Through our unique connections you will experience a blessing with the High Lama, stay at an active monastery, explore ancient fortresses and temples, raft the rapids, mingle with monks and discover yourself in the Land of the Thunder Dragon. In this world apart, you’ll discover a moving feast of culture, nature and infectious local smiles. It’s an ideal destination for personal enrichment and deepening your yoga practice.

When we meet you will find that my philosophies on the mat are mirrored in my approach to life. I’ve been teaching yoga and meditation for over 20 years and my takeaways from time on my mat is always changing… It’s the beauty of yoga – it meets you where you are in that moment and it never judges or criticizes or asks anything more from you then you have to offer. There’s no doubt our practices on the mat enhances our most important practice… living life live now. Each morning I pause before diving into the “business” of the day and ask myself “What would I love to feel more or less of that I can thread thru my experiences?” I flow a bit waking up on all levels and my morning teachings reflect a sense of awakening. As the day wanes, my teachings are soothing, relective and restorative. I believe there is so much that lies beneath the surface of our beings and that yoga and meditation helps us dive through the tip of the iceberg, clearing clutter, so that we are more fully awake and able to embrace life!

Erich Schiffmann has been monumental in my approach to life on and off the mat. His teachings of “being on line all the time” takes you out of habit-mind and into “life live now”. His Freedom Style approach to yoga and life empowers the inner teacher to be heard. Who doesn’t want to cultivate a more meaningful relationship with themselves and others? Yoga and meditation are vehicles that help us find more space between breaths and longer pauses between thoughts so that we are able to hear our inner voices speaking about what matters most to each of us!  “Living life live” means living life alive and fully in the present. If not now, when??

My various vinyasa flow practices reflect a meditation of movement whether gentle or powerful. I absolutely love to sequence so the movements are a meditation in themself. Connected thru the breath, we stay present. Through this connection, we can explore the subtle micro adjustments to find the yin and yang in every pose. It is a goal to take this flow of breath from my practice off the mat and into my world…  inhaling life’s inspiration, exhaling the debris. I believe where the breath is stuck, so is our prana.

Last but certainly not least, my subtle body and yin teachings. Yin found me while living in the high mountains of Colorado. I think it’s important to pause often and integrate physical stillness. Being in conversation with ourselves leads to profound intuitive inquisition.

As the owner of  Be.Yoga  in Avon CT, as a teacher and as a student, I love exploring and learning especially beneath the surface of things. I love to travel and simmer in other cultures and learn from their lifestyles. I started leading yoga retreats and adventures in 2008 as a way to bring like minded people together to pause and explore life both on and off the mat.

I hope to meet you in the flow! Feel free to email me at  [email protected]   any time with questions, insights or inspirations!

TESTIMONIALS

Adventure well(ness), frequently asked questions.

You’ll want to schedule your flight into Bangkok (BKK) at least one day before the trip begins.  We have your flight from Bangkok to Paro, Bhutan taken care of on day one of your trip, but flight times are determined closer to the trip so everyone needs to be in the night before. We’ll also fly you back to Bangkok on the last day of your adventure and we require that you not book any outbound flight from Thailand any earlier than 9pm on the last day.

Electricity in Bhutan runs on 220V. Most U.S. based devices that need to be charged (including camera batteries, mp3 players, etc.) work with outlets ranging from 110–240 volts, so they typically do not require a power converter. However, it will be up to you to check your individual electronics. This information is located on the plug itself and is usually very easy to find. Outlet configurations in Bhutan are normally European-style: round, two- or three-pronged. As outlets can change from place to place, we recommend you bring an outlet adapter to ensure you do not have problems plugging your devices in. Hotel Zhiwa Ling in Paro uses U.S. outlets.

Yes!  Please note that travel insurance in required for all travelers and proof on insurance will be required on day one.  All plans must include medical evacuation coverage.  Please contact The Travel Yogi with any questions.

Yes, all of our lux hotels will have wifi available.

On this adventure, yes, it is necessary that you bring your own mat with you.  Our guides will carry them for you, along with your luggage.  A mat and a strap are good options but unless you absolutely need a block, we recommend you leave that at home.  The Travel Yogi teachers that head out to Bhutan devise classes without props.

There are no inoculation requirements at this time but it is suggested that you be up to date on your tetanus, typhoid and hepatitis A.  Any questions about your specific inoculation needs to should directed to your personal physician in advance of this adventure.

