And while you're doing your body good with a little stretch and tone, don't forget there are three on site restaurants to indulge at during your visit. Treat yourself at Norma's, where breakfast is served all day, Mister Parker's, for delicious bistro fare, or nurse a nightcap at Mini Bar, before crashing into bed. 

Set on Costa Smeralda at the Grand Hotel in Porto Cervo, Sardinia Yoga offers a one-of-a-kind beachfront experience to enjoy sun, sand, and savasana. Only open for two sessions – one from May to June, and the other from September to October — you'll wake up every morning for yoga on the beach, followed by brunch where their house special, uove in camicia — is a local favorite. Spend your afternoons at Cala Granu beach, or stretch out by the hotel pool or in the gardens to bask in the Mediterranean sun. 

With white sandy beaches and turquoise water, Parrot Cay in Turks and Caicos is the perfect island destination to de-stress.

Cue a hotel that pledges complete commitment to your improved well-being. At the COMO Shambhala Estate in Bali, your quest for better health is at the heart of your stay. Choose from a variety of hatha yoga, pranayama, or meditation classes or choose a wellness package that's right for you. Enjoy healthful cuisine prepared fresh at Glow, the estate's all-day dining restaurant that features an open kitchen, so you can watch your cuisine as it's prepared. Looking forward to dinner there will help you get through the day's asanas.  

If solitude and serenity are what you're after, head to the Blue Spirit Retreat on the coast of Costa Rica, where you can become one with nature during your week-long yoga retreat. Achieve spiritual transformation while overlooking a three-mile white sand beach on the Pacific Ocean. After your practice, sip on smoothies and feast on freshly baked goods at the hotel's Café-Library, which also serves organic wines and local beers in the evening. You can also go all natural with their "pure food option," which offers greens, grains, and legumes without dressing or seasoning for lunch and dinner. Talk about cleansing! 

Haramara Retreat was created for inner restoration. Tranquility, nature, and security await you at your jungle retreat, where you can choose from a three-night or five-night package, offered from June to November. Your meals, spa treatments, and yoga classes are included in the cost of your stay. If that's not enough to kick-start your mind into vacation mode, then the well balanced and delicious Mexican cuisine served on-site in the open air restaurant overlooking the ocean will have you taking a permanent leave of absence from your working life.

And if you feel like harnessing your cooking skills, sign up for classes at La Cocina Que Canta, where they use the best local and seasonal ingredients. 

It's every yogi's dream — perfecting your eagle pose overlooking the ocean on the Canary Islands.

Early morning yoga classes are followed by a swim in the ocean, and in the afternoon, you'll unwind at the hotel's spa. 

Take an exotic holiday and venture to Kovalam, a seaside village in Kerala, India, for a two-week retreat to enrich body and mind.

Kailasam promises the calm setting you crave for an ideal yoga practice. You'll take two classes each day with breakfast on site and the chance to explore the town for lunch and dinner. In the middle of the retreat, you're given two days off from yoga to explore Kerala or relax in Kovalam.
