The journey

Practice ashore, then practice at anchor

The first half is on land above Adrasan: yin and yang practice in the morning, a forest walk to the Gelidonya lighthouse, a climb at dusk to the flames that have burned out of the rock at Yanartas for as long as anyone has written about them. The second half is a gulet through Kekova, drifting over the sunken city, walking the Lycian Way to the castle at Simena, and practising on deck with the anchor down and nothing else in the bay.

Three nights ashore, five aboard, with practice twice a day: yin, vinyasa, Yoga Nidra and meditation, plus a workshop on ayurveda and the elements. Free-diving, canoeing, canyoning and paragliding can be arranged from Kas on request.
