About Lagoon Retreat

Set in an elevated position, Lagoon Retreat is surrounded by a forested conservation area overlooking the Sülüngür Lagoon with spectacular views across the beautiful Dalyan delta and Istuzu beach.

The utter peace and privacy of the venue, immersed in nature, creates an idyllic setting for a yoga retreat where you can forest bathe, inhale the vital prana and tune into the birdsong and hum of cicadas.

Retreat programme

Each day will begin with a morning yoga class in the fully equipped yoga shala, set on a hill with views of the surrounding forest and mountains.

The class will include asana, meditation and pranayama. Gently opening the body and attuning the mind to the breath, the class will slowly build into a flowing and dynamic sequence, always incorporating the cultivation of awareness, physical alignment and breath. The classes will be suitable for all levels and yoga experience.

Between classes you can simply relax by the pool or head out and explore the stunning beauty of the surroundings. The group will meet again in the late afternoon for a more gentle and restorative yoga session. Classes will begin on the morning of Sunday 22 June and there will be one yoga-free day during the week.

Things to do

 A short bus or taxi ride from the local traditional village will take you to Istuzu, a long, sandy beach in the conservation area where loggerhead turtles come to lay their eggs. Or just a 15 minute walk through the forest brings you to a private beach on the lagoon.

A 10 minute taxi ride from the village in the opposite direction will bring you to the charming riverside town of Dalyan with its shops and restaurants.

Visits to nearby ruins of ancient Caunos, mud baths, boat trips and other excursions, including off the beaten track, can be arranged if you want to explore.

Accommodation & food

The comfortable and well appointed ensuite bedrooms are suitable for single, double, twin or triple accommodation. All are different. Some have balconies and other terraces with lovely forest views. All have air conditioning.

Delicious breakfast and dinner are included. There will also be ingredients for help-yourself light lunches and unlimited fruit, water, teas and coffee are included.

Inexpensive lunches are also available a short walk away in charming little eateries in the local village or Dalyan.

Client Reviews

Jaya is a truly incredible teacher. I have totally reenlivened my passion for yoga and rediscovered my spiritual path as a direct result of her wisdom, expertise, guidance and open humility. I truly cannot thank her and you enough.
Susan
Wow…..What a life changing week with Jaya! I went with only one Hope, and that was to be able to clear my mind and re-set. That was achieved… and more. The classes were perfect. Jaya’s teaching is clear, calm, inclusive, encouraging and enjoyable. Jaya worked us hard, but not to the point it felt unpleasant, only challenging in a good way. I got to experience the most sublime 7 days of ultimate self care.
Freya
Jaya's expert teaching and compassion flowed to us all and made for a nourishing memorable week. As, by chance, we were a women only group ( I have attended mixed retreats also) she used asanas and pranayama for our particular benefit. I feel joyous, rested and invigorated.
