Kasabian’s Serge Pizzorno on taking a break from the band for his solo album

After a string of hit albums and arena tours, Kasabian guitarist and songwriter Serge Pizzorno used a band break to record a solo album. It was a liberating and energising experience, he tells Craig Mclean

The Scotsman | 17 Aug 2019

The way Serge Pizzorno tells it, the road to his first solo album began 10 years ago, around the time of the release of Kasabian’s third album. West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, produced by Dan the Automator and featuring band pal Noel Fielding in the video for lead single Vlad the Impaler, was the Leicester band’s stretch for glory, a post-millennial, East Midlands take on The Rolling Stones’ Their Satanic Majesties Request.

Trying something so ambitious might have been scoffed at, but potential hubris was swamped by victory: the 2009 album went to No 1, was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and was named Best Album at the Q Awards. At the following year’s Brit Awards, Kasabian won Best Group.

But if Kasabian were large, their guitarist and chief songwriter was “larging it”. Since the release of their self-titled 2004 debut, Pizzorno had, not unusually, been an enthusiastic partier. But the achievement of West Ryder… made him reassess.

Or, as he puts it with a typically lyrical flourish, “I looked at the hundreds and thousands sprinkled on top and I thought: wipe them off, that’s nonsense. I just want to make a good ice-cream. So that album was the moment, a definite crossroads, where I thought: do I want the mad excess, the boozing and the partying? Or do I want to make records that will be around hopefully longer than I am?”

With that came a further realisation: “I just like being in the studio or on stage, and that’s it. The rest of it can come and go.”

The result – three No 1 albums and a Glastonbury Pyramid Stage headline slot later – is The S.L.P. As solo albums go, it’s both boldly executed and

neatly titled. In old-money speak, it’s the Serge LP. It’s also the definite article work of Sergio Lorenzo Pizzorno.

Recorded in his home studio in Leicestershire, The Sergery – see what he did there? – The S.L.P. is the sound of the musical brains trust of Kasabian going off on one, touching on psych-rock, Italo house, 60s Italian movie soundtracks, hip hop and, with the help of guests slowthai and Lil Simz, the best that young British rap can offer.

It’s framed by three thematically and melodically linked interludes: Meanwhile… In Genova; Meanwhile… At The Welcome Break ;and Meanwhile… In The Silent Nowhere. Songs set in, respectively, his grandfather’s home town, a motorway service station and (perhaps) the darkest recesses of his psyche began as musical passages for the uncompleted soundtrack to a film that was never made.

“But I was inspired,” the 38-year-old begins when we meet for a breakfast espresso in Islington, north London. Beanpole thin and lanky, even at this early hour Pizzorno is ready for his solo close-up. He’s dressed in fashionforward leisure wear; his hair is neatly feathered on top and sides, and cropped and dyed into leopard shading at the back.

“Those [musical] pieces could wither and sit on a hard drive,” he continues, “or I could do something with this comic-book Batman concept: ‘Meanwhile... in the Batcave’,” he says, referencing the 60s television biff-pang-pow version of The Dark Knight.

Armed with a beginning, a middle and an end, this prodigious multiinstrumentalist knew all he had to do was “fill in the gaps in between. And that wouldn’t take me that long, I’d really enjoy it, and it’d give me new perspective on the band.”

As of last summer, Kasabian were meant to be on a year’s break, after two years making and touring their sixth album, For Crying Out Loud. But time off doesn’t come easy to Pizzorno, even though he has a wife and two young children (six and eight) at home. So after a short summer’s break, he was straight back to work.

He knew it would be “scary in a way doing something without the protection of the gang”. But he went for it anyway, keen to find out “what it’s gonna be like, exploring new lands. And it was done really quickly, really instinctively.”

Following those instincts led him all over the shop. Nobody Else wouldn’t be out of place on a Mediterranean dancefloor. The Wu starts off like Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk, before going all pumped-up, Hall and Oatesstyle 70s soul. And across the whole, Pizzorno’s vocals – chopped up, multitracked, echoing, or just delivered remarkably sweetly – as well as his firm grasp of melody keep the whole thing together.

Not having the pressure of imagining what would work for 20,000 people in an arena or 50,000 people in a field – anthems, basically – was, he says, like “a switch going – you feel the motor slowing down.” When writing for Kasabian and teeing up their tours, “you have to consider there’s gonna be all those people in front of you, so you have to deliver the goods. And in that headspace, if I pick up the guitar, it’s violence and it’s raw, [albeit about getting to] euphoria and togetherness.

“With The S.L.P. I want to get to the same point, hit the same peak. But it’s delicate and rhythmic and a whole different approach,” he grins, the antic excitement bristling off him.

Ask how this will have an impact on the next Kasabian album, which he’s already started writing, and the reply comes swiftly and firmly: “It’s annihilation music.”

I don’t know what that means, and he’s not saying. But with this new outlet for his “mad” ideas, he says, “now I feel like I can make as near as dammit the perfect Kasabian record”.

And what does his brother-in-arms, Kasabian singer Tom Meighan, make of The S.L.P.?

“He’s been so amazing. It’s testament to the love we have for each other that he’s just been pure positive, and really happy for me to do it. And that’s huge, because that conversation was ringing around my head, telling people that I wanted to do this…

“But we were at a level, six albums in, that, without changing it somehow, all the amazing things you’ve done get overlooked.

“Five No 1 albums on the spin is massive – only a few bands have done that. Headlining Glastonbury, selling out three O2s… It’s massive, but everyone’s used to you doing them. It becomes an assumption.”

The S.L.P., then, is a necessary reset. Or, as Pizzorno puts it with a final outthere flourish, “it’s a planet now. It’s just doing its thing.”