Yes!  Of course.  Once you’re booked you’ll receive an email with important logistical information and a link to your invoice.  You can pay any amount at any time on the invoice; you can use it as a payment plan or leave it alone until the final due date. Remember that deposits are non-refundable so, on all trips, we recommend purchasing travel insurance.

From Punakha, drive back to Paro for a hike to the famous Tiger's Nest Monastery, followed by a final spa, restorative yoga, and a deep relaxation session.

When Is The Best Time To Go?

The time of spring from March to May and Autumn from late September to November is regarded as the best time to take tours in Bhutan. As the weather and sky are clear, the views of the mountains are beautiful and vivid.

Moreover, the climate is pleasant, and you might catch the locals celebrating different events during these festive seasons.

Once they arrived, Guru Rinpoche spent three years, three months, three days, and three hours meditating in the cave. After he finished, it became a holy place known as Paro Taktsang or Tiger's Nest Monastery. Located at the clifftop, the monastery offers a wide-angle view of the surrounding areas. As you hike higher, the trail gets steeper and zig-zags between the trees to make the slope easier to climb. You'll get to witness legendary caves where Guru Rimpoche is said to have landed to meditate after flying on a tiger's back.

Once back at your hotel, join the last yoga session of this trip and relax until the next morning.

To many, the ideal vacation is one of both exploration and relaxation. Most of us aren’t round-the-clock thrill-seekers or constant nappers. Instead, we like to go big and then take it easy. We want to see the big, beautiful world, but we also want to stop to smell the roses—and you need energy to do all the things you want. So, naturally, there’s a good chance you’ll feel better and be way more psyched on adventure if you start and end your day with delicious food and healthy yoga sessions. Get your blood pumping, loose up your muscles, fill your stomach with healthy treats, and prepare to take on the world around you!

This week’s #BirthdayBucketList comes courtesy of The Travel Yogi , who had a downright incredible time while staying at a Bhutanese wellness and yoga retreat. Since Bhutan limits its total availability of annual tourists visas, the country is able more easily maintain as well as sustain their colorful, wondrous culture. Luckily, The Travel Yogi went and, in turn, laid out a terrific 10-day adventure of fun and rest, based on the team’s journey as well as venue deets (yes, Amankora always has us drooling) and some insider's information providing everything you need to know before booking the ultimate yoga retreat.

Tell us about how The Travel Yogi was started... 

The Travel Yogi started at the crossroads of experience and right place, right time. In 2010 TTY’s founder, Jen, had 10 years of travel industry experience under her belt. The same can be said for her yoga practice; there was a solid decade of Los Angeles asana clocked on her mat but there was always a hesitancy to take her practice on the road. The trips that were offered lacked that adventure-travel flair. Quite simply, there was a need for The Travel Yogi to exist; a need for a company with the adventure travel background to step in and curate some amazing trips. So, POOF… The Travel Yogi was born!  

What should one expect when going on a trip with The Travel Yogi? We imagine the experiance is totally life changing!

There are three things you should expect when traveling with The Travel Yogi...

Transformational Travel: The Travel Yogi is founded on the principle that both yoga and travel are transformational experiences. Think making lunch in a Mayan village where no one speaks English will change you? Or coming out of savasana to see a Giant Galapagos Tortoise lumbering by our studio? How about an impromptu meeting with a Minister of Happiness in Bhutan? Check, check, check…  Our magic formula is E=yt2, or “experience = yoga-travel-squared”. By bringing the best teachers to the best wellness itineraries, we’ve got ‘transformation’ in the bag.  

Amazing Yoga:  The same dedication that goes in to each of our travel experiences also applies to how we choose our teachers. Our handpicked crew have the trifecta distinction of:

1) Inspiring Yoga Classes – Boundary pushing and individually responsive classes designed to speak to each unique group

2) Travel-Savvy Leader Skills – Our teacher-leaders are with you all the way. They love to travel, explore and experience with all of you!

3) Infectious Personalities – Trust us, you’ll love these guys as much as we do. Our teachers are the kind of folks you want to travel with.

Kick-ass Communication: You’re going someplace new and you’re going to have lots of questions! Whether you have a how-to, how-will-it-be or a is-this-for-me question, we’re here for you. We know our destinations and we’re always plugged in and available. Communication is key when calming travel jitters or pumping up the excitement volume and we get that. It starts with an inquiry and ends when you deplane, and we’re with you all the way.

Tell us about the Bhutan yoga retreat...

