5 of the best Affordable Yoga Retreats for 2020
We would forgive you for thinking it’s impossible to find a yoga retreat with an extensive programme and the best facilities without spending a lot of your hard-earned cash. Thanks to the growing trend of luxury yoga retreats that offer state of the art facilities and promise 5-star pampering, many assume that it’s impossible to experience a yoga retreat without the hefty price tag.

Fortunately, this is not the case. There is a plethora of wonderful, affordable yoga retreats around the world which offer everything you’d expect and more at an affordable price. But don’t just take our word for it. We’ve put together this selection of incredible retreats which will help you embrace your inner yogi without breaking the bank.