The S.L.P. is released 30 August. Serge Pizzorno plays SWG3, Glasgow on 5 September

quotes almat

The asylum is the abode of society's broken toys. 2. Life in a mental hospital of the human world Constant rebirth in reincarnation and the wheel of samsara, Life is a bio-quantum incubator for the accelerated growth of personality, a hyper accelerated awareness for a century, which seems to have lived an eternity, in a chamber in which the gas of someone else's madness. Eternity in the asylum of the human world drives even the most reasonable ones crazy. Others evolve and transform into angels in human flesh. 3. Precious and semi-precious stones give energy that is transformed into philosophy. 4. Forgotten people Thousands and thousands of drowned souls in oblivion and enemies and friends. A mountain was formed, the top of which a man sits, on the mountain from the corpses of forgotten and erased people who made up the main content of life. 5. Loneliness of man Loneliness is the loose sands of selfishness. You are being pulled deeper into your own egoism of loneliness and it becomes more difficult to pull you out over time. You merge with reality. You get used to loneliness to such an extent that you cannot get used to someone, you are used to sleeping alone, and you cannot sleep when a representative of the opposite sex is sleeping in your bed. 6. Life is a movie take Life is a cinema industry of incriminating evidence of higher powers, constant rebirths of reincarnation are endless movie takes. In front of lies or hypocrisy, a numbering clapper announces the scene of a comic sketch of self-deception. 7. Fear is the prelude to truth. Fear is the fear of the truth. 8. Analytical thinking is the third eye 9. Marriage is like a playhouse, only suitable for a certain adulthood. 10. Vanity is infantilism in a rope, the main thing here is imagination.Author: Musin Almat Zhumabekovich

Beautiful blonde. I love and fall in love with you deeper and deeper. Super powerful dose of love and lust right up to the loss of consciousness. It's so beautiful that I have amnesia, I forgot everyone who came before you. Love is powerful and bottomless and poetically beautiful; reflexively in love from the very first day I love you humbly. Hypnotically beautiful. I bow before every part of your body. So beautiful, a whole sonnet, looking at you everyone will understand that he is a poet. The beauty of your eyes can be beautifully expressed only by the singing of angels and birds. I want to scream so hard that I love you, but I'm afraid to break my voice. The mirror is so prosaic and so enthusiastically poetically compliments the mirror and me. Every second with you is an unforgettable love lyric poem from memories. You are my aggressive burning passion, brutal lust and heavenly love. You are my only hobby. An endless rush of love tears me and my soul apart. Being without you is just a terrible torture for my soul. There are melodies in me singing about you. I'm just a music lover of love for your beauty. I love you to the point of shivering. Your beauty immerses this reality in the sentiments of true love. Violent animal love feelings are so strong that it tears the heart to shreds. You are my love weakness, spiritual sweetness for my eyes. I only crave you aggressively, in my desires I call only you. Your beauty is a powerful aphrodosiac. You are the perfect sculpture of true divine beauty. You are synonymous with idealism. You are my exalted idol. You are just ultra heat, over lust. An endless number of likes and reposts gives my heart. In dreams and in reality and in dreams, I see only you. My heart suffers and howls only for you alone. Nothing can be better imagined than you, you are too divine.Author: Musin Almat Zhumabekovich

My lovely blonde. My love and delight for you is too natural. I feel a silent obedience to you from endless love for you. So beautiful, well, just simply the highest art. You are insidiously seductive. You plunge me into oblivion, I forget about everyone and see only you. You are my hot attraction. And healing from depression. Your beauty is an endless delight for my eyes and imagination. Your hot posters and erotic videos are everywhere in my mind. I am literally imbued with pleasure from your beauty with anxious expectation of you. Your presence is simply pleasure. You are the real divine good of the universe. You are a continuous love-erotic, multi-orgasmic, pulsating ecstasy. Love euphoria of sincere feelings. The highest notes of soaring love, you are so beautiful, it's just an obscene delight. Love catharsis of sweet sweet aesthetics of your refined beauty.Author: Musin Almat Zhumabekovich

Time and the subconscious Time is a quantum, psychological trap of our subconsciousness in which the script of our life is built, our fate is programmed by our subconscious. 2. The sand aesthetics of our mind The wind of inevitability draws memories in the sand and falls asleep with new waves of stories. And the way he does it is the whole art of the philosophy of awareness. The sand aesthetics that our mind draws is washed away by oblivion. And this shows that the mind has no values, because everything undergoes oblivion disappears into oblivion and everything is immersed in newness. 3. Rock music Rock is a high tension of adrenaline in the strings of a rock guitar, it lives and bleeds and the soul soars into the sky, melodies passing from darkness to light. Inferno of blazing anger in the grinding of metal, burns everything around. 4. Insanity is the sweet lie of our minds compared to the truth of sanity. 5. The brain is bleeding from awareness in the inner bio-quantum chamber, in which the organism of the personality is grown, which believes that it has lived for eternity. 6. Dreams are an illusory projection of the deepening of the paradoxical space in life, where the wings of imagination are constrained by the fear of submission both in reality and in a dream. 7. Cunning is poverty of the mind. 8. Dreams are vile jokes of our minds, they are comical self-hatred. Symbolic, philosophical allegories expressed in bright colors of self-irony.9. The asylum is the abode of society's broken toys.Author: Musin Almat Zhumabekovich

Hello Supercult West! This is Supercult South Bad Movie Professor Cameron Coker (BS in “David Wascavage” with a minor in “Awesome Death Scenes”) and I’m reaching out to you from across the country to help hype tonight’s screening of Suburban Sasquatch!

youtube

You’ve heard of B-movies, right? It’s the term we use for low-budget commercial movies that aren’t arthouse films. Up until the 1960s B-films were intended for distribution as the less-publicized bottom half of a double feature, similar to B-sides for recorded music. That’s not to say that B-movies were necessarily bad, just that they were expected to be more niche. Lots of genre films, westerns, monster films, horror films, and sci-fi films, were B-movie staples. The Blob (1958), The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), most early John Wayne films, and almost every Roger Corman film could be classified as a B-Movie. The tradition of these campy, low-budget films can be seen in classic monster films like Tremors, grindhouse films like Machete, and sci-fi send ups like Mars Attacks!

“Uburban Asquatch”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzejqYRtmdY

We got him! I think! That may just be a CG net or something?

Oh no! Not the cop car .jpeg!

“Are you you saying that big foot is loose and killing people in a suburban town in Northeast America?”

“That about sums it up!”

Special effects brought to you by the Virtua Boy!

Only true hunters wear white in the forest.

Rararouaurgh!

Cryptid PUNCH!

