A plethora of empty beds to choose from on a quiet deck with ocean views and full food and drink service — this was my luxurious experience on Richard's Rooftop.
It Just Got Easier to Book a Yoga Retreat

Yoga retreats are a perfect way to rejuvenate yourself while simultaneously satisfying your travel itch and desire to go somewhere new and beautiful. But if you’ve ever Googled “yoga retreat,” you probably realize there are thousands upon thousands of options, some of which might not even be legitimate.
It can be stressful sorting through all the different styles of yoga, the destinations, the teacher bios, and accommodations all to find the perfect place to go and forget about all the work it took to get you there.
Now a new company has launched that’s not only helping travelers find vetted and validated yoga teachers, but also find the most perfect trip for them. BookRetreats is the self-proclaimed “Airbnb for yoga retreats,” and its goal is “to spread yoga to the world and change the way people go on vacation.” BookRetreats is a hub for yoga teachers who want to organize retreats and the students who want to go on them.
The website functions much like Airbnb and currently offers more than 250 yoga retreats, which are handpicked by staff. It also integrates reviews from TripAdvisor (SmarterTravel’s parent company) and lets you narrow down the choices not just by destination, but also by yoga styles and food restrictions.
With a selection of yoga retreats being offered from 34 different countries, you can travel as far as Bali or find something closer to home. If you do a little digging, you’ll find each listing offers something unique: Combine your yoga sessions with a surfing lesson, enjoy a massage, or bring a partner and enjoy couples yoga.
Retreats begin as low as $95, which is an attractive deal considering it includes food and accommodation.
With so many options already at the start, I’m excited to see what new retreats BookRetreats will be able to offer in the future as it becomes more established.

I went on a 'momcation' when I realized how much I missed my alone time. Just 24 hours to myself left me feeling reenergized.
Before I became a mother, people told me I'd miss rest. I thought that was silly. I had waited my whole life to have a baby, and in my mind's eye, all I saw was us doing things like walking everywhere hand in hand, baking in the kitchen, and singing together.

I stayed at a Disney resort for a solo weekend getaway. I ate breakfast with Goofy, got a massage, and saw fireworks.
I'm a 42-year-old mother of two, and one of my favorite places to go when I need some time alone is Walt Disney World Resort. I visit the park regularly with my husband and teenagers, but there's something special to me about strolling through EPCOT's World Showcase alone or renting a pool cabana at a Disney hotel and spending the day reading. Even if I'm not inside a Disney theme park, it brings me joy to know I'm hanging out on Mickey's turf.
