This month at Travaasa, “Stop” is our theme—an important one, considering the stressful busy-ness often...

Yoga Basics
It’s funny, the first thing I often hear from people when they return from a trip, “I need a vacation from my vacation.” For those searching for a happy medium between culture, adventure, and health in their travels, Travaasa is the perfect answer.

People come to Travaasa for a relaxing vacation and wellness retreat, and that is exactly what yoga is- finding wellness in mind, body and spirit. I understand that many people are intimidated by yoga. Usually one may assume you have to be flexible in...
