Emma returns to Hazur Vadisi to offer a relaxing and sparkling week of asana, pranayama and meditation; a chance to connect to the calm and quietness within through the breath and the body. A highly respected teacher from the Isle of Wight, she has studied with David Swenson, Angela Farmer, Shiva Rea, Clive Sheridan and Nyrani to teach both Ashtanga, Sivananda and the Tantric approaches to yoga. This has evolved into an imaginative and flowing asana practice which improves strength and flexibility, whilst softening the heart. A wonderful opportunity to relax under the tuition of this vibrant yogini, this week will open body and mind.

Huzur Vadisi, which translates as 'Peaceful Valley', is set in the beautiful forested mountains along Turkey's "Turquoise" coastline.

A favourite venue for many, Huzur Vadisi is the perfect place to let go & relax into a slower rhythm of life.

Sleeping in a comfortable spacious nomadic yurt, from which you can roll back the roof to view the night stars, practising yoga in a beautiful outdoor shala, swimming in a natural stone pool and eating truly delicious vegetarian food, you cannot leave here feeling anything but refreshed, rejuvenated and deeply relaxed.

Afternoons can be spent snoozing beneath olive and fig trees, exploring the local village, visiting ancient ruins by river boat or simply laying on a beach.

With yoga twice a day, early morning meditation, fabulous food and the natural rustic comfort of Huzur Vadisi, this makes for a truly memorable holiday.

    

 

THINGS TO DO
Many people find that they do not want to go anywhere else once they have arrived at Huzur Vadisi - it is so restful! However, the local friendly village of Gocek is a lovely place to visit with a picturesque seafront and several small bars and restaurants.

For those who want to explore there are several local places of interest :

DALYAN is a small town on a reedy river estuary, about an hour from Huzur Vadisi. You can travel by river boat to visit Lycian rock tombs, the ancient ruins of Caunos, hot sulphur springs and mud baths.


FETHIYE
is an hour away and is the nearest large town set on a beautiful bay with shops, bazaars, seafront cafes, Turkish baths and the ancient ruins of Telmessos.

Boat trips are available  - the all time favourite day out is to sail around the islands and bays of this stunning coastline on a traditional wooden boat. There is plenty of time for swimming and sunbathing, with space to stretch out, as well as a shady deck area. There are loos on board, and a cabin to change in. A delicious lunch is cooked on board.

Another popular outing is a  trip to a village in the high altitude cherry growing region, where lunch is prepared and served by a local family in their tree top Kosk built over a mill stream. Walks in and around the village provide a real experience of genuine unspoiled village life.
