When it comes to finding the best yoga retreat centers in the world, many enthusiasts tell us that you can't beat programs that are located in Arizona. Not only do these retreats take full advantage of the state's mild climate and soaring open spaces, but they also can bring practitioners back in touch with the beauty and serenity of nature.
That's why we were surprised when a recent article published by Elevated Existence failed to include any Arizona yoga retreats in its list of the top 10 centers from around the world.
Now we understand that certain locales need to be on such lists – after all, how could you exclude lush islands like the Bahamas and New Zealand? But all in all, yoga retreats in Arizona stand head and shoulders above the rest.
Where else can you find a place that combines sun-kissed desert plains, snow-topped mountain peaks and temperate hillsides in one location?
In what other locale can you view the marvels of deep red mesas and desert rock formations that have withstood wind and weather for millions of years?
Are there any other places that converge upon nature's organic energy vortices? Absolutely not! Arizona is the place to be!
