Meditation & Yoga Retreats in Georgia

Georgia's small but growing retreat scene reflects the country's position between Europe and Asia. Yoga retreats run in Kakheti wine country, the Greater Caucasus (Kazbegi, Svaneti), and on the Black Sea coast around Batumi. The Orthodox monastic tradition is alive at Davit Gareja and other ancient cave monasteries. Georgian, Russian, and increasingly English are used at international-facing centers. Best seasons run May–October. Most Western passports get visa-free entry for up to a year. Cost: $400–$1,200 for a week — Georgia is among the cheapest retreat destinations in Eurasia.
