Now, there are some excellent ashrams that offer this type of retreat, however, if you’re looking to blend travel with yoga, you’re probably looking for something a bit more relaxed and exciting.

While yoga and wine may not seem like the most likely match, what better combination is there when it comes to having an enjoyable wellness break? Yoga and wine retreats make for a relaxing getaway where you can enjoy daily yoga and meditation, tour vineyards and sip on fine wine.