This is not a B-Movie though. It’s not even a C-movie. It’s a Z-movie. A film with so little budget, such a small reservoir of quality that it’s difficult to even classify it above a home video. Even Ed Wood would’ve upchucked wood. If Ed could Ed Wood would upchuck wood if Ed Would could see Suburban Sasquatch. That sounded better in my head, but whatever.

youtube

Suburban Sasquatch is the creation of Dave Wascavage, a B-film enthusiast turned independent filmmaker. His first film Fungicide (2002) featured killer mushrooms the size of, well, people wearing bed sheets. His second film, Suburban Sasquatch (2004), levels up to ‘guy in homemade gorilla suit’ levels of production value. The joke is not how small of a budget this film was operating on. We can tell that much just by scrolling through IMDB and noting that Wascavage was the writer, director, producer, actor, editor, cinematographer, composer, and basically the entire film crew. He even made all the Sasquatch noises himself, for Nic Cage’s sake. No, the joke is how much entertainment was created from that little cash.

youtube

This Sasquatch rips off a man’s arm and then beans his friend with it. He reaches down to lift a car and then in the next shot the car appears to be a superimposed clipart image of a car hovering vaguely in Sasquatche’s upraised arms. There is no deception, no half-hearted attempt to pretend that this film is greater than the sum of its parts. It revels in its campy dialogue, poor lighting, and 16-bit special effects. It’s a bad movie, people, but you get more than what you pay for. What’s even better is that it didn’t take much for Wascavage to get a distribution deal for his films and enough cult acclaim to keep making them. Wascavage’s garage-bred production studio Troubled Moon Films is still alive and kicking with 6 soon to be Supercult Classics available and two more on the way.

youtube

Wascavage was once told, “The Lord of the Rings cost maybe 185 thousand times your film, but that doesn’t mean that it’s 185 thousand times better.” Suburban Sasquatch has more heart and soul than perhaps the entire film catalog of The Asylum Films. It may be rough around the edges, and have comical filming mistakes, garbage visual effects, laugh inducing gore and practical effects, a revealing lack of extras, sets, and nighttime footage, and a frightening disregard for graphic design, but it’s also the best sasquatch film you’ll see all night! At least until the back half of this double feature anyway.

youtube

He’s out of the woods and in your neighborhood!

Supercult West is proud to present, Suburban Sasquatch!

SPOTLIGHT FILMS: 22 OF THE BEST FILMS AT THE 2019 OUTSHINE FILM FESTIVAL FORT LAUDERDALE EDITION

Photos and film synopses provided by OUTshine Film Festival

ADAM (U.S., 2019) Director: Rhys Ernst In English

It's 2006 and awkward, self-conscious Adam Freeman has just finished his junior year of high school. His cool older sister Casey (Margaret Qualley) suggests he visit her in New York for the summer. Casey has enthusiastically embraced life amidst Brooklyn's young LGBTQ+ community and invites Adam to tag along with her to queer bars, marriage equality rallies and other happenings. When Adam falls at first sight for Gillian, a smart, beautiful young woman in this new crowd, she mistakenly assumes he is trans. Flummoxed and enamored, he haplessly goes along with her assumption, resulting in an increasingly complex comedy – and tragedy – of errors he's ill-equipped to navigate.

AND THEN WE DANCED (Georgia, Sweden, France, 2019) Director: Levan Akin In Georgian, with English subtitles

Merab is a talented dancer. His burgeoning romance with stage partner Mary is thrown into disarray by the arrival of the magnetic Irakli, leading to a forbidden sexual attraction that recalls those in Moonlight and God's Own Country. Georgia is a country that only celebrated its first LGBTQ+ pride event seven years ago and its society remains conservative. Because of this, And Then We Danced has stirred controversy and many involved remain anonymous out of fear. Amid the potential for socially explosive fireworks, Swedish director of Georgian heritage Levan Akin has captured something uniquely tender and personal.

BENJAMIN (UK, 2019) Director: Simon Amstell In English

In Simon Amstell's affecting, bittersweet comedy, a rising young filmmaker is thrown into emotional turmoil by a burgeoning romance and the upcoming premiere of his second feature. It's perhaps no surprise that the imminent release of Benjamin's sophomore feature plunges him into an existential crisis. In this heightened state of insecurity, even meeting his potential dream match, young French musician Noah, doesn't soothe Benjamin's fears and self-loathing. And that's before he has to screen his film to the merciless film festival audiences. Benjamin is a low-key, intimate film, exposing the contradictions of a creative culture while perfectly balancing drama and comedy.

DEFIANT SOULS (Cuba, Switzerland, 2018) Director: Fernando Pérez and Laura Cazador In Spanish, with English subtitles

Defiant Souls is based on the true story of a woman who, disguised as a man, became the first female surgeon in Latin America. In the early 19th century, Swiss doctor Enrique Faber (Sylvie Testud at her best) travels to Cuba to search for his son, who is said to have been killed in a slave uprising. The local population is jealous of Faber's success as a surgeon and his marriage to Juana, an attractive outsider. Before long, rumors spread regarding his high-pitched voice and his gentle features, and a drama of epic proportions unfolds around one of the most scandalous cases in Cuban colonial history.

EVERYBODY CHANGES (Panama, 2019) Director: Arturo Montenegro In Spanish, with English subtitles

The Ponce Family is the perfect family. They live in the quiet, close-knit mountain town of Bambito, where everyone knows everyone and, unfortunately, everyone knows everyone's business. Frederico is the successful father, Carol the loving mother, and they have three wonderful boys. Despite appearances, perfect might not be the best way to describe the family as Frederico and Carol share a secret: Lizzie, the woman that Frederico has always wanted - no, needed - to be.

FROM ZERO TO I LOVE YOU (U.S., 2019) Director: Doug Spearman In English

Pete Logsdon is just a guy in Philadelphia whose fear of intimacy creates his history of getting involved with married men. His father and his soon-to-be step-mother are on him to settle down and find someone who's actually available. Instead, he finds a man named Jack who is fifteen years into a perfect marriage, has two beautiful children and an enviable wife, and is firmly inside the closet. Could this be the one? Featuring strong chemistry between the leads, director Doug Spearman (Noah's Arc) creates authentic characters in this highly engaging, obstacle-filled romantic comedy.

