Discover the Best Affordable Yoga Retreats in 2021/2022
A retreat away does not have to break the bank anymore.
With the increase in the number of retreat centers these days there is sure to be a
holiday best matching your budget wherever you wish to go in the world.
There are affordable retreats all around the world to make your yoga vacation dream come true for you.
Here is our ultimate guide, updated, explaining step by step how to find the most perfect yoga retreat for yourself as the market is very busy and varied, so these tips will help you make the right decision for your time spent away.
There are different levels on offer these days - all types and all price ranges.
If you choose well there are ways of getting a lot of the comforts and amenities
in an affordable yoga retreat.
Many yoga retreats offer an early bird price. Not only will you save on the retreat price but you will be able to book
your flight early too which will make it much cheaper.
When you are waiting for a plane or in transit try these.
2. Avoid high and peak season if possible
If you stay just outside of high season you often get exactly the same weather but save on the cost.
And in the tropics the rainy months can mean just an afternoon or evening shower anyway.
Investigate availability in the months just before or after the high season.
Or make your way to your chosen destination in low season and enjoy much more affordable pricing.
3. Consider the Location costs
There are some general price differences based on location but they don't always have to be true.
If you really want to go to a specific location there will be an option to cater for you,
you just need to consider all factors here and search on our site well too.
And if a more expensive destination is really where you want to be then go when the prices are lower in the low season.
Here's a list of the top countries-
- Bali and Costa Rica are on the more expensive side but you will be able to find affordable options here all year round if you look hard. Just stay away from Christmas and New Year in both locations, and June to August in Bali too, if you are looking for a good value retreat, as these are peak season high-priced periods.
- Thailand is generally very affordable all year round and the facilities are still great. Peak Season is January to March. Lower season is April to October.
- India and Sri Lanka offer the cheapest options but the distances can be great to travel. If you are visiting just only one place in India you should be able to find a cheap retreat at any time of year.
- Europe has the whole range so you are sure to find something that matches your interests and budget, but if you want to go in the high and peak season of summer then make sure to book early, but there are plenty of other months in the year when you will find deals to be had.
- Favorite European countries - UK - Italy - Portugal - Spain - during the Northern Hemisphere's Spring, Summer through to Autumn.
- At the same time of year (April to September) all across Europe is busy in - Germany - Sweden - Hungary - Austria - Greece - France - Croatia - Netherlands - Denmark - Czech Republic - Estonia - Poland - Belgium - Switzerland
- Far away from each other but at the same time of year of April to September there are good options in - USA - Canada - Japan - South Korea - China - Turkey - Morocco - Russia - South Africa
- In the Americas there is - Ecuador - Brazil - Colombia - Peru - Venezuela - Bolivia - Dominican Republic - Chile - Argentina - Uruguay
- And the more popular yoga travel destinations of Mexico and Costa Rica too, all of the Americas are busiest at the start of the year, same as in South East Asia, in December, January, `February and March.
- Even in October and November you will find options to take a trip away, domestically or on an international retreat.
4. Accommodation
This is always the best way to save money. Book the cheapest form of accommodation on the retreat you are really interested in, if you are going solo travel.
Save on where you sleep and still get to experience all of the activities that you really want to at the location of your choice.
You could even consider shared room options if they are available.
Convince a friend to come with you and it's as good as a private room really, at the cost of a shared room!
Take your pick based on what yoga holiday location you like, exactly what you want to do and how long you have to spend.
Asia has many options and is convenient even for a quick break for people living in Australasia.
It is very convenient for people who wish to go on a retreat getaway in South East Asia - convenient for Australia, Asia and the UAE.
Not so near for US residents though, who would be better with Costa Rica, Mexico or South America for a short break away, or stay somewhere near home.
If you have time on your hands then follow your heart.
Find your best yoga retreat and make a dream vacation of it somewhere that suits you best.
Yoga has a way of making sure we find the right place and people for ourselves, as and when needed.
