Yoga: it’s a practice that has such a positive impact on your life, on so many levels. And perhaps, vacation means full flexibility of your schedule to take advantage of extra time on the mat. You may venture to Ambergris Caye at one point or another on your Belize vacation, and you don’t need to stop your yoga practice either. With more and more wellness packages popping up in resorts and healthy cafes along the way, the Belize island is increasingly catering to those seeking total relaxation and a connection to something deeper. If yoga is one of the reasons you want to visit Belize, below are five places to try a yoga class and flow while visiting San Pedro, Ambergris Caye.