HAM: A MUSICAL MEMOIR (U.S., 2019) Director: Andrew Putschoegl In English

In this dazzlingly filmed live performance of Sam Harris' award-winning one-man musical, Harris belts out original songs and beloved ballads while playing 11 different roles to tell his own life story - from growing up gay in Oklahoma's Bible Belt to his escape for Los Angeles, where his rendition of "Over the Rainbow" on Star Search led to fame, Broadway, television, platinum records and Carnegie Hall. But after the highs and lows of a life in show business, Sam ultimately learns to ask: when is enough finally enough?

LEONARD SOLOWAY'S BROADWAY (U.S., 2019) Director: Jeff Wolk In English

Through verité documentary footage, humorous storytelling, interviews and archival film material, Leonard Soloway's Broadway captures a Broadway few ever see as told through the eyes of a legendary Broadway producer you've probably never heard of. He lives an unconventional life on his own terms and, over a 70-year span, staged over 100 shows (and counting) which generated history making headlines, over 40 Tony Awards, 62 Tony Nominations, 21 Drama Desk Awards, 29 Drama Desk nominations and 3 Pulitzer Prizes, in addition to launching the careers of famous stars known the world over.

SELL BY (U.S., 2019) Director: Mike Doyle In English

Does every relationship have an expiration date? Adam and Marklin are about to find out. Their 5-year relationship has gone from a passionate flame to a medium burn, forcing them to reconcile with each other's shortcomings all while watching their support network crumble around them. But in this mess, hope springs eternal as they all muddle their way through to try and make life work. Featuring Scott Evans, Augustus Prew, Kate Walsh, and Academy Award nominee Patricia Clarkson, Sell By asks the timeless questions… how do you know who's right for you and how do you know when to let go?

SONG LANG (Vietnam, 2018) Director: Leon Le In Vietnamese, with English subtitles

An unlikely bond develops between hunky, brooding and tough debt collector Dung and Linh Phung, a charismatic young opera singer from a struggling Cai-luong troupe (traditional Vietnamese opera). The two meet when Dung comes to forcefully collect a debt from the opera troupe, but when their paths cross again, a friendship – and then more – develops, awakening surprising, tender feelings in both men. Their story, too, soon scales operatic heights. Director Leon Le has delivered a rich drama, a smoldering relationship between two apparent opposites set against the backdrop of a gorgeous, fading art form. Set in 1980s Saigon, Song Lang is a gritty underworld noir hiding a tender, romantic heart.

STRAIGHT UP (U.S., 2019) Director: James Sweeney In English

The path to relationship bliss is often filled with self-doubt, second guessing and other methods of self-sabotage, but Todd takes this to a whole new level. After all, he is questioning his sexuality… not a good start when forging a new relationship. Todd might be gay. Rory might not care. The result is a neat, romantic-comedy drama with a twist; this is a love story without the thrill of copulation. With wit, humor and poignant moments, coupled with some of the best rapid-fire one-liners in a movie, Straight Up is a feature film about intellectual soul mates.

THE PRINCE (Chile, Argentina, Belgium, 2019) Director: Sebastián Muñoz In Spanish, with English subtitles

Chile, 1970. During a night of heavy drinking, Jaime, a lonely 20-year-old young man, stabs his best friend in what seems a crime of passion. Sentenced to prison, he meets The Stallion, an older and respected man in whom he finds protection and from whom he learns about love and loyalty. Behind bars, Jaime becomes known as The Prince. But as their relationship grows stronger, The Stallion faces the violent power struggles within the prison. The Prince is brutal, raw and cold, yet also beautiful, sincere and honest.

THE SHINY SHRIMPS (France, 2019) Director: Maxime Govare and Cédric Le Gallo In French, with English subtitles

Matthias, an Olympic swimming champion at the end of his career, makes a homophobic statement on TV. His punishment: coach the Shiny Shrimps, a very flamboyant, very bad and very LGBTQ water polo team. They have only one thing in mind: to qualify for the Gay Games in Croatia where the hottest international LGBTQ athletes will compete. It's the start of a bumpy and joyful ride. If the Bad News Bears were a water polo team, and LGBTQ, they would be The Shiny Shrimps. Faster, higher, stronger… and fabulous.

UNSETTLED: SEEKING REFUGE IN AMERICA (U.S., 2019) Director: Tom Shepard In English

A remarkable look at the untold stories of LGBTQ+ refugees and asylum seekers who have fled intense persecution from their home countries and who are resettling in the U.S. The film follows four new arrivals, each of whom have escaped potential peril in their native countries for being different. They've landed in the purported "gay mecca" of San Francisco, yet even there, building a new life in an adopted nation is a precarious undertaking. As new leadership in America continues to restrict immigrants and drastically cuts the flow of refugees and asylum seekers, Unsettled: Seeking Refuge in America humanizes a group about which few people know.

WHERE WE GO FROM HERE (U.S., 2018) Director: Anthony Meindl In English, French, with English subtitles

In Binghamton, an ESL teacher dealing with domestic abuse finds even greater violence at her school. In Orlando, two lovers drifting apart may be separated by the hate of another. In Paris, friends on an introspective night out are caught up in a brutal madness. Three acts of terror disrupt the lives of ordinary people. Will love win out over violence? With gripping performances and storylines all too familiar and frightening, Where We Go From Here is not an easy film to digest nor is it a question easily answered, but both are ultimately worth the effort.

A strong contemplative community and the island’s healthy lifestyle are among the draws that have led Ashtangis such as Nancy Gilgoff, David Williams, and Ram Dass to make their homes here. The Kahanu Garden in Hana is home to the Pi’ilanihale Heiau, the largest Heiau (shrines) in Polynesia and a place of worship dating back to the 13th century. Hawaii’s spiritual emphasis on nature makes it a destination for those seeking to feel the mana (spiritual energy) of the land.

