Make room on the yoga mat – wellness retreats are catering to families with kids tgamtravel

The Haupert family discover their inner Ecuadorian cowboy on an excursion in Ecuador. Jake Haupert is a co-founder of the Transformational Travel Council and is launching a new line of family trips.Even those of us who’ve never done a downward dog or tried a kale smoothie have dreamed of such an escape. And for years, such travel has been the ultimate excuse for a getaway without the kids. But those days may be coming to an end.

The first trips – to Sri Lanka – start this summer, and will even be led by a family: Explorer X travel mentor Sarah Burns, her husband and their two kids under the age of 8. Mindfulness travel doesn't have to involve a specialty program, but new wellness trips are allowing kids to join their parents in an appreciation of zen.“It’s the difference between eating sushi here versus eating sushi in Japan,” says Simon Ma, wellness brand manager at G Adventures.The tour company’s Wellness Travel offerings were a natural progression of their philosophy of cultural connections, he says.

While I’ve never packed my teens off to a yoga studio, we have experimented with massage treatments, forest bathing and other calming wellness experiences.
