ashrams are different forms of this type of tourism. Classes for massages,
Reiki, meditation and other relaxation practices are also common for those
looking to expand their knowledge and skills.

Tips for Yoga and Meditation Tourism
·
Following the Rules: Yoga tourism and meditation tourism offers many types of
travel. For example, some yoga retreats take place in Ashrams, while others are
at spas and resorts. The most important thing to note is that wherever you
choose to go, you follow the rules and guidelines. Be sure to carefully read
those rules and guidelines to make sure that you are comfortable following
them.
·
Vacationing: Staying at Ashrams and Monasteries in the US, India and throughout
Asia, are usually free; however, you might be required to participate in daily
chores to offset the cost. Some of these Ashrams and Monasteries are the
birthplace of various types of yoga. You can also book your stay in a resort,
which provides yoga sessions to relax and soothe your mind, or resorts and spas
that specialize in yoga and other meditational classes. We urge you to
carefully research your options before booking your stay.
·
Staying Healthy: Staying healthy is important. Make sure that you are properly
vaccinated and have health insurance before visiting certain destinations. In
tropical areas found in the Americas, Africa and Southeast Asia
protection/vaccinations for malaria and yellow fever may be necessary.
·
Staying Connected: Communication can be a bit of an issue for travelers, not everyone
can afford a satellite phone. If you stay at an Ashram or Monastery, there
might not be a central phone available, which means that holding all phone
calls or emails might be required. Should you decide to stay at an Ashram or a
Monastery, do some research to find out about available modes of communication
before booking your stay.
