Yoga and Meditation Travel – Episode 127 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast

Thanks to the wonders of modern social media I have a bunch of yoga travel friends and know plenty of people who decide meditation in Bali is the best use of their holiday time. And I am not disagreeing with them – the idea of travelling somewhere to really focus on ME through yoga and meditation sounds delightful! I’m just not quite at the phase of my life where this is practical.

But I do love hearing about how other travellers combine yoga and/or meditation with their trips, and that’s what this episode is all about.

Yoga and Meditation Travel

Ever been on a yoga retreat in an exotic destination or considered a meditation vacation? On Episode 127 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast we are talking yoga and meditation travel – where’s a good place to go for a yoga holiday, what are the benefits of spending some of your travel time meditating, and much more!

My first guest is Meagan Hurst who is my total go-to-gal for all things yoga – and she comes through with some great discussion of yoga teacher training in Nicaragua and also the idea of “DIY yoga retreats”, for the budget-conscious yoga traveller.

After that I chat to Kate Manser who accidentally went on a multi-year yoga and meditation world tour! She has lots of interesting tips on destinations across Asia and some interesting tales too.

Finally, I talk with Queen D Michele who recently moved to live in Mexico, in the Lake Chipala area, which as it turns out is a bit of a hotspot for meditation and yoga and has quite drastically changed the way Queen lives.
