Dubai Yogis On Tour

UAE yoga instructors are now rolling up their mats and taking their classes on tour…

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE AN ADVENTURE
Book a flight to Nepal and join UAE yogi Suzanne Robson at Tiger Tops. Suzanne and UAE athlete Tori Leckie are hosting a Yoga & Safari Retreat from 26 April to 2 May 2014 at this five-star retreat in the Himalayas. You can practise your yoga in this mountainous resort, then join some of its inhabitants for a ride through the Nepalese wilderness. Priced USD2,330 per person for seven days/six nights. To reserve your place and find out more email tigertopsyoga@gmail.com

IF YOU WANT TO PUSH YOUR LIMITS
Sign up for one of the double-duty fitness retreats run by liv2lead.com. Run by yoga instructor, fitness coach and NLP practitioner Livia, the Yoga Retreats team regularly takes its yoga mats to foreign shores for a little inspiration. This year alone, the team has already held events in Sri Lanka and Nepal. Whether you want to chill out or burn calories, you are sure to find the perfect retreat for you. Previous retreats have included horse-riding, rock climbing and snorkeling sessions, as well as the obligatory down dog. Liv’s next double-duty retreat – which includes whitewater rafting and yoga – will be in Borneo from 13 to 20 February, priced Dhs5,950. Includes accommodation and lessons; www.yogaretreats.ae

IF YOU WANT TO GET YOUR ZEN ON
Take your luggage to Noura El-Imam’s retreats on the tropical islands of Zanzibar or the Maldives. You’re guaranteed to get your Zen on as soon as you step off the plane. Noura also partners with other retreats elsewhere in the world, such as Inside Out in Malta, so you still have the chance to explore, but it comes with the Yogalates stamp of approval.  Priced around Dhs3,209 for accommodation, food and classes; www.yogalatesblissindubai.com

IF YOU WANT TO FEEL REFRESHED
Roll out your yoga mat at Kaya Peters’ Portugese retreat [shown]. This VIP package is designed to revive you from top to toe. From the daily rejuvenating yoga classes to the detoxifying spa treatments, you will be able to fly back into Terminal 1 feeling a whole new you. Retreats held in July and September, priced from Dhs12,000. Visit www.kayapeters.com for more details.
