Even five days at Yogarosa Retreat in Ibiza will leave you feeling light and energised.

Many people end the holidays feeling lethargic, heavy, and, frankly, a little bit burnt out.

But getting out of an early January rut doesn't have to involve strict diets and workout plans. Instead of locking yourself to an unrealistic resolution, why not take a detoxing and relaxing holiday that you'll actually enjoy?

Europe is full of wellness and fitness retreats, active holiday options, and rejuvenating spas, that are sure to bring you back to your pre-Christmas self.
