A Luxury Tour for Body and Mind

May 17th, 2011

Yoga World Tours operates out of Europe, Asia and the US but consider themselves a close-knit “yoga family” and they want you to become a part of it. The meaning of yoga is to “Unite” and this tour company does just that, by customizing 11 to 22 day yoga, pilates and tai chi tours for small groups. With tour destinations to Hawaii, Costa Rica, Morocco, Japan, Indonesia (Bali), Thailand, New Zealand and Europe, YWT provides all-inclusive accommodations, including transportation, guided excursions, workshops and meals. Their network of yoga instructors offer innovative teaching and healing techniques designed to inspire the beginner or deepen the practice of a more seasoned yogi. Along with the instructors, two tour leaders are assigned to each group. Tour leaders speak the language of the chosen destination and have knowledge of the most unique settings for each practice that only locals would have insight to. Planning your next vacation with Yoga World Tours will provide culture and luxury for your mind, body and spirit.
