← All Turkey retreatsAbout this selection
Bodrum's Aegean coast has attracted wellness-focused visitors since the 1960s — gulet sailing, ancient ruins, and a sophisticated Turkish hospitality tradition. Bodrum has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well. Seven days is the most popular retreat length in Bodrum for good reason — it's enough time to develop a real practice routine, experience the local culture and environment, and return home with something that lasts. The first two days are arrival and settling; the final two are integration. May is one of Bodrum's best months for retreat — Mugla's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in May tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
