What are the cheapest destinations to attend a yoga retreat?
India offers some of the cheapest yoga retreats. So do Thailand. You can also find very affordable yoga retreats in Nepal, though there aren’t as many as these other Asian countries.
Morocco is another place where you can find affordable yoga retreats.
Then there is Ecuador in South America and Portugal in Europe.
What is usually included in the price?
The things that are usually included in the price are:
✅ The accommodation that you have chosen
✅ The things that are there on the itinerary like yoga and meditation sessions, cultural sessions
✅ Food – three meals of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and if there is any tea or coffee
✅ Any excursions that are part of the itinerary
✅ Internet access
✅ Sometimes a complimentary massage session or healing session
Now that we know how much yoga retreats cost and what is usually included in the price, it leads us to wonder if spending on yoga retreats is really worth it.
Are yoga retreats worth the price?
To say that yoga retreats are not worth the price would not be a right statement.
Like everything else, it is important to make sure that you know what you are looking for and ticking the important boxes.
Because yoga retreats come in all kinds, doing some research on the teachers, reading reviews of previous participants, and assessing if the retreat offers what you want to learn and develop in yourself are good places to start.
That said, yoga retreats do offer the kind of time, attention, and dedicated focus that any yoga practitioner can immensely benefit from.
They are incredibly healing, great for reducing stress, really helpful if you want to detox, and very supportive if you want to build and deepen your yoga practice.

What other costs should you think about apart from the retreat fee?
The other costs that you need to factor in, other than the retreat fee, are:
- Airfare
- Airport transfers
- Cost of visa and if you need to buy travel insurance or health insurance
- Your personal expenses for food, shopping, laundry service, or sight-seeing
- Any extra services you might want to avail like massages or treatments
Are there FREE yoga retreats?
While there are free meditation retreats, there really aren’t any free yoga retreats.
However, there are some that work on donations.
