On the Search for Wellbeing: Giving up one’s Reference Points to Find Oneself 
Based on a multi-site anthropological survey (France, Switzerland and India) and mixing semi-directive interviews and participant observation, this article immerses in the universe of yoga practitioners who go on “yoga holidays” or to ashrams. Yoga tourism is investigated starting from the motivations to expose some characteristics in terms of location, temporality, and activities, and then looks at the consequences of these journeys on life paths. Moving from the macro-social to the micro-social scale, ashram retreats often mark a passage to become fully engaged in a practice, or even change one’s life.
