Take the opportunity to explore the ruins scattered around the islands with Marija - your resident archaeologist and yoga teacher. While enjoying all the fun of a sailing tour.
We will spend seven days gliding through the turquoise waters, breathing in the smell of the sea and pine trees, and enjoying the benefits of daily yoga and all the perks of a sailing tour around Turkey.
ABOUT THE RETREAT
Start and finish your days with an hour long yoga practice on the sunny deck of our gulet!
In the morning hatha yoga classes, focusing on proper alignment and taught with a specific topic in mind like backbending, breath awareness, balancing, etc. Organized as a small workshop to deepen your understanding of different aspects of asana practice. The sessions are suitable for experienced yogis and beginners - the former will deepen their practice further and discover new ways in which they can approach it, while the latter will have the opportunity to learn the basics and have a kick start on their yogic journey.
In the afternoon sessions a more gentle restorative practice followed by a half hour long guided meditation. Although yoga postures are taught in these classes as well, the focus is on the breath, conscious movement, deep relaxation (yoga nidra - yogic sleep) and meditation.
DAILY LIFE ON BOARD
After the morning yoga and a delectable Turkish breakfast, we start sailing for the next exciting stop, always a new bay, where you can swim, snorkel, paddle a canoe, or just enjoy the sun and the view until lunch time. After lunch, we move to a new place, where we will go for a two – three hours long hike, exploring archaeological ruins or becoming one with the unspoiled nature. The hikes will usually lead to the top of an the island incline, providing us with a great spot to admire the colors of the sunsets and the surrounding nature. Depending on the terrain and weather conditions, we might decide to have the evening yoga or meditation class on land.
In the evenings, we enjoy yet another well prepared meal on our gulet under the stars.
All the offered activities are optional. If at any moment you feel like skipping a class or a hike, you are absolutely free to do it.
