8 DAY RECHARGE & RENEW YOGA RETREAT IN GOCEK, TURKEY

I am so happy to announce that I will be running another 8 days yoga retreat in Gocek, on 9th-16th May 2020. I invite you to reconnect yourself with inner and outer nature on a nourishing week long Yoga retreat set in the beautiful Mediterranean area of southern Turkey. I can guarantee you will ‘get stronger, feel refreshed and rejuvenated, and deeply relaxed’ through my programme of dynamic and relaxing yoga, pranayama, and meditation sessions as well as alignment, core and arm strength workshops.. I host delicious Turkish meals, a beautiful day trip on the Turkish coastal cruise styled yacht, hiking on the beautiful hills, visiting a traditional Turkish local market so on. :))

LOCATION

Huzur Valley is 650 m above sea level, 9 km inland and 15 minutes from the iconic yachting resort of Göcek in southwest Turkey. It is a sublimely peaceful and secure environment.

FACILITIES

The natural unspoilt environment and the peace of the valley has twelve yurts that accommodate people in single, twin, double and triple accommodation. Yurt actually means ‘home’ in Turkish and is a traditional Turkic structure, still home to many people in Mongolia, Turkmenistan, Kirgizistan and other Turkic republics. All the yurts are comfortable and well appointed with wooden floors, doors, electricity and proper beds. They adjust to the ambient temperature, so are cool at night so you can sleep in comfort. You can see the stars from your bed through the roof wheel known as ‘the eye of heaven’. There are also four safari tents, with a similar level of comfort, only smaller which can be used for extra single accommodation.

Bathroom and shower facilities are shared, and are conveniently placed around the site. They are kept immaculately clean and hot water is supplied by solar power.

The natural Stone swimming pool is the perfect place to relax, as is the ‘köşk’ a traditional Turkish treehouse which is the perfect spot for a siesta. There is also a bar where you can help yourself to a drink (honesty system) or take a book from the library to read in a hammock under an olive tree. Huzur Valley`s setting brings a deep connection with the natural world that immeasurably enhances the benefits of yoga practice. The spacious yoga shala is located in the middle of the yurts, and is fully equipped with mats, belts, blocks, bolsters and blankets. There is another tranquil open air room with bamboo-glazed surrounds for those who want to order a massage.

Location

The retreat and the village are well known to all experienced drivers, and there’s always Google Map, but just in case, from Dalaman take the Fethiye road, pass Göcek on the dual carriageway and continue for a couple of kilometres to the Inlice turning. Make a U-turn here and head back towards Göcek, climbing the hill , turn sharp right onto the Gökçeovacık road. Follow the road all the way up to the village for several km’s, where you turn first right following the Huzur Valley sign, for another couple of km’s.
