Halong Bay is definitely an ideal place for yoga retreat and meditation!
Fresh and Tranquil are those first impressions that the Bay bring to you. Imagine yourself in the early morning of the bay, waking up after a comfortable and cozy night on a cruise and start doing your practice in the super fresh atmosphere. Just you and the wild, completely blended yourself with Mother Nature. Then comes the sounds of birds living in some karst and limestone around, and first sunshine of the day… It is truly worth getting out of your daily routine and trying something new. It will bring you to a higher level of yoga retreat, right there, you will deepen your breath and further your practice. And of course, more and more yoga poses and harder positions are made easier in a right place.

Halong Bay is not only a perfect place for yoga exercises, it’s also a place for some meditation and Taichi lover. A huge and beautiful place will challenge you to think about your body in a new way. Physical. Feeling. Free. A new perspective will take you out of your daily comfort zone and change the way you see your mind, body, breath, and practice. You will feel yourself so tiny in comparison to the wild nature, and then immerse it in the tranquility of thousands karst and limestone.
