Yoga retreats are everywhere these days, from pristine white beaches on the Maldives to rustic barns in the Costwolds, it seems like we can now spend a week or so indulging in vinyasa flow wherever we fancy, or however our budget dictates. I was after a week of yoga, yes, but I was also after a week of fun, travel and adventure and I happened to stumble across the perfect option. Voga. If you don't already know, Voga is a blend of flowing yoga and 'vogueing' fresh from the New York dance scene in the eighties. The result is a powerful energetic hour of practice which leaves you both stre...
