How will we do this?

With our dream team, a wonderful collaboration, which comprises of Vicki Baumann, Jo Tocher and myself, Julia Sondack.

Vicki Baumann

Vicki, our qualified Yoga instructor will be running daily classes aimed at those who have practised yoga in the past or wish to try it for the first time; or who are currently attending classes and want to learn more, enjoying the benefits of practising in a beautiful setting.

We will always start with breathing exercises and finish with relaxation. Vicki will introduce and practice vinyasa flow, a sequence of asanas with stretching, balance, and strength poses. The pace is gentle and tailored to you regardless of your level.

In addition to daily morning yoga classes; there will also be the option to take additional classes (small fee for this) if you’d like to focus on  specific poses or flows. Vicki says no fancy kit is necessary, just wear whatever is comfortable for you and of course a smile on your face!

Please bring your own yoga mat. Alternatively there are a few to hire @ £20/week, booking required 6 weeks in advance. 

Jo Tocher

Jo Tocher

Jo Tocher, is a passionate advocate of helping people find their natural flow so they reach their optimum potential and feel more able to deal with the ups and downs of everyday life. She’s trained in multiple therapies including Reiki, Indian Head Massage, Well-being Coaching, Mindfulness and Meditation and is one of 16 Founding Energy Alignment Method mentors in the world. Another wonderful technique she uses is sound tuning forks – have you tried it? Our retreat participants loved it last year. Another string to her bow is aromatherapy and she will be sharing with us the benefits of essential oils in a special class where we’ll be able to create our very own blend.

Jo will be enhancing our retreat with blissful meditations to help you relax and let go of stress, worry and anxiety – you know it – that stuff we all too often carry around with us. If you’ve never tried any meditation or mindfulness techniques before, then please, don’t worry, Jo will immediately put you at ease and aide you to discover for yourself how powerful a tool this can be.

We will hold an EAM (Energy Alignment Method) workshop during your stay to teach the techniques to help get you in flow and release any resistance or ‘stuckness’ that you’re holding onto. You’ll also find Jo has a few other bits and pieces she’ll be adding into the programme but for now we’ll leave a little more for you to discover when you come.

Julia Sondack

Julia adores creating bespoke holidays and experiences for her clients in Kalkan. Go With The Flow Yoga and Well-Being Retreat is one of her personal favourites.

She now arranges, aids and expidites 6 assorted retreats a year in Kalkan.

Julia’s always on hand to ensure all runs smoothly and seamlessly both before and during your stay. She has the Kalkan ‘know how’, has tried and tested all activities and services included in our retreat or available within Kalkan – including fabulous restaurants. It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it!

The accommodation is hand selected from Julia’s extensive portfolio of Kalkan properties ensuring all our needs are met. You’ll find her warm, approachable and fun loving. The relationship between Jo, Vicki & Julia is a special one which brings about a beautiful experience for all the participants.

Where will the magic happen?

In a large, spacious 7 bedroom villa with lovely outdoor space for our yoga practice and al fresco dining. The pool is heated and a delight to swim in. There are quiet areas you can take a book to, communal areas such as the open plan lounge/dining area or around the pool where you can have a friendly chat. A fully equipped kitchen where you can make a coffee or a snack any time you wish and beautiful bedrooms all with en suites and air conditioning for a perfect night’s rest.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout so if you need to keep in touch with work or family it’s no problem. There’s also linen, towels and pool towels provided as well as a washing machine, iron and board and hairdryers which leaves more room in your cases for your other favourite items.

Our Exclusive Villa

Sample Retreat Programme

Full details of our programme will be released shortly before we go to Kalkan, along with a checklist of things you may wish to bring in your suitcase.

Why Kalkan?

Kalkan is a delightful bijou Mediterranean resort grown up around a picturesque bay, on the tranquil, Turquoise Coast of South Western Turkey. Because of its geographical structure and natural lay of the land it affords some of the most exquisite views and stunning sunsets.

It boasts a plethora of well-priced, first rate restaurants, serving the freshest foods, produced locally. As you walk down the pretty cobbled streets you will be impressed by what there is on offer from simple café-style traditional Turkish food through to some very fine dining. The service is always amicable and hospitable, and you’d be hard pushed not to find something on the menu that didn’t take your fancy.

You may also be captivated by some of the local Turkish wares, attractive boutiques, alluring jewellery, and leather shops boasting some great designs along with a couple of superb art galleries. It’s a great place to buy some affordable and unusual gifts. For those that have not visited Turkey before you will be impressed with how welcoming Turkish people are; it’s not at all uncommon to be offered Cay (Turkish tea) by a shopkeeper whilst looking at their goods or extra mezes (dips or starters) in a restaurant.

Things to do in Kalkan

Simply as little or much as you want. From a relaxing Hammam (Turkish bath) through to Scuba diving, visiting nearby historical sites, boat trips, cookery classes and more.

We will be offering a few optional extras by way of bookable trips and activities; all of which have been extremely popular with our previous guests.

Of course, if your idea of heaven is to recline by the pool with a good book, then, please do, you are by no means obligated to do anything other than what you fancy.
