Laos a New Yoga Tour Destination

Travel specialist, Inner Journey Expeditions launches the first ever Yoga Retreat in Laos held in UNESCO World Heritage town, Luang Prabang on 3rd November 2010. The retreat runs over 10 days and combines yoga, meditation, philosophy with Lao culture including textile weaving course, trekking to minority villages, elephant rides and a cooking class. Yoga classes are led by an experienced teacher from Byron Bay, Australia, a popular “mecca” for yoga.

Inner Journey Expeditions Director, Angela Kent says “Laos is the newest destination to offer Yoga tours and retreats. Holding a retreat in Laos makes perfect sense as the Lao culture is grounded in Buddhism which is reflected in some of the teaching of Yoga.” Participants do not have to have years of yoga practice, but a small amount of experience would be beneficial to make the most of this amazing experience.

Cambodia Temples and Buddhist Monastery Tour

Inner Journey Expeditions offers a unique six day Cambodia Temples and Monastery tour that combines an introduction to Buddhism and monastic life with the must see Temples of Angkor for travellers looking for a spiritual and educational experience. Travellers meet with local monks and learn about Buddhist philosophy, they wake up in a monastery to the sounds of drums and are introduced to meditation practice and daily life.

According to Director Angela Kent, “Spiritual and educational tourism is a fast growing niche in the travel industry. Some travellers are looking for more than just the major attractions and urban activities, they want to scratch below the surface of the country they are visiting and learn about the culture and traditions from an experiential level”.

Departing from Siem Reap, prices start from AUD$735 per person and includes 3 nights in Siem Reap, 1 night in a Buddhist Monastery, 1 night on a home stay on a floating village on the Tonle Sap lake, 2 day Angkor Temple pass, Buddhism and meditation course, sightseeing, local guide, most meals and transfers.
