Yoga

Practice Yoga in the middle of nature, surrounded by the enchanting blue waters of the Turkish Mediterranean.
Yoga takes place on the sun deck, two classes daily, one in the morning and one in the evening.
Breathe in the fresh sea air and enjoy every day a new stunning view and if you feel like a refreshing dip after class, dive directly from your mat into the crystal clear turquoise sea.
A week of dedicated Yoga practice is a great opportunity to refine your existing practice and if you are new to Yoga the perfect way to get started.

The Yoga classes are suitable for all levels of practitioners, everyone is welcome!!!
