Yoga holidays

Yoga holidays around the world. Yoga is a psycho-physical-spiritual discipline developed in India some 5000 years ago. Today most yoga practices in the West focus on the physical postures or 'asanas'. Some Western yoga styles will also include meditation and breathing techniques. Yoga styles include Astanga, Bikram, Hatha, Iyengar, Kundalini, Scaravelli and Viniyoga.
