Sedona celebrates Day of the Cowboy

When taking a trip to Arizona to visit the Dahn Yoga center in Sedona, travelers may want to add a little excitement into their meditative journey. This summer, the National Day of the Cowboy takes over the city's uptown district for a day of music, games and sporting events.

After doing one's breathing exercises for the day, visitors can watch the lively parade making its way down Jordan Road. Following the procession, there will be plenty of sidewalk entertainment, live performances of traditional western music, art exhibitions, craft demonstrations and much more.

The Sedona Main Street Program has been putting on this annual event since 2005, when President Bush designated the fourth Saturday of July as the Day of the Cowboy. This figure is celebrated because of his character and values – "honesty, integrity, courage, compassion, respect, patriotism and a strong work ethic," according to the organizer's website.

Travelers can complement the relaxing elements of their Arizona vacation with a day of fun on July 23 when they head to uptown Sedona.

The Perhentian Islands offer peace and relaxation

There's nothing that helps along a yoga session like being surrounded by some of the most beautiful natural sights in the world. Those who visit the Perhentian Islands can practice their meditation techniques along the beach during their Malaysian holiday.

Spanning 10 nautical miles near the Thai border, the islands are located in the northeastern region of Malaysia in the state of Terengganu. The area consists of two gorgeous islands – Perhntian Besar and Kecil (meaning "big" and "small"), with the latter being the more isolated and remote destination, perfect for those who want a quiet, warm-weather getaway.

The best time to visit is March through October – as resorts are typically closed outside of this time frame anyway because the waters are not ideal for swimming due to more dangerous waves.

The islands can only be accessed via speed boat, ferry or slow boat from the Kuala Besut ferry terminal, with the lack of cars on the islands providing a peaceful atmosphere for those who are working on their spiritual journey.

As for activities in the area, scuba diving, snorkeling, jungle trekking and volunteering at the Turtle Conservation center are among the most popular.

The Ngorongoro Crater is a remarkable sight

Keeping an open mind and welcoming educational experiences into one's life is key to personal development, as one cannot grow mentally without accepting and exploring the world around them. One intriguing place to visit is the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, which is an incredible natural landscape that is also one of the most famous prehistoric anthropological attractions on earth.

Visit Australia’s most iconic site – Uluru

Out of the many UNESCO World Heritage Sites on earth, those who are vacationing in Australia will find Uluru to be one of the most interesting. It is an iconic feature of the Outback and regardless of how disciplined one is with their breathing exercises, it is sure to take their breath away.

Uluru is an enormous monolith, or a single stone, located in the Australian Red Center. The orange landscape surrounding the attraction helps it stand out even more, and its prominence and cultural significance are why it was recognized by UNESCO in 1987.

More than 400,000 people visit Uluru – formerly known as Ayers Rock – each year. It spans an area of more than 3 and ⅓ square miles and stands approximately 1,110 feet above the plain; however, ground level visitors only see a fraction of the red rock. Uluru is rooted about 1.5 miles into the earth.

Those who visit the area at sunset will see a spectacular tranformation of the monolith, as it seems to change colors in the evening – morphing from its brick-like terra cotta shade to a deep violet in the twilight.

Practice Dahn Yoga on the beaches of Turks and Caicos

One of the benefits of Dahn Yoga is that it allows people to connect with their inner being, ultimately joining the body and soul. While this is a great way to deal with stress, it helps to practice the exercise in an open environment, particularly one that is also quite serene.

That's why the beach is the perfect place to tap into one's psyche, and what better coastline than Turks and Caicos, which is only 550 miles South of Florida. Turks and Caicos is made up for 40 islands, which allows individuals to try meditating at different beaches, searching until they've found the perfect spot.

As there are only 30,000 inhabitants in the island nation, it's easy to be by oneself as they work to reach into their mindset. The island colony is widely regarded for having some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, which is why it makes for a perfect backdrop when getting back in touch with oneself. After all, nothing brings a calming feel quite like the soft crashes of the waves.
