WELCOME TO SKYLIGHT YOGA™ TURKEY!
Relax and Replenish in Southern Turkey & the Mediterranean Sea
Pristinely clear waters wedge between Mediterranean coastal mountains and frame steep, pine-tree valleys,
natural waterfalls, world-class hiking trails and secret beaches on the 2021 SKYLIGHT YOGA™ Expedition to Turkey!
Yoga teaches us that we already are Existence-Consciousness-Bliss. We need to be reminded of that with heart-to-heart and down-to-earth connection. We need quiet time in nature, deep connection to the love in our hearts and profound aspiration to hear the guidance of our soul. Let the enchanted coast of Southern Turkey, Sri Sudarshan and SKYLIGHT YOGA EXPEDITIONS™ guide you into that sacredness. Unknown but to a handful of people in the world, this paradise for adventure-loving Yogis tucked away on the secluded beach-flanked cliffs of the Mediterranean Sea will capture your heart as it has ours! Stunning, turquoise-blue waters and luxurious accommodations in Istanbul and the Turkish Riviera create a glowing ambiance and exquisite venue for the 2021 SKYLIGHT YOGA™ Expedition to Turkey!
Nestled on the remote southwestern coast of Turkey which boasts year-round sunshine, delicious gastronomy, a rich culture and a wealth of outdoor activities, this is true Turkish Mediterranean Serenity at the top of the class! Enjoy daily customized instruction in Yoga, Meditation, Health and Spirituality, exploring lush butterfly nesting grounds, swimming in the crystalline Mediterranean Sea, and discovering truly world-class hiking trails amongst ancient ruins of the Old Silk Road, which linked lost civilizations from China to Rome. And the best part?
It is ALL-INCLUSIVE! Warning: not your average "yoga retreat," this is the spiritual adventure of a lifetime!

DAY 1
Old-Town of Istanbul Welcome to SKYLIGHT YOGA TURKEY! This unique trip to the heart of Turkey and spirituality has so much to explore inside and outside, that we start with a grounding meditation before setting our sights on the wonderful cultural treasures of Istanbul. Straddling the Sea of Marmara and dividing Europe and Asia, Turkey is home to a fascinating archaeological history and one of the most vibrant and eclectic cultures in the world! Tükiye! |
|
DAY 2
Sultanahmet Royalty Freedom to explore Sultanahmet and its museums, bazaars, royal palaces, tranquil mosques and the enormous cathedral, Hagia Sophia, also called "sanctuary of wisdom," that still stands as a symbol of the art, religion and architecture of the Eastern Roman Empire's capital city known as Constantinople. Your SKYLIGHT YOGA Expedition Leader, Sri Sudarshan, welcomes you to relax into the next adventure with a 360° panoramic rooftop dinner overlooking the famous old-city. |

DAY 3
Paradise in Turkey Energy builds as we are near our final destination, boosted by the excitement of the road ending, being picked up in a 4x4 and descending into the valley... you are here! This natural, stunning and secret Yogi's paradise-hideaway is known to just a handful of people in the world and is definitely not your ordinary retreat. We are honored to bring you a place that you will truly love and remember forever... ranked as "The Top 15 Destinations in the World for a Yoga Pilgrimage of a Lifetime!" |
|
DAY 4
Five-Elements Healing Benefits of connecting with Nature are augmented by the *unspoiled energy* of the land, fragrance of delicate flower blossoms, pine trees and exotic flora of the valley. Let your eyes feast upon the lush, immaculate scenery, let your body be cleansed by the natural springs and healing waters and let your mind be revived by the all-powerful breath. Connect to the five elements through your five senses. We create the space for transformation so that you can nourish your body, mind and soul. |

DAY 5
Boat to the Bliss Beach Adventures do not stop on land! Sail across the Mediterranean Sea to explore coastal ruins before docking at this secret and secluded beach. Where few feet have stepped, take in the serenity and peaceful setting of a place that few humans have seen in recent history. Today's Yoga class is at Bliss Beach! Bliss, or Ananda in Sanskrit, is one of the three universal or natural expressions of all living things. |
|
DAY 6
Pure Prana Vitality Give your legs a stretch on this stunningly beautiful trek to the local mountain summit as you look out above the sea. Having started your daily ritual with Yoga, enjoy elevating views of the Mediterranean Sea as this hiker's dream-trail takes you to the peak of paradise! Karma Yoga is the selfless performance of work or action, while Bhakti Yoga cultivates the feeling of spiritual love. Thus, Yoga leads you to accomplish all of your life's goals. |
|
|
|
DAY 7
In the Valley of Grace This lush and hidden valley abundant with flowers was only recently discovered. Butterflies have been nesting here on their migrations from North Africa to Europe, and back. Survey the valley before ending up at a multi-step, climbable waterfall! Be a true explorer as you adventure from sea to land! Yoga teaches that our actions and experiences create subtle impressions in the subconscious mind. Yogis select skillfully! |
|
DAY 8
Reflections on the Self Ancient ruins from the Old Silk Road connecting China to Greece are still strewn along the coast of Muğla Province. Few outside of archeologists are even aware that these ruins exist. These were the original centers of globalization and trade linking East to West, traversing the Lykian Way to move goods across continents. Time to meditate and reflect! Connect to the inner Self amongst ancient ruins, secret beaches, immaculate hiking trails or simply enjoy a day of Yoga, tea and relaxation in Turkish Mediterranean Serenity! |
