Embrace the Mystic Within

A Yoga Retreat Adventure in Turkey

Take this journey into the ancient city of Ephesus and the resting place of Mother Mary. This magical adventure will offer an opportunity to enjoy the beauty off the coast of Turkey which at one time was ancient Greece. It’s time to soak in the culture while going deeper into the healing tools of yoga. Gather with us as we take excursions to the Temple of Artemis which is considered one of the most important cities in Asia minor of ancient times, and today it is considered one of the seven wonders of the world.

We’ll have yoga classes, excursions, and the richness of the Mediterranean food prepared daily. Relax by the pool, hike the surrounding trails, and be willing to go deeper into a practice restoring the blessings of the female energy of Mary. The healing aspects of the Divine Mother await us as we venture into this healing land.

Using the practice of yoga and meditation, Laura Jane has designed this week to support you in exploring the tools of stilling the mind and embracing your authentic self. The yoga classes will blend the disciplines of vinyasa flow with a strong emphasis on pranayama and meditation to still the roaming mind, calm the system, and live in a state of balance. They will cover the fundamental principles underlying the therapeutic application of yoga and how to incorporate these principles into your practice. Work to dissolve old blockages, unravel samskaras, and create new pathways to vibrant health and happiness. The result will be one of the most incredible, unforgettable yoga experiences you will ever have.

This week is a perfect balance between rest and play. Laura has discovered through leading and attending many retreats that traveling together and saying yes to life and its opportunities in the moment create lasting friendships and a gratitude for life’s abundance that will last forever.

This yoga retreat is for all ages and all life experiences, including all levels of yoga practitioners, yoga teachers, and bodywork therapists.
