“I loved everything and felt very nurtured Emma. The yoga and teaching were fab :-)”. Ms. Bell. 201
“I am writing… to express my gratitude for the teaching and guidance you gave this last week… I got an awful lot out of the time and thank you for the wonderful programme you put together. It was full of thoughtful words, authenticity and good humour.” A. Butcher – 2017.
Dappled sunshine, yoga, forests, the wild seashore and the ripening fruits in the gardens; this is a retreat, an escape to Eden and far removed from the bustling tourist routes, a hideaway beneath the mountains for those who seek a space of peace. A taste of old Turkey on the Lycian Way and a potent venue to reveal delight through an immersive yoga programme that dives into the body, breath and heart.
I been teaching overseas retreats now for 15 years and this remains my all time favourite venue. Together with the team at Suleyman’s and I specialise in balancing the important elements of offering inspirational creative yoga classes, a loving, safe and supportive group environment and the needs of precious time to simply be on holiday, enjoy wonderful food, comfort and beauty. My teaching over nearly two decades has evolved into one that provides clarity, invites a fresh understanding of alignment and a deeper internal conscious and energetic awareness as participants flow mindfully through creative graceful sequences.
There will be two daily classes with one full day off. The cooler mornings will move participants from meditation, through pranayama and into a dynamic flowing sequence of asana. The evenings will be a quieter restorative practice back towards stillness. There are three delicious meals a day.
Suleyman’s Garden is carved into terraces of abundant fruits and vegetables, nestled in the pine forests that cascade down 200m to the Mediterranean. There are breathtaking sea views and sunsets from the dining terrace and yoga shalas. The accommodation is in simple, comfortable stone or wooden cabins with verandahs, shaded by vines and flowers. Most accommodation is single (or for a couple) with double beds and have shared bathroom facilities with ample toilets, showers and hot water. There are also some twin-bed rooms with en-suite bathrooms. There is a swimming pool.
The food is traditional, vegetarian and local. The freshest of salads, rich bean and yogurt dishes. It is plentiful, sun kissed delicious and natural. I cannot recommend it enough.

This area is 800 miles from the troubles in Istanbul and is safe and secluded. These people are my friends and I wish to support them through these troubling times and the best way I can do this to to visit them and ask you to join me too. Please know that you are safe with this Turkish family and their English business partners, safe, cherished and appreciated. xx
