Catherine Annis

This year, join me for the first, or the second, or both weeks in the peaceful setting of Huzur Vadisi. Each week we will focus on slow and gentle explorations of the body mind and spirit, gently awakening our physical awareness. Together we will explore elements of the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli, including breath, and the flow of gravity through the body to reveal and release the natural freedom of the body, particularly the spine. This approach to yoga gradually enables us to reveal long-held patterns, helping us find a new lightness and suppleness.

Last year, the group so fell in love with this delightful and unusual centre, that I decided to extend my stay, and we now regularly stay for two weeks. High in the hills overlooking Gocek, Huzur Vadisi is surrounded by virgin pine forest, olive trees and figs. From here you can walk unhindered in any direction to spectacular viewpoints over the coast and islands, and inland to unfolding mountain ranges. It's a truly peaceful and very natural space, perfect for total relaxation, immersion in yoga, and with almost guaranteed great weather.

Accommodation is in nomadic yurts, circular domed "tents", made on a wooden trellis frame. Comfortable and spacious, in hot weather the apex of the roof is left open to the sky - the so called "Eye of Heaven", so that at night you can see the stars from your bed. Equipped with "proper" beds, electricity, wooden floors and home comforts, it is definitely not camping! Some rooms are also available in the farmhouse. There are shared bathroom areas with ample toilet, shower and washing facilities and solar heated water.
