Yoga
retreat for couples
Vacation to truly relax and
recharge yourself
Nicole writes, “I
have read in several gossip magazines
that
Hollywood celebrities are in love
with Yoga, particularly all those
pregnant actresses. Is true? My
husband and I are contemplating if we
should go to a Yoga retreat. What do
you suggest?”
Indeed, Yoga is one of the most
popular forms of exercise today and
more and more studies find good things
about this ancient practice that
originated during the Iron Age in
India. For instance,
Yoga has been found to help women
during
 PMS. There is another
study that shows that
Yoga can help with prevention of
middle-age spread around the waist. And one of the reasons
it is so popular is that many
Hollywood celebrities have embraced
it. While not everything that
Hollywood celebrities do is always
good, but they have clearly done a
great job with spreading the good word
in this case. And since many
celebrities practiced it,
yoga is now being recommended to
pregnant women.
Some of the Hollywood celebrities on
the rapidly growing list of fans
are Jennifer López, Madonna, Naomi
Watts, Mariel Hemingway, Thalia,
Paulina Rubio, Ricky Martin, Meg Ryan,
Sting and his wife Trudie, Jerry
Seinfeld, and Gwyneth Paltrow. |

 Here are a few
reasons why you might want to combine
vacation and Yoga, particularly if you
are stressed out and need to recharge
yourself:
- Yoga tones and strengthens your body.
This will give you lean and long
muscles.
- Yoga relaxes you. While
all forms of
exercise relax you, but after a yoga
session, the feeling is much deeper
and longer. Remember that well rested
people generally look better.
- Yoga
keeps you young. All forms of
exercise do, but again, Yoga is a
complete exercise and it includes a
lot of flexibility. Since it also
relaxes your mind, you will also
experience mental peace – another key
ingredient for eternal beauty.
- Yoga keeps you healthy. There are many
studies that prove that Yoga can help
alleviate some illness symptoms.
Plus it is great for
losing weight without use of drugs -
a must for men with virility
problems.

Which Yoga
Retreat is the best?
While Kripalu Center for Yoga &
Health is our favorite, but you do not have to
go all the way to Lenox, MA,
unless you live in the area like
us.
Almost all
destination spas
now offer some form of yoga and
also often organize
yoga vacation
packages. What are important at
a Yoga retreat are the quality
of instructors and the type of
people that attend (rather than
the food and living
accommodation). If the
instructors are good and the
attendees truly committed to
learning and relaxing, you might
be just find going to a place
closer to home, rather than pick
a brand name resort or spa.
