MIND / BODY YOGA RETREATS

What is a Yoga Retreat?

At a yoga retreat, you focus entirely on your well-being and health. Professional and inspiring yoga teachers will be at your side to help you deepen your yoga practice and learn more about the philosophy of yoga. Generally set in a natural environment, a yoga retreat is a safe place where you can unwind and participate in activities aimed at helping you heal your mental and physical health by refocusing on yourself.

Although yoga has become very popular recently, it’s actually a practice that originated in ancient India and goes back at least 5,000 years.

The reason yoga retreats have become so popular recently is because they come with a lot of other benefits. Yoga retreats are perfect for taking a step back from stress, distractions, and the hustle and bustle of daily life, while having a save space to re-evaluate your well-being practices.

Another highlight is that retreats give you the opportunity to find like-minded people with positive energy, and also to have time for yourself and to relax.

Since yoga retreats focus on self-awareness and attention to the inner experience, many participants find them to be life-changing experiences.

Imagine an environment where you will be surrounded with beautiful trees, nature, and a panoramic view of the Mediterranean sea. Non-yoga partners, beginners and experienced yoga practitioners of all shapes and sizes are welcome to these beautiful nature retreats to experience equilibrium and peace, inside and out. During weekly treats you will spend here, you will not only have a great vacation, but also refresh your body and mind, connect with your soul, and feel part of the nature around you. This vacation is a great opportunity for tranquility and transformation.

Where are Yoga Retreats Held?

There are a lot of yoga retreats with professional Turkish teachers, and there are also quite a few foreign yoga instructors who organize retreats in Turkey. Local and also foreign students from all over the world take part in these retreats. Since yoga retreats are becoming more and more popular in Turkey, there are a variety of places and facilities to choose from.

Most yoga retreats are located in the Antalya region. They are usually held in a natural environment, such as in the forests, mountains, or near the beach, but there are also many private centers, hotels, and resorts that offer yoga retreats.

The best time to attend a yoga retreat in the Antalya province is during the spring, autumn, and winter because summers in Antalya are generally very hot and crowded.

During the summer months, retreats in Bodrum, Marmaris, and Fethiye are a good alternative.
