With increasing stress in the work place and financial strains at home, more and more people are looking to yoga as a way of balancing the pressures of modern life. What better way to relieve these pressures than to take a yoga holiday?

Many yoga practitioners are now taking yoga holidays abroad in great locations. You arrange your own flights; you get picked up from the airport and are taken to your accommodation for the week. Relax, unwind and practice yoga in the sun. For many people this is the ideal holiday. Unfortunately, it is also a ‘holiday nightmare' just waiting to happen.

According to Aled Evans of Prana Holidays, "Many people are booking these holidays, expecting that they will receive the same financial protection as if they booked with a ‘mainstream' holiday company. The reality is that the vast majority of these holidays offer no protection at all if the booking agent, yoga teacher or holiday venue were to go bust. If this was to happen then there is no way of getting your money back. This problem is only going to get worse as the effects of the credit crunch and economic recession begin to bite.”

"Since starting Prana Holidays, I have been amazed at the complete lack of protection on offer to clients on this type of holiday. Through our ATOL and total payment protection (topp) insurance, everyone travelling with Prana Holidays can rest assured their money is safe” Evans said.

With the collapse of so many airlines already this year, including major carriers like XL and Zoom, this is an issue that should be at the forefront of anyone considering booking a yoga holiday.