6. Boulder, Colorado

Boulder’s vibrant mindfulness community has been growing since the 1970s when Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche—the 11th incarnation of the Trungpa Tulku—established Naropa University, a Buddhist liberal arts college, and Shambhala Mountain Center in a valley above town. While Rinpoche’s legacy has been rocked by scandal, Naropa and Shambhala remain pillars of Buddhist values and mindful practices. Senior yoga teachers Richard Freeman and Amy Ippoliti call Boulder home. Bonus: The Hanuman Festival, held each June, attracts top yoga educators and teachers such as Sreedevi Bringi and Seane Corn.

Los Angeles, California

7. Los Angeles

Paramahansa Yogananda, one of the first Indian spiritual teachers to make his home in the West, called Los Angeles “the Benares of America” (Benares is another name for the Indian city of Varanasi) when he arrived in the 1920s. After setting up the Self-Realization Fellowship’s international headquarters atop Mount Washington, he opened a clifftop compound in Encinitas and a waterfall and shrine-studded campus on Sunset Boulevard where a portion of the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi are laid to rest. Today, the Lake Shrine—with its waterfront meditation garden and gold lotus–topped temple where resident monks hold services and give lectures—remains an oasis for contemplation. LA’s robust Kundalini scene (Golden Bridge Yoga Studio, RAMA Institute in Venice) traces its roots back to 1969, when Yogi Bhajan started teaching the distinctive style on Melrose Avenue. Wanderlust headquarters in Hollywood is LA’s latest yoga hub, hosting fusion classes and workshops by wellness gurus such as Taryn Toomey and senior yoga teacher Annie Carpenter.

8. Salt Spring Centre of Yoga, British Columbia

In 1981, members of the Dharma Sara Satsang Society, a yoga community inspired by the teachings of Indian Ashtangi master and silent monk Baba Hari Dass, purchased a 69-acre patch of cedar forest and meadows on Salt Spring Island. Today, the property’s restored turn-of-the-century farmhouse is the longest-running yoga retreat center on Canada’s West Coast. Public offerings include monthly full-moon pujas (spiritual cleansings), while 10-week residential programs combine service (tending the on-site farm, preparing vegetarian meals) with asana and theory classes covering classic yoga texts.

9. Ojai, California

A bustling hub of ashrams, yoga centers, and spiritual retreats— and dubbed Shangri-La by locals (a nod to the surrounding valley’s cameo as the fictional utopia in the classic film Lost Horizon)—Ojai’s surrounding Topatopa and Sulphur mountains are what attracted Indian philosopher J. Krishnamurti in the 1920s. Today, his teachings continue via programs at the Krishnamurti Educational Center.

10. Chopra Center, Carlsbad, California

The palm-shaded Omni La Costa Resort & Spa may seem like an unlikely setting for the cutting-edge work of the Chopra Center’s Mind-Body Medical Group, but here, experts in hypnotherapy, integrative oncology, and pranic healing (a form of no-touch energy healing) combine holistic practices and Western medicine. Try one of their Perfect Health retreats where itineraries feature daily yoga and meditation, Ayurvedic meals, spa treatments, and medical consultations from Vedic educators and integrative-medicine experts.

New York City

11. New York City

New York City is home to some of Western yoga’s most notable teachers, including Eddie Stern, Genevieve Kapuler, Elena Brower, Dharma Mittra, Alison West, and Lauren Ash. “HealHaus in Brooklyn is my go-to haven for spiritual support,” says Ash, founder of mindful lifestyle brand Black Girl in Om. “The studio’s mission—to promote healing as a lifestyle—is a beautiful example of what it means to hold sustainable space and intentional presence for diverse people.” New York’s got everything from trendy new Y7 yoga—which utilizes heat, hip-hop music, and dark candle-lit rooms—to traditional Iyengar Yoga at the Iyengar Yoga Institute. And if you need a break from the city, head north 90 miles to the iconic Omega Institute—a wooded, 42-year-old health and wellness campus that sees more than 23,000 students a year.

12. Elysia Yoga Convention, Aegiali, Amorgos

Located on the island of Amorgos in Greece, the Elysia Yoga Convention is a conglomeration of yoga practitioners, enthusiasts, and wellness coaches. In ancient literature, Elysia was a divine final resting place for the souls of heroes, setting the tone for a complete mind-body yoga retreat.

13. Mountain Yoga Festival, St. Anton, Austria

This event, held in the birthplace of modern skiing, offers a heavy dose of outdoor wellness. Intimacy is part of the draw: Fewer than 300 attendees and teachers from around the world gather to fill their souls with music and movement. Alpine hikes and lectures by Jivamukti teacher Karl Straub and nutritional biochemist Florian Überall roundout the lineup.

14. Schloss Elmau, Bavaria, Germany

Since opening in 1916, this wellness and culture sanctuary in the Bavarian Alps has welcomed luminaries (author Ian McEwan, jazz musician Paolo Fresu) to its concert hall and lecture library. Here, you’ll find an annual yoga summit where Europe’s top teachers, such as Barbra Noh and Timo Wahl, lead lectures, asana, and meditation sessions against the backdrop of the snow-capped Wetterstein mountains.

15. London

London’s yoga scene stands apart from other cities’ with its emphasis on inclusivity and accessibility: Ourmala offers classes to asylum-seekers, women refugees, and survivors of trafficking; Stillpoint Yoga London (try one of their daily Mysore-style Ashtanga yoga classes held at London Bridge) helps bring the practice into local prisons; and Michael James Wong’s Boys of Yoga platform cultivates stories, videos, and tutorials to break down gender stereo-types in yoga. In addition, popular teachers like Stewart Gilchrist and Claire Missingham call London home, teaching at Triyoga and East London School of Yoga.

16. Barcelona Yoga Conference

This five-day event is one of Europe’s largest yoga festivals, attracting more than 1,200 attendees from across the globe to flow with master yogis such as Shiva Rea and Krishna Das, indulge in Thai massage, enjoy music from international performers, try acroyoga with a partner, and lose themselves in ecstatic dance.

17. Bornholm Yoga & Retreat Center, Denmark

Off the southern coast of Sweden, Bornholm is an ideal setting for three-day silent meditation retreats hosted by resident yogi Solveig Egebjerg (who studied with Sharat Aurora, the head of the Himalayan Iyengar Yoga Center) and American Diane Long (a disciple of Iyengar-focused Vanda Scaravelli). Disconnect and unwind with walking meditations along the rocky Baltic coast or workshops aimed at weaving mindfulness into your daily grind.