Bhutan is one of those locations that we just can’t do justice to in words, photos or videos. Lord knows we try, but there’s a specialness to Bhutan that you just have to be there to fully appreciate. The vibe of the country emanates from the people, inspires an intangible ‘something’, and is wholly unique among our travel destinations. The openness of the locals, yoga-ing amid centuries old stupas and being enveloped by the culture is intoxicating, but the essence of experiencing Bhutan is greater than the sum of these parts. Bhutan, simply put, must be experienced, not described.

Where will your group stay during the Bhutan retreat? 

Our Bhutan yoga adventure is a moveable feast. If you want to really experience the country you have to be willing to journey through time and out into the wild. You have to take your practice to new heights (literally) and have a lot of storage space on your digital camera (ha).  Our yogis get to revel in Paro, Thimphu and Punakha, and yup, it’s luxury hotels all the way.  We partner with Densa , Zhwia Ling and Terma Linca to ensure that each crazy-amazing day ends with lux-amazing sleep and cultural flair. 

Tell us a little bit about the venues. 

Think “lux” the entire time… 

In Paro we stay at Zhiwa Ling ; the only Bhutanese owned property in the country to receive a 5-star rating. The 45 room hotel is culture/comfort in a perfect meld. You’ve got to go to the temple built on the 2nd floor of the hotel.  Made with the wood from a monastery, it is gorgeous and not to be missed. National Geographic designated Zhiwa Ling one of the “Unique Lodges of the World” for their commitment to sustainability, authenticity and excellence.

Thimphu takes us to Terma Linca and the river that runs right through the property. The rooms are sleek, clean and spacious. Surrounded by green and blue (mountains and water), it is a gorgeous place to relax and practice.  

Punakha is Densa beauty. Located a short hike below the Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Lhakhang Nunnery and with views of the Punakha River, Densa is a tranquil paradise.  The hotel lines are contemporary, clean and welcoming while the artistry is local thoroughly ingrained in every room and public space.  

What has been your favorite take-away from these trips? 

Our travelers come back with the best stories! There was the group that lunched two tables away from the crown prince of Bhutan and the group that had the surprise lunch with a government minister.  There was the visit to the school that inspired contagious giggles across all age ranges and crystal clear blue-sky day that showed up just in time for white water rafting down the Po chu River. We build these trips so we know them inside and out, but there’s nothing like hearing the itinerary from one of our travel yogis. Our favorite piece of the Bhutan adventure is the ear-to-ear, can’t-tell-stories-fast-enough, soul-soaked experience that gets relayed to us by our travel yogis after each trip. 

So for all you inspired yogi's out there ready to book that ticket. Here's a little bit more information about what your day to day will look like. You can find each destination's full iteniary on The Travel Yogi as well.

Yoga/Meditation Retreats

Bhutan lends itself very naturally to yoga, meditation and spiritual pursuits with its serene and clam environment and Buddhist Culture. While practicing yoga and meditation, one also gets to experience the cultural and traditional enrichment of Bhutan as we undertake a spiritual yogic journey.

Our signature yoga retreat is back on the 2018 calendar from 30 September – 14 October .Our retreat includes daily asana and meditation, cultural activities and sights and a 5 day trek into the heart of the Himalaya mountains.

Join Bhutan Tours and Travels for a 15 day all-inclusive yoga, cultural and trekking tour of Bhutan in September 2018. Yoga and Bhutan are a natural combination; the practice naturally deepens in such a spiritual country. Daily yoga and meditation helps support you through the rigors of travel and sight-seeing as you open your spirit to the magic of Bhutan.   Our retreat includes daily asana and meditation, cultural activities and sights and a 5 day trek into the heart of the Himalaya mountains. With Bhutan Tours and Travels 30 years of experience and focus on safety, let us be your guides through the Kingdom of Bhutan.

Himalayan folksongs sometimes sing of beyul—hidden lands of happiness that can only be seen by those of pure heart and mind.  These utopias were not fantasies of hidden “Shangri-La” but rather allegories of an exalted mental state.  Many great yogic masters teach that thought affects matter, that the world is created by our minds and that “utopia” can only be found within.

Day 4 – Bumdra Trek, first overnight camp

The Bum Dra trek is one of the most beautiful short duration treks in Bhutan with only one night camping in the wild. But the scenery and landscape may well be worth compared to all of the other treks and also in terms of the adventure and the experience that goes along as you hike up. Also called the ‘The Trek of the Thousand Dakinis’ (celestial female beings) you can even explore the numerous sacred and holy caves where the angels had convened. You can also get a spectacular view of the Taktsang Monastery from the top, which you will not see from the usual tourist route.

