Yoga
Retreat - Huzur Vadisi
TURKEY
28th
June to 5th July 2010
Living Yoga
A week of Dynamic Flow and Yin Practice.
The
week will involve a dynamic flowing morning practices using postures
to strengthen, tone and open the body whilst developing stamina and
vitality.
The afternoon sessions will be a meditative yin practice, encouraging
length and strength within the muscles and deep tissues of the body.
It is the aim of
this week of yoga to develop the feeling of stillness and ease whilst
being physically challenged within dynamic sequences and postures using
the breath and insights gained from gentler Yin and meditation practice.
Although not based
on the Iyengar asana approach we will refer to B.K.S Iyengars book ‘Light
on Life’ to supply a structure to how we can achieve wholeness
and inner peace in yoga practice and our lives.
Resources will be
available to continue your practice beyond the retreat i.e instruction
sheets for asana, pranayama and meditation.
The week is suitable
for beginner to intermediate level. The Dynamic sequences will not involve
advanced postures but will be challenging. Therefore a good basic level
of fitness is required.
There will be plenty
of time to enjoy the pleasures of the Huzur Vadisi and beyond.

Independent’s top five yoga retreats.

"A
perfect balance between rusticity and comfort. It's easy to see the hand
of the artist at work - the vibrant colours in the furnishings and rugs,
the beautiful hand painted soap dishes, the stained glass in the bathroom
- all the little touches that make a difference. You have perfectly enhanced
the magic of this beautiful valley.'
