The Best Yoga Studios In Cusco

What better place to practice yoga or join a retreat than in Cusco, the holy city of the Incas that was once considered the center of the universe? There are yoga studios all over the city and within the Sacred Valley that not only include yoga, but also reiki, massage, and other holistic therapies. Cusco has gained a reputation as the spiritual center of Peru and offers classes for every type of yoga practitioner. Here is a guide to the best yoga studios the city has to offer.
