Before we start, I wanted to tell you that I’m not in any way affiliated with these retreats or the booking sites. They are retreats that I have have found in my own search for the best yoga and mindfulness retreats in a reasonable price range. My goal is to attend at least one of them this year!
After searching through hundreds of retreats, I have picked the following 13 as my top options. All of these yoga and mindfulness retreats are well priced, have amazing reviews, are in beautiful locations, and sound like relaxing and rejuvenating experiences.
