Product Description
Body & Soul Escapes by Caroline Sylge is the first book of its kind, bringing together over 450 inspiring journeys and retreats around the globe. Blending inspiring features with practical first hand experience, the book covers family-run guesthouses, villas and hotels for do-it-yourself retreats in rejuvenating locations; yoga, pilates, tai chi, dance, art & adventure holidays; meditation retreats and ashrams; purpose-built holistic venues offering personal development courses; life coaching weeks; ayurveda and detox resorts; thalassotherapy and thermal spa retreats; destination health spas and extreme fitness weeks. Body & Soul Escapes is aimed at anyone looking to de-stress and re-energise. You might be tired, bored, restless and in need of a challenge, stuck in the wrong career or relationship, or unfit and determined to change your lifestyle. You may be a yoga, tai chi or pilates enthusiast who wants to explore your practice on a deeper level, a sybarite in need of a good pampering, a spiritual warrior wanting to get back to basics, or a stress addict who has forgotten how to eat, sleep and breathe properly. There are venues and holidays to suit every temperament, life stage and budget - hang out at an alternative retreat in France or treat yourself to a chic bikini boot camp in Mexico; get back to basics in a jungle ayurveda retreat in Sri Lanka or express yourself on an artistic retreat in New Zealand; practise yoga on an African safari, cycle alongside monks in Buddhist Laos, or learn to meditate on a hillside in Australia.

5.0 out of 5 stars best retreat and spa book on the market!, 22 May 2007
By Rebecca Andrist "jiva retreats" (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is wonderful. Caroline Sylge's guide is a must for anyone wanting to get more info on a wide array of spas, healing retreats and yoga centres worldwide. The entries range from well-known 5 star resorts to lesser-known hideaways that you would never find out about without this guide. Written with thorough research and fantastic photos, I can highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, informative, irresistible...., 15 Jun 2007
By J. Wilson (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For anyone who needs a break, or wants to make a more longterm shift in their lives, this is the book. Easy, stylish prose; attractive, reader-friendly design; jampacked with info but not at all overwhelming; lovely paper and printing - Caroline Sylge and her publishers have done a brilliant job. I will shortly be making my first escape booking, and I think there will be many more. I recommend this book to anyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding book to engender a desire for self discovery, 24 May 2007
By Peter J. Mayes (West Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being a coach on one of the featured retreats I thought I had best review the book to see who and what is in the marketplace.

WOW

I hadn't expected quite so much relevant information surrounding the 'concept' of escapes; this really is an excellent reference work for anyone with even the slightest incling to do someting about their 'body & soul'. I went through every page and picked up some really good pointers for my own continuing personal development. I also now have the desire to try some of the other types of escapes; as has been said it is quite an inspiring book.

Well done Caroline.