From your hotel, drive for about 20 minutes till you reach the road end at Sangchhoekor Buddhist College perched on a hill top at 2,800 meters. It is a beautiful hike with sweeping views of the Paro valley, the Himalayan ranges and meadows adorned with prayer flags till you reach the campsite just below the BumDrak Monastery.

The trail is through forests of rhododendron and pine trees and is a moderately leisurely hike.

Most of the flights from Bhutan leave in the morning, so we recommend you to make the most of your remaining time at the Sanctuary by doing one more yoga or meditation session, and have a healthy leisurely breakfast.

Sustainable Tourism Destinations: Conservation-Based Travel Guide Series Launch

Ever Wonder Adventure launches a new travel guides series detailing the world’s top sustainable tourism destinations, including the Trans Bhutan Trial, Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle, and Puerto Princesa.

Singapore, Singapore - April 28, 2024 —

Coinciding with the announcement, the conservation website has also launched a line of ‘Adventure Travel’ and ‘Saving Earth’ merchandise, with each purchase contributing to the development of additional travel guides. The website’s goal is to promote sustainable tourism practices, which focus on preserving the natural environment and giving back to native/local communities.

More details can be found at https://www.everwonderadventure.com/sustainable-tourism

In addition to the new travel guide series, Ever Wonder Adventure aims to draw attention to pressing environmental issues. To that end, the website also offers in-depth articles on a variety of topics, such as saving sea turtles and reducing or eliminating food waste.

“With our new travel guide series, Ever Wonder Adventure introduces you to unexplored landscapes, serene coastlines, picturesque hills, and forested towns, offering a chance to reconnect with pristine beauty,” a company representative explained. “By purchasing bespoke products, you contribute to preserving the environment and safeguarding these mesmerizing landscapes for future generations.”

A recent report from Future Market Insights values the global sustainable tourism market at over US$1.5 trillion this year. The firm projects a CAGR of 23.8% over the next 10 years, reaching a total value of US$12.8 trillion by 2034.

As Ever Wonder Adventure points out, such statistics highlight the growing awareness and interest in sustainable tourism among the traveling public. However, the firm also points out that many people do not know how best to support such activities, and the new travel guide was therefore developed to draw attention to some of the leading initiatives from all around the world.

About Ever Wonder Adventure

In support of its conservation activities, Ever Wonder Adventure has curated a growing line of apparel and travel products, including unisex t-shirts, sweatshirts, swimsuits, bikinis, yoga mats, and more. Many of the pieces are themed from destinations covered in the firm’s adventure travel series, including Thailand, Laos, New Zealand, and the Philippines.

“By choosing to purchase one of our curated, bespoke, and customized pieces, you are joining us in creating a legacy of love for our planet,” the firm continues. “It's an investment in a future where our experiences in nature are harmonious and sustainable.”

Travel + Leisure

As a shopping and travel writer, I’ve practically made it my life’s mission to build a wardrobe around comfortable loungewear and athleisure pieces. As such, one of my all-time favorite hobbies is browsing through my favorite retailers for cozy outfits I can imagine myself lounging around the house in, going for a hot girl walk in, and of course, wearing on flights. This weekend, my browsing is leading to actual purchases because my favorite brands (like REI , Lululemon , Alo Yoga , Abercrombie , and Everlane ) are offering up to 70 perfect off comfortable travel clothes for a limited time. 

And because I’m your in-house resident shopping expert, I spent hours going through the thousands of deals across the web to present you the best 11 comfortable loungewear and athleisure deals in terms of style, quality, and of course, savings. Deals start at just $23, so if I were you, I’d get scrolling to shop the best deals on comfortable travel pants , athletic dresses , skorts , and more.

Alo Yoga Airlift Fly Dress

Tenniscore is absolutely in, and what better way to embrace this trend than with this stunning athletic dress from celeb-loved brand Alo Yoga ? On sale in this universally flattering plum color, this dress can be sported to the courts, running errands, and even to the airport (especially if you want the unofficial title of best-dressed). Athletic dresses are the perfect garment to throw on during the hotter months, and even better this one is designed with a built-in bra so it’s one less thing to worry about.

Patagonia Baggies Shorts 

I did a deep dive on the /BuyItForLife subreddit a few months ago and found that wide and far, travelers are absolutely enamored with Patagonia as one of the “most reliable outdoor clothing brands” that “lasts forever and is made well.” Since then, I’ve been trying to add as many items from the brand as possible to my travel wardrobe, so when I saw these water-repellent baggy shorts on sale for $41, I knew I had to have them immediately. They’re an absolute warm-weather must, so if I were you, I’d add them to your cart before they inevitably sell out. 