18. Suryalila Yoga Retreat Centre, Cadiz, Spain

The Om Dome (an igloo-shaped yoga hall) at this Andalusian retreat might be the most magnificent place to practice in all of Europe, says yoga teacher Tiffany Cruikshank. The geometric studio was designed to resemble a Nepalese temple topped with a golden stupa. Wholesome farm-to-table organic meals are another reason Cruikshank enjoys leading retreats here. Regular teacher trainings by Vidya Jacqueline Heisel, founder of vinyasa-focused Frog Lotus Yoga, and Carol Murphy, founder of Green Lotus Yoga, are other highlights.

Africa

19. Kenya

Deborah Calmeyer, the Zimbabwe-born founder of travel company Roar Africa, last year launched a new series of self-discovery retreats called Roar & Restore, incorporating TED Talk–worthy speakers (conservationist Laura Turner Seydel and world-renowned South African artist Dylan Lewis) with yoga, meditation, and safari drives. The conservation-minded Segera Retreat Center, set within 50,000 acres of protected land on the Laikipia Plateau, offers a raw-food menu and garden-shaded yoga decks developed with yogis in mind.

20. Taghazout, Morocco

Over the past two decades, a booming surf-and-yoga scene has sprung up in this sleepy fishing village five hours south of Casablanca. Take holiday with Surf Maroc (one of the area’s first surf-yoga retreat companies) for daily “creative vinyasa, powerful pranayama, laughter yoga, restorative, yin, yoga nidra, and meditation.” Between yoga sessions, surf instructors provide hands-on coaching whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned rider. For a taste of the locale, the property’s neighboring rooftop yoga studio offers public classes and a chance to mingle with the local yoga community.

21. Namibia

The country’s sublime scenery—red-sand dunes and a desolate coast riddled with shipwrecks—and commitment to conservation have made it Africa’s new safari superstar. It’s no wonder zeitgeisty yoga companies Escape to Shape and Namaste Yoga Safari are already offering retreats here. Escape to Shape founder Erica Gragg boasts “one epic experience after another: Rhinos at a drinking hole may serve as our drishti in Virabhadrasana II while waves lull us into Savasana after class on the beach.”

Central + South America

22. The Sacred Valley, Peru

Traditionally, travelers here head straight to historic sanctuary Machu Picchu—but culturally immersive retreats nestled in the heart of the Sacred Valley offer a new draw of their own. Splurge on a stay at Sol y Luna boutique hotel knowing a portion of the hotel’s profits fund an adjacent school that provides education, art, and sports for the valley’s youth—and take advantage of outdoor yoga classes. Travelers seeking a more immersive experience should consider eco-retreat Willka T’ika, which incorporates Andean traditions and Q’ero healers. Portions of retreat proceeds support childhood education in remote villages. Organic gardening, sustainable living, and acts of generosity are all woven into the fabric of Willka T’ika. For a more holistic experience in Peru, consider volunteering at Eco Truly Park in Lima. Volunteers participate in teaching yoga classes, organic gardening, and cooking.

Machu Picchu, Peru

23. El Salvador

In the early 1970s, El Salvador was a top surf destination, but the civil war took a heavy toll on residents and tourism. “Now, you see hermanos lejanos [El Salvadorans who moved to the United States and Canada] and tourism returning,” says yoga teacher Lindsay Gonzalez, who operates Balancé Yoga Studio and wellness retreats in the surf town El Tunco. An open-air yoga shala catches the ocean breeze from Balancé’s beachfront setting. “In El Trunco, days revolve around the tides, the wind, and the best surfing conditions,” Gonzalez says. Now that it has a dedicated yoga hub, this surf town just might be the next Nosara.

24. Guatemala

Travelers looking to escape the growing yogi crowds in Mexico have set their sights on the emerging yoga scene in Guatemala, where, in the Mayan village of San Marcos la Laguna, the Yoga Forest Conscious Living Retreat Center is setting the stage for responsible tourism, funding community projects such as shoreline restoration via reed planting and midwife education. Drop in for a class or embark on a personal or group retreat to study Jnana, Ashtanga, Bhakti, and Karma Yoga with their pros.

Caribbean

25. Cuba

Cuba’s dynamism reminds us that yoga is really about community. Eduardo de Jesus Pimentel Vázquez—the godfather of Cuban yoga—has trained more than 12,000 yoga practitioners through the Cuban Yoga Association, which he founded in 1990. His humble Havana studio Vidya offers a glimpse of the city’s tight-knit yoga scene. For the past three years, instructor April Puciata has hosted culturally immersive retreats at the beach-side center Mhai Yoga. Eduardo guest-teaches up to five classes during the week, and Puciata arranges visits with local artists and entrepreneurs, plus side trips to the town of Trinidad.

26. Nosara, Costa Rica

Universally considered a yoga mecca, Nosara is home to 32 retreats with serious yoga cred. Both Don Stapleton, longtime director of Kripalu, and Stephan Rechtschaffen, co-founder of the Omega Institute, set up yoga and wellness retreat centers here in the 1990s. More than 6,000 people visit Stapleton’s Nosara Yoga Institute (now Kindness Yoga) annually, known for its mile-long meditation trail and intensive teacher trainings (more than 3,500 graduates over 21 years). At Rechtschaffen’s Blue Spirit, five studios host learning vacations with the Omega Institute that include workshops on unlocking your purpose and Rechtschaffer-led lectures on finding the path to longevity. Located in a blue zone (where a large percentage of the population lives longer than average), the vivacity of Nosara is intimately intertwined with its people and practices.

27. Jungle Bay Resort & Spa, Dominica

Since opening their rain forest retreat center in 2005, yoga teacher Glenda Raphael and her husband, Sam, have been pioneers of sustainable tourism, stocking up on goods from island farmers, local fishermen, and artisans. Yoga teacher Chrissy Carter has held nine retreats here. Don’t miss Victoria Falls, Champagne Beach, and the Boiling Lake, the name given to one of the world’s few lakes that actually boils, says Carter. The resort, along with many others throughout the island, suffered damages after last year’s hurricane, making now a better time than ever to support the local Dominican economy.

