Are you one of those people that always goes away for New Year or Christmas.

There are so many retreats and vacation destinations open to you in December.

A yoga getaway is inspiring at this time of year, with the freedom that you don't get feeling stuck at home.

So where is in and where is out for this year.

Out is Europe and Bali probably. It's often wet.

And in with the cool retreat vibes are -

• Mexico
  December is a great time to visit as the weather is warm but not too hot.
  The chilled beach vibe make this a perfect vacation spot to get some nice weather with your yoga retreat at Christmas or New Year.
  
• Thailand
  The start of the new year is also the start of the good weather. So a great time to plan a retreat here.
  All the islands can be busy at this time of year so there will be lots of yogis around to hang out with.
  Forward planning is a good idea as flights and accommodation can be full.
  If you book last minute the prices can be significantly higher too so a good idea to plan in advance your new year retreat here.
• Costa Rica
  Rugged, raw, beautiful, this is the first busier month before high season at the start of the year. A top pick for those of us from the USA for sure.
• Sri Lanka
  With less rainy days Christmas is the prefect time to visit.
  Lately it has become a mecca of high-end retreat centers offering holistic therapeutic treatments.
  You could return after a Christmas retreat break (or over New Years) feeling refreshed and reinvigorated.
  Plan early as there are not many hot spots here.
  
• India
  Always waiting patiently for you to walk on her spiritual land.
  December marks the start of winter with dry and sunny weather.
  Goa is especially popular in December and with New Year retreats.
