Huzur Vadisi is Turkey’s longest established yoga holiday retreat, situated in a secluded mountain valley, surrounded by pine forest. It was established in 1993, as the first centre of its kind in Turkey. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere, far from the crowds, the yurt accommodation nestles amongst groves of olives and figs. This little oasis of peace in beautiful natural surroundings is simple and rustic. The yurts and the shared bathroom facilities are comfortable and beautifully maintained adding to the very special experience.

At night, the valley is dark, revealing all the beauty of the night sky. Huzur Vadisi’s setting brings a deep connection with the natural world that is sure to make your yoga practice immeasurably more beneficial.

“Find the Light Within” Yoga Retreat with Diana

Huzur Vadisi is a truly magical location. Indeed it is the place that was a real ‘life-changer’ for me. It was my first visit in 1999  that inspired me to take the journey to Kerala, to find Kailasam Yoga and to follow my heart and create a new life….

I’m delighted to be returning here to teach again – and to introduce others to this little slice of paradise. Finding time for your own gentle retreat could really nurture and benefit you at this time.

Enjoy a nurturing retreat, with gentle yet powerful yoga, nourishing fresh food cooked with love, and plenty of time to restore and revive; and to resolve any issues in your life as you walk in the pine forests, relax by the pool or while away the afternoon in a hammock.

We all need time to nurture ourselves especially when we have stressful jobs and lives, or are responsible for caring for others – This is the ideal opportunity, with gentle yoga, nourishing fresh food cooked with love, and plenty of time to restore and revive, resolve and heal any issues.

“Take time now to retreat to this special place – a place where change happens. Rediscover your Light, your true power and strength.”

The combination of transformative yoga, stunning unspoiled location, welcoming experienced staff and legendary food creates an experience for which teachers and guests have been returning year after year. Your hosts will be Tanfer, one of the founding partners of Huzur Vadisi, together with his gifted sister Sevgi the amazing chef.

There is an excellent massage therapist on site and we expect that gifted English therapist Tina Shoults will be able to join us from Fethiye to offer life-changing Psych-K