Asia

28. Bali

While Bali is full of celebrated sites and crawling with soul-seekers, Ayurvedic teacher Sahara Rose prefers the lesser-known OmUnityBali, tucked away from tourist traffic in the northern village of Sudaji. At this super-sustainable eco-homestay founded by Indonesian yogi Zanzan, healing journeys and yoga packages incorporate local experiences such as temple ceremonies and visits to artisan workshops. In the jungles of Ubud, musician Michael Franti invites guest performers to enliven the asana practices at his Soulshine Bali Hotel & Yoga Retreat Oasis. Of course, the island’s biggest party happens during BaliSpirit Festival, a week-long celebration that draws big names like Shiva Rea and Tymi Howard, plus local Indonesian presenters such as Aikikdo, Made Janur, and musician Krisna Floop.

29. Dwarika’s Resort, Nepal

If replenishment is what you’re after, then Dwarika’s Resort—tucked into the hillside just 30 miles from the Tibetan border—should top your short list. After a consultation with an Ayurvedic health care provider, you will be prescribed soothing appointments on your custom itinerary: time in the respiratory-cleansing salt house, a visit with the retreat’s resident naturopath, a walk through the meditation maze, sessions in sound- and color-therapy chambers, and stargazing with an astrology master. Yoga classes offer the ultimate view—distant snow-capped mountains of the Himalayan range.

30. Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary, Bhutan

Enjoy daily yoga and acupuncture sessions at this all-inclusive retreat center in Paro, Bhutan—a historic valley town surrounded by sacred Buddhist sites. Each room has views of the Eutok Samdrupcholing goenpa monastery, where resident monks welcome guests for morning meditation. Bhutan is known for its medicinal herbs, and guests are encouraged to join spa therapists on foraging excursions in nearby hillsides.

31. Rishikesh, India

nestled along the sacred Ganges River in northern India, is a preferred jumping-off point for many teachers and travelers making the pilgrim-age to the birthplace of yoga. Hindus believe that a saint came to the river to offer penance and was forgiven by the god Vishnu. The spiritual town has an ashram for every sensibility, from super-traditional (and affordable) Phool Chatti to pricey Ananda, a luxe resort known for its Ayurvedic treatments. Each March, the city’s largest ashram, Parmarth Niketan, plays host to some of India’s most respected spiritual leaders (Pujya Swami Ramdevji and Acharya Balkrishna) during the week-long, world-famous annual International Yoga Festival. Meanwhile, the Yoga Institute in Santacruz, Mumbai, is the oldest organized yoga center in the world. The nonprofit recently celebrated its 100th birthday, and has certified more than 50,000 teachers in the past century. Today, roughly 2,000 people visit the institute daily for training, wellness services, and to pay homage to the historic site.

32. Ulpotha, Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has no shortage of stylish beachside yoga retreats, but world-class therapists and teachers—such as Parisian Alexandre Onfroy and Californian Rob Hess—make the trek inland to immerse themselves in local culture at Ulpotha. Located in a working rice village, a committee of locals take part in all decision-making, and guest fees fund a free area clinic. Eleven simple mud huts are sprinkled across 22 acres of dense forests, and monks still live in remote temples in the mountains above. There’s a dedicated yoga shala, but classes also take place beneath the branches of an ancient banyan tree.

33. Kamalaya, Koh Samui, Thailand

Teachers Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman Yee, Richard Freeman, and Mary Taylor are regular hosts at this retreat founded by John Stewart, a former monk who lived in the Himalayas for 18 years, and his wife, Karina, a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who built the seaside sanctuary around a jungle-shrouded cave that was once a spiritual retreat for Buddhist monks. Guests can book à la carte therapies and classes such as detoxification, Chi Nei Tsang, and Hatha Yoga, or multi-day packages meant to remedy modern ailments such as technology addiction.

34. Cambodia

Teacher Puravi Joshi calls Cambodia one of the most peaceful places to practice. Immerse yourself in the history and culture of Siem Reap at the Hariharalaya Yoga & Meditation Retreat, named after the Vedic capital of Cambodia. Temples dating to 800 CE surround the two-acre campus. A team of international yoga and meditation instructors lead six-day retreats with Integral Yoga, silent meditation, Dharma talks, and nourishing vegan cuisine.

Australia + New Zealand

35. Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat, Gold Coast, Australia

It’s not uncommon to see wallabies and ’roos hopping across the 500-acre grounds set high up in the ancient gum trees of the Tallebudgera Valley. Mornings focus on yin-inspired movements such as qi gong and restorative yoga, while afternoons are devoted to yang-type activities such as boxing and hiking. Three-day Life in Balance programs integrate equine healing sessions with lectures from holistic psychiatrists, and new Journey to Inner Freedom programs include workshops with emotional healing authority Brandon Bays.

36. Aro HA, New Zealand

Five-, six-, and seven-day retreats, many led by yogi and founder Damian Chaparro, focus on rejuvenating mind and body against some of New Zealand’s most breathtaking landscapes. Think sunrise yoga, kayaking excursions, and strenuous hikes on the trails of New Zealand’s Southern Alps and along the shores of sapphire-blue Lake Wakatipu. Days end with restorative yoga and nourishing, paleo-friendly cuisine.

37. Byron Bay, Australia

The quintessential beach town, Byron Bay overflows with juice bars, organic cafés, and boutique yoga studios. Byron Yoga Centre, founded in 1988 by John Ogilvie, is one of Australia’s longest-running yoga schools. Ogilvie’s signature style of Purna Yoga focuses on integrating physical postures and philosophy. Meanwhile, Byron Bay newcomer Bamboo Yoga School has already amassed a strong community thanks to its open-air bamboo “tentple” (a cross between a tent and temple) and variety of classes including yoga nidra, hatha, vinyasa, and yin.

