Taiwan Retreat 2026
Retreat Details
For the third year we are running our retreat in Taiwan in April 2026. Come and experience the surprise that Taiwan has to offer and immerse yourself in a combination of yoga and amazing local culture.
Our retreat is being organised together with the Light of Yoga studio in Taipei Taiwan. The studio is run by Tony who was trained by Simon and has opened the first Iyengar yoga centre in Taiwan to continue on the work in this method. We are also joined by Tonys husband Simon who is a knowledgable, fun tour guide with lots of local knowledge and fun facts at hand.
In our first retreat we explored the mountains, in our second retreat we experienced the south china sea, and this year we will explore the coastal area of south east Taiwan, for surfing and other beach activities.
We are currently finalising the itinerary for the retreat and the section below provides the details we can share with you now.
