Description
Armenia is an ideal destination for a journey that offers a change of pace, more time in nature and the opportunity to combine exploring the country with regular yoga practice. Mountains, fresh air, relatively short distances between regions and a variety of peaceful natural settings make it possible for every day of the journey to feel different.
Our Yoga Tour in Armenia combines travel around the country with regular yoga sessions, walks and outdoor activities. Practices can take place in the mountains, by lakes, in the forests of Dilijan or on the grounds of countryside hotels — with locations selected according to the itinerary, season and experience level of the group.
Yoga becomes part of the journey rather than its only purpose. Between practices, the program can include easy hiking, 4×4 tours, horseback riding, Armenian cuisine, visits to small farms and plenty of time surrounded by nature.
Yoga Tour in Armenia is an opportunity to combine travel, movement and relaxation while discovering the country from a completely different perspective.
Yoga Tour for Your Group
We organize yoga tours in Armenia for yoga teachers, studios and private groups. We can arrange the itinerary, hotels and suitable locations for yoga practice, as well as transportation, meals, sightseeing and additional outdoor activities.
The duration and program can be tailored to the format and preferences of the group. A yoga teacher can travel with their own group, or, upon request, we can arrange yoga sessions with an instructor in Armenia.
