Looking to take your vacation to new heights? Plan your next trip around healthy challenges like yoga retreats and rock climbing excursions, or simply add fitness to your holiday by taking one of our unique running routes or trying a new exercise right on the beach.
Yoga on every continent
Uniquely celebrated in each culture, yoga practice shares a common thread of discipline no matter where you look for “namaste.” Focused on concentrating the mind, evening the breath and strengthening the body, yoga calms the mind and body through restorative poses. Deepen your practice in India, where yoga began, or dig in to modern ways of appreciation in a more contemporary place like Sedona.

Exercising on the beach
When you’re looking for ultimate relaxation, there’s nothing like a trip to the beach.

Try running, surfing, or doing yoga or tai-chi in some of these hot spots around the globe. The distant horizon, glistening waves and smooth sand certainly beats working out at the gym. Here are a few destinations that are perfect for beach fitness.

Climbing
Climbing is not for the faint of heart. It’s an action-packed, risky, full-body commitment that takes its devotees all over the world in search of the highest peaks, steepest cliffs and stunning views. The word “exercise” doesn’t quite do it justice. Providing all-over toning that affects every muscle group in your body, rock climbing is a challenging workout that supersedes the monotony of other exercises that restrict its patrons to one machine or plane. Take your workout to new heights, and travel to a destination where altitude meets passion.
