Yoga holidays in exotic locations. Morning and Evening Yoga, the rest of the day is yours. Dive, Hike, Climb or Ski, or lazy days to do as you please. Sunrise Yoga in the Serengeti, Snowboarding in the Alps or Scuba Diving in the Andaman Ocean.

We offer retreats, weekend breaks and yoga holidays for the whole family. We specialise in sport yoga, pillates, kids yoga and various styles of yoga including Hatha, Ashtanga, Iyengar and Sivananda.

How the minimum criteria of the 
responsible travel standard was met...
responsible travel standard was met...economic responsibility
- We have decided to donate 10% of all Yogatraveller’s profits and put it towards communities who have suffered due to the tsunami in late 2004. The areas we wish to see this money go to are areas of aid that would have suffered due to complete funding going to immediate disaster relief. Women’s educational programs in Thailand and trafficking for example.
- It is our intention to bring tourists back to the island of Koh Phi Phi which suffered greatly as a result of this disaster. We will bring educated and responsible tourists to generate as much local business as we can, encouraging our guests to dine in different locations around the island. Our guests will get bed and breakfast at Phi Phi Villas, a small locally run resort.
- While operating our Yoga-Safaris in Africa we plan to use Emanuel, a locally registered and trained guide, and to help bring money, through our work with him to his community, of which he is a contributing member. All his guides, cooks and porters are locally employed.
environmental responsibility
- We are a paperless business, operating entirely online and with computers. Neither of us owns a car.
- When our customers arrive at all our locations, we give them information on how to recycle rubbish, care for the community, how to help protect the environment and how to conserve water. Wengen is a UNESCO protected area and we instruct our guests how they can help to maintain the pristine beauty and fragility of this environment.
social responsibility
- We have scheduled Ireland Retreats (aug/sep 06) offering organic food which is locally sourced from farmers in the remote locations we are staying in. All our food supplied is vegetarian.
- We will keep our prices realistic and reasonable with commensurate and fair profit for all parties involved. These prices are a lot cheaper than similar holidays but the profits are fair. We are simply cutting out the middleman due to our knowledge and experience in these areas. We think of this as fair-trade-travel.
- Once a booking is made we send a welcome letter appropriate to each location for our guests stipulating important information on water conservation, local culture and areas of sensitivity. Understanding the position we are in I feel we can use this position effectively by setting a good example.