Quote

Words, raging and screaming, fight their way through the space of my mind. I’ll not ask if you can hear them, for I know that you cannot. Why should I need to utter a single word when I know that you can see every ounce of my pain glimmering from the depths of my eyes. You say that I am an open book, and perhaps I am, but at least you know that my soul harbors no secrets. Or perhaps it does, because you may see and recognize the insane flurry of thoughts hidden behind my tears, but there are far deeper, far darker things lurking just below the horizon. How can I tell you that I wake up most days not wanting to live? How can I tell you that I look in the mirror and that I hate what I see? How can I tell you that you are my escape, when I know that you have no idea of what I’m trying to escape from? Tenuous thoughts, tremulous thoughts, they ring louder than any church bells. They dance a mad waltz, their own personal symphony urging them on to greater lengths. They laugh the demented laugh of those damned to the deepest depths of Hell. My walls go up, but where they were once strong, bricks are gone. My refuge has been destroyed. A castle wall can only be built so many times before it eventually loses its strength and begins to crumble. I can’t rebuild it; I can’t close off these gaping holes in my defenses. Once upon a time, I was able to lock myself so tightly within these walls that nothing could hurt me. Do you understand? Do you care to try to understand what I’m saying? Now, I sit huddled within my own mind, staring at these gaping holes, assailed by my thoughts. I am my own worst enemy. When you sleep peacefully beside me? My mind roils with unspoken terrors, replaying my past horrors in minute detail. When I smile and say that everything is all right, hidden words dance across my tongue, begging me to ask you questions that I haven’t the pride to ask. Am I pretty? Am I wanted? Am I intelligent? Am I useful? These questions haunt my every breath, screaming for release. I don’t ask because I have no desire to see the look in your eyes as you wonder how to answer these truthfully? Because who…what rational, sane person is going to answer those questions more than once? You would expect that being told once would suffice, but it’s not that easy. It never is that easy. Can you understand…? For you, perhaps, the world is in varying shades of gray, with nothing being outlined solidly in just black or white. For me, it is the opposite. There is no middle ground. Ever. It’s a battle to fight to see this fantastical middle ground that people talk about; that they tell me I should see the world in these varying shades of gray. They don’t exist. My life, my moods, they function on opposite ends of the scale. Either I’m blissfully happy or I’m consumed with soul-crushing despair. Words said years ago will appear unbidden in my mind, purely to remind me of what I have been and what I am. A harsh word will send me spiraling into a deep depression that I can’t escape. I throw myself into peoples’ beds and arms so that I can feel wanted. I change who I am so that people will accept me. I’m not sure that I even know who or what I am anymore. I am a chameleon, of many skins and names. I bury my sorrows in music so that I don’t worry people. I hide behind fake smiles and over-enthusiastic laughter so that no one knows the pain I’m dealing with. I lash out at people. I hurt them. I cut them out of my life like cancerous tumors to protect myself. And I spend far too many hours wondering if my life would be better with them still in it, but I can’t ask. I keep myself aloof, telling myself that I’m better without them. I take the blame far too often because it saves me from fighting with the people I care about. It doesn’t matter even if I know I’m right…I’ll still take the blame. I do inane things because I can’t control my impulses when I’m spiraling. I do things I know that are wrong to stop the paranoia from consuming me. And then I feel bad as soon as I do them. Guilt eats away at me until there’s nothing left. I stretch myself thin, to the breaking point, to help others. In some twisted fashion, it helps me because I don’t have to focus on my own problems. It pushes them into a dark corner, telling them that there are far more important matters at hand. Perhaps I shouldn’t help people the way I do. Perhaps I shouldn’t care. Maybe I’d be better off if I focused on my own personal Hell, rebuilding the walls of my asylum. I can’t, though. I don’t want anyone to ever feel the way that I do. I don’t want them to feel hurt or slighted by anyone or by life itself. No one should feel that way….except me. I know this will make no sense to you in the end. I know that when you read this, you will not have the desired reaction. Most likely, you’ll feel sorry for me. Maybe a small part of you, however, will push its way to the surface of your thought process and the words swirling through your mind will resound with the recognition of something you know. Maybe it’s only a minuscule amount, something not even worth paying attention to, but that’s all I ask. That one iota of your being tries to understand what I am and what I feel. That’s all I ask. Too long have I hidden these words and thoughts in the unfathomable reaches of my soul. Too long have I left my feelings fettered and unuttered. Too long have I sat here, explaining myself in stilted terms and phrases, only to be stared at by vacant eyes. Too long have I sat here, mute, unable to tell you why I’m crying or why I feel the way I do or why I’m furious. Please understand… It’s not that I’m never happy. Or that I don’t have good moods. Because I do. And you know that I have them. You are, more often than not, the recipient of what those moods incite. It’s just that…I need someone to understand. It’s no longer a matter of wanting someone to understand. It’s imperative, for me, to find someone who can stand with me through the storm of emotions, whether as a lover or a friend…because my defenses are low and I can’t fight my demons by myself forever. I don’t ask for you to be there all the time. I’ve no need of a babysitter. I just need…someone. Something. Anything to let me know that I’m still sane; that I can win this battle; that I can still function in this supposed world that isn’t made of just black and white extremes. I want to experience a plethora of emotions in less than a couple of seconds, without having to worry about going off the deep end. I want to be able to smile, and not have a masquerade taking place behind my eyes. I want to cry, and know that it’s not because I’m weak, but that my tears are tears of laughter and joy. I even want to be sad, but without the intense despair that’s been my constant companion for so long. Do you understand now?

Paramahansa Yogananda, one of the first Indian spiritual teachers to make his home in the West, called Los Angeles “the Benares of America” (Benares is another name for the Indian city of Varanasi) when he arrived in the 1920s. After setting up the Self-Realization Fellowship's international headquarters atop Mount Washington, he opened a clifftop compound in Encinitas and a waterfall and shrine-studded campus on Sunset Boulevard where a portion of the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi are laid to rest. Today, the Lake Shrine—with its waterfront meditation garden and gold lotus–topped temple where resident monks hold services and give lectures—remains an oasis for contemplation. LA’s robust Kundalini scene (Golden Bridge Yoga Studio, RAMA Institute in Venice) traces its roots back to 1969, when Yogi Bhajan started teaching the distinctive style on Melrose Avenue. Wanderlust headquarters in Hollywood is LA’s latest yoga hub, hosting fusion classes and workshops by wellness gurus such as Taryn Toomey and senior yoga teacher Annie Carpenter.
