Best New Trend: Digital Detox (The Sunny Side) Via Yoga’s “Unplug and Unwind”
Via Yoga’s six-night “Unplug and Unwind” retreat will leave you completely recharged this winter. This isn’t some hippie-dippy, sleep-on-the-ground-in-a-tent situation. You’ll stay in a sprawling oceanfront villa in Mexico or Costa Rica (depending on your preference), and spend your week surfing and doing yoga on the beach. “People used to be able to leave work and the stress of everyday life at home, but that all changed a few years ago,” says Via Yoga owner Suzie Cavassa. “I was seeing guests tag us on Twitter during retreats. I wanted everyone to relax, so we made the digital detox option available for every destination.” The company gives guests a good incentive to detox: It offers guests a 15 percent discount for giving up electronics. And you'll find that being cut off from your digital devices is much more manageable when you’re surrounded by sand and stunning ocean views. Packages range from $1895 - $3795; www.viayoga.com
