"Spending a yoga holiday with Simon at Lotus Yoga leaves you with a heightened state of awareness that is enhanced by the powerful presence of the Arabian Sea, the vast open space of Goan beaches and the stunning sunrises and sunsets you can experience every morning and evening from the oceanfront yoga shala." Eija Tervonen
"Many people here are repeaters, but my niggling fear that yoga trips attract neurotic middle-aged women or diehard hippies soon subsides when I meet the other guests. There are two couples, a guy on his own, a mother and son, and a girl who's not done yoga before but fancies a spot of rest and relaxation. Our mornings start with the chime of Tibetan cymbals heralding the first class. The yoga sala is a beautiful wooden structure, covered with vines. It's very atmospheric with dappled sunlight falling on the floor and the call to prayer from mosques in neighbouring villages echoing around the mountains. With all the fresh air, good food and yoga I'm feeling fantastically healthy. Something about the tranquillity of Huzur Vadisi gets under your skin." Jane Dunford, travel correspondent for The Guardian
* PLEASE NOTE: The Huzur Vadisi holiday can be taken as a one or two week holiday in Aug/September '11.
VENUE - Set among fig and olive groves Huzur Vadisi is in the region of South West Turkey known as Lycia. The aptly named Huzur Vadisi or ‘peaceful valley’, is situated in a secluded mountain region a few miles away from the beautiful & unspoiled Mediterranean coastline and local marina town of Gocek. The centre is based around the original restored farmhouse. There are hammocks hanging enticingly between the trees, a beautiful natural stone swimming pool and a traditional wooden ‘kosk’ or tree/summerhouse, which is a favourite place for siestas and evening gatherings. Huzur Vadisi offers stunning scenery, clear night skies, great walking in the pine forest to spectacular view points and exceptionally warm hospitality in a very peaceful environment.
PRICES INCLUDE - Accommodation on a twin share basis in beautiful yurts (singles available at extra supplement subject to availabilty), full board (mainly vegetarian), all yoga tuition, and one full days boat trip each week. The price does not include flights or insurance. (See single supp info below.)

CLASSES - Yoga classes take place in the mornings and late afternoon in the beautiful yoga shala, where often the o nly sound to be heard is a shepherd’s flute or the tinkling of goat bells in the surrounding hills.
ACCOMMODATION - Sleeping accommodation is in traditional nomadic yurts. These are circular wooden framed permanent ‘tents’, which are very comfortable, spacious & equipped with 'proper' beds, electricity, fans and have wooden floors. There are a couple of bedrooms in the farmhouse, which are sometimes available. NB: availability of single accommodation is always limited and dependent on group numbers.
SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS - There are 2 small yurts and 2 rooms in the lovely house available for single supplements @ £275. These will be allocated on a first come first serve basis There is also a double bed in a larger yurt available for £375 extra. All rooms at Huzur Vadisi are either twin or double bedded and thus any single supplement request reduces the available space. After these five single supplement options have been allocated any additional single request will be charged from £450 .
CATERING - Meals are delicious and in the style of Turkish village cooking, using fresh local produce, mainly vegetarian, and occasionally fresh local fish. Many guests say it is worth going for the food alone!
TRAVEL - There are many flights that go direct from the UK to Dalaman. Flight costs vary depending on the time of booking. We recommend that you book via our preferred travel agent Robinson Travel. Email or telephone 01237 476798
We can arrange a pick up from the airport which is likely to cost you £25. It will be less if we can arrange for you to be met at the same time as other guests. Do please liaise with us when you book you flights.
NB - It is a condition of this vacation that each person has personal travel insurance appropriate to activity and fitness centred holidays.
