Check out these fun and affordable retreats.)

She might be the wife of a famous quarterback, but Gisele knows how to get in the zone, too. Can we score an invite to the family yoga sesh next time?

6. @gypsetgoddess
The living looks pretty easy (and peaceful!) in this Hawaii state park. Caitlin Turner makes hand-to-big toe pose look pretty easy, too!
7. @yogabeyond
We can’t decide what’s more breathtaking — this acroyoga duo or the stunning temple in Jeju Islands, South Korea.
8. @patrickbeach
Handstands go international. We wouldn’t mind tagging along in his suitcase for inversions followed by Nutella crepes.
9. @rei
More picturesque than your standard yoga studio, no? Arches National Park looks like the perfect spot for some Warrior I.
10. @sandrainsoha
Vacation is meant for turning your life upside down. Here, this dedicated yogi gets vertical in Joshua Tree, California.
11. @yogaracheal
It’s acroyoga, ninja-style. These ladies beat the heat with their gravity-defying moves by the sea.
12. @jcroket
Slippery rocks pose no challenge for this Seattle-based yogi. Thinking about the calming whoosh of that waterfall is making us more relaxed already.
13. @robinmartinyoga
Yoga goals: Forearm wheel, patterned leggings, and a reflection pool full of intention.
14. @tjhark
Jarkarta, Indonesia isn’t a bad place for a seated side stretch. Take us with you next time, Taylor Hark?
15. @luliadib
Maybe you’ve tried a partner exercise or two. But have you practiced acroyoga with sweeping views of Brazil next to you? Didn’t think so.
16. @just_one_yogini
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone,” writes Carrie Torres, a daredevil yoga enthusiast who snapped this pic in Indonesia. Holy wheel, we hope that current wasn’t too strong!
17. @beccapace
Our very own Daily Burn 365 trainer Becca Pace strikes a pose on the sands of Puerto Rico. Sunset game, won.
18. @yoga_girl
So maybe you can’t jet off to your own private island. But if you’ve got a few inches of fresh pow in your ‘hood, you can still do your om thing in the great outdoors with…. snowga! (Yup, that’s snow yoga.)
19. @keonihudoba
Will ride for strength. Trainer and Cyc Fitness instructor Keoni Hudoba channels it all into this dancer’s pose in his native Hawaii.

A tree grows in… Australia! This former pole vaulter-turned fitness all-star soaks up the sun in Perth. Looking at this ‘gram, we can almost hear the calming waves of the ocean.

Kathryn Budig is flying as high as the clouds in this snap. Hope her passport’s tucked away safely…

No sleep ’til Brooklyn. For those that dream of urban escapes, feast your eyes on this talented duo practicing right under the Brooklyn Bridge.

25. @tarastiles
What, you don’t do yoga on volcanic rock? Tara Stiles posted this “throwback” to a Hawaii vacation, and let’s just say she’s a tough act to follow. Clear skies, full hearts, can’t lose.
