yoga holidays

As I prepare for the up coming yoga retreat at Samye Ling (fully booked), my mind does drift to the idea of yoga and sunshine. Samye ling is definitely a most conducive space for yoga and the Indian optionsofferring a similar culture are really a bit far for most of us in terms of time and money. So the option of a yoga holiday and therefore a week appears attractive.

There are many companies and teachers that already run these and I am considering the possibility myself. Below are links to a few we could consider. I would be interested in your comments on the idea?, would you go as advertised?, would you prefer to go with a teacher you already know?, preferred location? etc
