Sabai Sabai
...aanndd, breathe.
When's the last time you switched your phone off completely — and gave your family a landline number instead? That's what this week is for.

This is a wellness retreat first — yoga's part of it, but switching off completely is the real point. You don't need to be a yogi to belong here. Five nights in a pine valley above the Turkish coast, built around one rule: nothing's compulsory. Join every practice or none — nobody's keeping score, and the only thing expected of you is to actually rest.
Practice on the deck as the valley wakes up, breakfast that isn't rushed, then the day is yours — a quiet spell by the pool among ancient pines and the freshest air, a taxi into town, or absolutely nothing. Everyone drifts back together as the sun drops behind the pines.

A bit about Joy
I'm Joy, and I run JOOY Yoga from South London — almost 20 years practising, qualified across Ashtanga Vinyasa, Yin, Hatha, pre/postnatal, meditation, pranayama and sound. This retreat is the same teaching you'd get in my classes, just somewhere warmer, and the first time I'm taking it abroad.
"Sabai sabai" is what we say back home in Thailand when everything's properly at ease — it's the feeling I want you to leave with.
Early bird until 30 November
If a Deluxe twin is available, paired guests may get the option to upgrade later at the Deluxe rate.
$ and € shown for reference — everything's charged in £ at checkout, so the exact amount will shift slightly with the exchange rate on the day.
