Which levels of yoga are catered for?
We cater for all levels of student: previous Yoga Travel clients range
from those with no experience whatsoever to those with over 20 years
experience. While our yoga holidays are just that - a holiday - you
are always offered something to learn: whether it be more advanced
options for postures, new breathing techniques or perhaps an introduction
to meditation.
I've never done Yoga before. How will
I keep up?
Yoga is a practice of self-discovery, not a competition. The classes
are run with modifications for beginners and challenges for more advanced
students. The atmosphere is light and fun not overly serious.
How do I get picked up from the airport?
Let us know your flight details and
we'll arrange for you to be met at the arrivals gate.
Do I need to bring a yoga mat?
Yes, although soft carpets are cheaply available to buy if you like.
How much money will I need?
You'll need some extra money to cover meals not included in the tour
price, other sightseeing, shopping, souvenirs and optional extras.
A rough guide to the costs of optional extras are found in our brochures.

How many people will be on the trip?
We have a maximum of 17 people per trip. Everyone who enjoys travel
will appreciate the great feelings of freedom and personal fulfilment
such trips inspire.
What sort of places do we stay at?
Our aim is to look for high quality places with great atmosphere;
generally three to five star hotels. We also look for locally-owned
accomodation: both the hotels we use in Dahab, for instance, are Bedouin
owned. Click here for more accomodation
info.
What is the single room option?
Most of our accomodation is in shared twin rooms. However, although
not included in the selling price of the tour, the option of paying
for a single room is available. The extra cost is £100 for Morocco
and £70 for Egypt.
What about food?
We usually arrange accommodation on the basis of bed and breakfast
or half-board, allowing you to sample the cuisine in local restaurants.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is compulsory for all bookings. Your insurance policy
document is as important as your passport and should be carried with
you on tour. Please ensure that you take your policy document (or
a copy of the actual policy document) with you, as your tour leader
will ask to see this at the start of the trip. Your documentation
must show evidence that you are the named policy-holder and that the
cover is valid for your period of travel. The documentation must also
indicate that you have cover for at least Medical Expenses and Emergency
Repatriation. Please ensure that a 24-hour contact telephone number
for your Insurance Company is stated on your documentation in case
of Emergency.
Do I need a visa?
All British passengers require a passport valid for at least six months
after your return. In Egypt the best route is to purchase a visa on
arrival - they're easily available at both Cairo and Sharm el Sheik
airport on arrival and cost around £15. In Morocco visas are
free and are readily available at Marrakech airport.
And what about vaccinations?
At the time of going to press there are no compulsory inoculation
or vaccination requirements for entry into Egypt or Morocco. However,
your GP or pharmacist will be able to tell you which vaccinations
are currently recommended by the Department of Health and you should
contact your doctor at least 8 weeks before departure. For more information
on the subject of vaccinations and protection, check out www.fitfortravel.scot.nhs.uk.
Is it safe?
Our criteria regarding international instability are simple: we follow
the UK Foreign Office's advice instantly and to the letter.The UK
Foreign & Commonwealth Travel Advice Unit issues information advice
to inform travellers about certain destinations. If you're concerned
about a destination or your safety, you can check this information
before you travel at:

What sort of environmental considerations do you
cover?
The journey from London to Cairo is over 7000 Km, during which time
0.77 tonnes of CO2 will be produced - that's the same as nearly 50
days' worth of emissions from a 1.4 litre car. Marrakech is around
two-thirds of that distance. In order to reduce the CO2 associated
with our tours, Yoga Travel will pay for the emissions of your flight
to be 'balanced out'. This involves planting trees which - over their
lifetimes - will absorb the equivalent amount of Carbon Dioxide produced
by your flight. For each passenger we plant one tree; for more information
visit www.futureforests.com.
