Lake Koycegiz Turkey
GREAT SUCCESS 2011 AND BY POPULAR REQUEST RETURNING 2012
Same price. Early bird £50 discount if you book by 1st Jan 2012
The holiday will be a real treat for your body with an unhurried yoga session on the roof terace in the morning , brunch together in the hotel and then the rest of the day free to explore local beauty spots, take lake trips, visit the local market, throw yourself into the mud baths, go wind-surfing on the lake, rafting on the nearby rivers or just lounge around the pool. Fairlie will be offering treatments (BodyTalk and Aromatherapy) in the afternoons and there will be an early evening session where we will focus on using the breath to calm the chattering mind as a prelude to meditation at sunset.
"Practice transforms us. We need to eat less...we become more beautiful, our faces change and our walk gains in elasticity. A different life begins and the body expresses a happiness never felt before." From 'Awakening the Spine' by Vanda Scaravelli
This holiday will be a chance to awaken the spine, to awaken to the body's wisdom, and approach the body in a completely new way.
"It's not going somewhere in the position, it's opening up in another dimension" Vanda Scaravelli
"The body knows more than we do - the body has a response that's richer than we can imagine." Diane Long
If you're a beginner or completely new to yoga you will find it a very accesible introduction whatever your age, size, shape, level of fitness.
"You'll be amazed to discover that, if you are kind to your body, it will respond in an incredible way." Vanda Scaravelli
If you're already experienced in yoga you will probably find this approach provocative and rewarding.
"Be taken to a deeper place where you are completely free" Diane Long
PLUS everyone will have a chance to have a free individual session with BRUCE WILSON - LIFETIME FINANCIAL PLANNER. Bruce is interested in making a difference to people's lives by helping to clarify what is most meaningful in your life and what your lifetime goals are. These discoveries become the heart of the financial plans he helps you develop. This process often opens up all kinds of possibilities people never dreamt they had!
The peaceful town of Köycegiz is situated at the northern end of Lake Köycegiz between Marmaris and Fethiye in the South West of Turkey. The clear water of the lake is warm enough for swimming from late spring until early autumn and there are many opportunities for wind-surfing, waterski-ing and other sports.
Köycegiz and its environs are a wildlife protected area, and you can find frankincense trees (Liquid Amber) in the woodlands around Köycegiz. The local produce of honey, citrus fruits and thyme are famous throughout Turkey.
Iztuzu Beach: At the Delta of the Dalyan channel where Lake Köycegiz meets the Mediterranean is a beautiful 8km long Sandy Beach. This area rich with wildlife is the home of the Caretta Caretta (Loggerhead Turtle) and blue crabs.
We'll be staying at the ROSE APART HOTEL run by Gul. Gul worked in England for many years and then went back to Turkey to open the hotel with her brother. It has the friendly atmosphere of a family run hotel and is just 35km (30 minutes) from Dalaman Airport. All apartments consist of a living room, bedroom and ensuite bathroom.
Turkish breakfast will be served everyday after yoga. There will be a vegetarian meal in the hotel (included in the cost of the holiday) on the first eve and Gul will cook delicious lunches or eve meals to order during the week.

on to Turtle beach with maybe a chance to see a loggerhead turtle (we did last year), followed by a swim ourselves at the beach, BBQ lunch on board the Gulet and then on to Dalyan for some retail therapy, with a final swim in the lake as the sun goes down.
