Vietnam
From the bustling capital of Hanoi to the garment city of Hoi An, this yoga retreat in Vietnam shows you the bounty and diversity of life in this Southeast Asian Country. You’ll chant at sunrise with Buddhist monks, bike trails around scenic villages, set sail on the gorgeous waters of Hạ Long Bay, lunch in a traditional stilt-house en route to Hoi An and enjoy, daily, the best food of your life. This trip is the dream of any modern-day adventurer.
Your inner wanderer will be delighted on this yoga retreat in Vietnam, whether you’re sailing, biking, or exploring floating villages and ancient caves. You’ll hop from one luxury boutique hotel to the next as you make your way from Hanoi to Hue to Hue to Hoi An—with a cruise in Ha Long Bay in between (did we mention sailing, swimming, cave exploring, and a visit to a floating village, too?).
