Yoga + Wellness

More and more travelers are organizing their trips around yoga and wellness, whether it’s a week of downward facing dog on the beach, or a health-oriented spa retreat where activities and nutritious food are designed to make visitors feel like their best selves. Wellness is actually intrinsic to travel — vacations boost mental well-being and often include far more physical activity than the typical office worker's routine. Travel + Leisure keeps tabs on the latest health, wellness, and yoga travel news, plus related product recommendations and workouts.