Beyond Yoga Spacedye High-waisted Biker Shorts

Designed with a super butter-soft material and flattering high-rise fit, these wear-everywhere biker shorts from Travel + Leisure editor-loved brand Beyond Yoga are just what your travel wardrobe needs this season. I personally love biker shorts; they’re the spring and summer’s equivalent of leggings with their flexible and compressive fit that keeps everything in place when you're on the go (or settling into a long-haul flight). And this specific pair happens to be sporting a 30 percent discount this weekend. 

Lululemon Stretch High-rise Wide-leg Pants

Lululemon is known for its top-rated, travel-ready activewear and accessories that we can’t get enough of at T+L . And although there are plenty of must-buy items in the retailer’s “ We Made Too Much ” section, I’ll never miss an opportunity to add an incredibly soft pair of the brand's pants to my closet. I’m a sucker for anything that I can wear while lounging around the house and during travel, and between these pants' supremely soft material, high-rise design, and flowy fit, they’re a can’t-miss item to shop this weekend. 

Abercrombie YPB SculptLux Strappy-back Onesie

Abercrombie

Lately, my go-to retailer for comfortable travel clothes is Abercrombie — more specifically, the brand’s activewear line: YPB. It can be a challenge to find quality and comfortable athleisure pieces that both look and feel good, but everything that I’ve tried from the brand has been an absolute knock out of the park. And right now I’m picturing myself frolicking around in this strappy onesie everywhere from the pilates studio to window shopping IRL. I personally love onesies for their comfort and have been able to style them with cardigans, flannels, and more to make them more versatile in my wardrobe. 

Abercrombie YPB SculptLux Curvelove ⅞-Length Leggings

Shoppers have dubbed these leggings from Abercrombie as “the best workout leggings,” expressing that they are “super compressive, soft, and very flattering.” I have more pairs of black leggings than I can count, so I’m super intrigued by this color block pair to add a bit of spice to my styling routine. I encourage you to do the same, considering they’re on special sale for $23 for a limited time. 

Everlane The Cloud Oversized Cardigan 

To say that I’m a fan of cardigans would be an understatement. I'm utterly obsessed with these versatile layering garments that add a bit of extra warmth to any outfit, and sometimes I’ll even roll mine up into a ball and use it as a neck rest for flights and commutes. I love everything from Everlane, so when I saw they discounted this stylish cardigan a shocking 70 percent, my jaw nearly hit the floor. Cardigans are a year-round must for me, so this textured version will be more than welcomed to my wardrobe. 

Vuori Colorblock Corset Jumpsuit

I don’t know what it is, but compressive jumpsuits flatter my figure more than any other garment could. Call it magic or just great design, but I can’t get enough of them. They feel almost like a second skin, and wear excellently during activities like running and yoga, yet are still comfortable enough to wear on long travel days. If you haven’t had the pleasure of wearing an active jumpsuit, then let me be the one to introduce you with this on-sale one from T+L editor-loved brand Vuori , offering a corset design for extra style and a form-hugging material that moves with you , not against. 

Vuori Bayview Thermal Crop Tank

When it comes to comfortable travel clothes, pants often get the most attention. While nobody wants to endure a hectic travel day in a pair of scratchy, overly tight pants, the same goes for an ill-fitting top. Luckily, this cropped tank solves that issue with its thermal knit material and built-in bra for a supportive, cozy fit. Rock it solo on a warm day, or layer it under a cardigan or sweater for lasting comfort.

Anrabess Two-piece Sweater Set

Crafted from a soft and comfortable fabric, this set includes a sleeveless sweater and loose-fitting pants that can be worn as a set or apart for endless mix-and-matching possibilities. Both pieces are designed to be breathable, making them perfect for the upcoming spring season. Oh, and as an always-welcomed bonus, the pants feature two spacious pockets. Thanks to an on-site coupon, you can snag this one-and-done outfit for a mere $40.

LouKeith Tennis Skort

Having comfortable, versatile staples is a prerequisite for any good travel wardrobe, regardless of your trip. And to me, no clothing item is more of a multitasker than the humble skort. With a design as sleek as this Amazon best-selling one , skorts can be styled with virtually anything: a blouse and some boots for a night out, a pair of sneakers and a sweatshirt for travel days, or a tank top and sporty tennis shoes for outdoor activities. On sale for $27 and available in sizes XS-3XL and in 32 different colorways, I’m confident that there’s a skort for everyone.
