With Vietnamese increasingly turning to yoga to relieve stress, improve focus, and drive the myriad of health benefits for which the 5,000-year-old practice is famed, digital travel platform Agoda has gotten its om on and shares five great destinations for travelers to recharge all seven chakras.
Ranging from clifftop classes to hilltop hatha to seaside sessions, these resorts all promise a yoga experience that their guests will never forget:
Yen Tu’s breathtaking Legacy resort, located in “the cradle
of Vietnamese Buddhist Culture”, Yen Tu Mountain, in the country’s north, has
made yoga and wellness a way of life for its guests. With an ever-changing
schedule, guests to the five-star property can start their day with a serene 7
am series, and then throughout the day participate in a series of various yoga,
meditation, or wellness classes. These range from Basu Yoga to Mandala Drawing
sessions – but check for the schedule in advance – the property updates it
monthly to ensure that yoga lovers always have a reason to come back and find
something new with every visit.
Seclusion and serenity are the order of the day at Six
