A yoga hostel is a hostel that runs its own yoga classes, often free or cheap, so you can stretch, sleep and meet people in one place. Our favourites are The Salty Yoga & Surf Retreat in Cascais for yoga and surf, Casa Zen in Costa Rica for daily classes by the beach, and Loft HI Eco Hostel in Reykjavik for free sessions. We checked every hostel below on Hostelworld in November 2026.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a practised \u201cYogi\u201d, or your Eagle pose looks more like a miserable owl, taking a yoga class is a great way to meet other travellers. What better way to bond than attempting to balance in your tree pose in the actual jungle or perfecting your miserable owl on a beach at sunset? Besides the community vibe of yoga, its physical benefits can help counteract annoying traveller aches and relentless fatigue from those long-ass journeys. It\u2019s been proven to improve sleep and is an absolute godsend for circulation if you\u2019ve been cooped up on the road. Yoga also soothes hangovers by helping to detox the liver (hair of the downward dog anyone?!). Here are eight yoga hostels to help you get high as a kite on those endorphins…<\/p>\n

1. The Salty Yoga & Surf Retreat, Cascais, Portugal<\/h2>\n

\"Yoga<\/p>\n

Begin your journey to enlightenment on the golden bays of Cascais. The Salty (once the Salty Pelican) is run by three backpackers who have poured their heart and soul into creating an easy-going, beachy retreat where you can leave your cares at the door. There\u2019s yoga for all levels with sunrise Yang Yoga and afternoon Yin Yoga taught every day by the hostel\u2019s in-house instructor. You can even switch it up and get your sun-kissed beach bums on a surfboard by signing up for their lessons at the beach (more surf hostels<\/a> here). But make sure you return for the BBQ feast on the hostel patio after sundown!
