Combination yoga holidays – adventure, sport, activity and culture combined with a yoga break

As yoga holidays become ever more popular we are seeing more combination holidays being offered. These are holidays and courses that combine yoga with other activities, such as walking, climbing diving, cooking and painting.
     Combination yoga holidays are not aimed at hard-core yogis who want to devote their entire holiday to improving their yoga practice, but to the far larger group of yoga fans who just want a holiday where they can practice yoga at the same time as taking part in an active sport, enjoying a hobby or learning a new skill.
     Sports enthusiast such as surfers, divers, skiers and climbers are also discovering the benefits that yoga can bring and are signing up for activity holidays, workshops, courses and training camps that weave in yoga sessions along with their chosen sport.

Types of combination yoga holiday
Combination yoga holidays can be roughly split into two categories, firstly yoga combined with an active sport or adventure activity, sometimes also referred to as adventure yoga, where the physical (and mental) benefits of yoga actively benefit the other activity. Secondly yoga teamed with cultural or creative interests such as cooking, painting or writing where the benefits are less obvious, until one considers the mind/body connection.
