Sunday, September 15, with Monica Voss, 11:30am ET, RSVP
on Zoom
I visited Turkiye in 1973 and felt so welcome, I stayed for 6 months. I have been back since, but not to the south-west, an area full of memories of authentic hospitality, curious open-hearted, generous people, delicious food and unspoilt forests and seashore. Join me on a sentimental return to a kind, ancient place.
On our trip to Turkiye, we will be visiting the small town of Dalyan, a busy tourist destination for many years catering to international travellers, primarily those from the UK. Dalyan is situated on a river connecting a large lake to the Mediterranean Sea. Government and private boats are available to take us on a variety of very enjoyable excursions, such as the carefully preserved Iztuzu beach, an important turtle sanctuary; Kaunos, a small Greek archeological site; thermal mud baths, swimming in the sea and a weekly market.
The Arp Hotel, where we’ll stay and practise, is not luxury accommodation nor a yoga retreat centre. It’s a small, clean, modern, 15-room family-run hotel with air-conditioning offering breakfast, a pool and space for our twice daily sessions. (https://en.arpdalyan.com)
“Who could not love an early morning class with Monica with a view across a river and Lycian tombs in the cliffs above? Wonderful teaching, wonderful setting.” Charlotte
“The Yoga Retreat in Turkey last June was a fabulous trip.
I chose to begin with a few days in Istanbul – one of the most intriguing and interesting cities I have ever visited. Istanbul exudes culture, history and beauty. The sounds, smells and sights are a feast for the senses.
Then we traveled to the south west part of the country for the Yoga Retreat. The location was gorgeous and the yoga was luxuriously restorative. I loved the deep blue hues of the Mediterranean, the richness of Turkish cuisine, the friendliness of the Turkish people and the camaraderie of our yoga group.
I highly recommend this Retreat.“
