Walking inland from the house, you are quickly alone in a heady swirl of wild thyme and rosemary, the winding path stumbling suddenly on overgrown castle ruins, or pensive shepherds, before dropping down suddenly to the narrow bay and a welcome swim.
Most of the courses take place on the roof terrace with its panoramic views, or on the new platform in the garden, and you can always find a quiet corner to meditate, read or doze in the afternoon sun. We eat around the table on the veranda.
Our instructors, all professionals from a wide range of backgrounds, stay in the house as well, so with small groups you are guaranteed individual attention.

Welcome to Surya Yoga - a place apart
Once an olive press, the house is a calm and intimate place in Old Datça, a quiet cobbled village near the sea. With the mountains sweeping up behind, and olive groves all around, it's the ideal place to immerse yourself in one of our courses or retreats, whether to deepen your practice or try something new. An isolated haven from which to observe the eddies and whorls of your daily life.
The village is a few Km from Datça town with its relaxed seafront, ferries to Marmaris and Rhodes, and inviting restaurants grilling fish fresh from the boats in the harbour.
The food we offer varies with the courses, but is usually a vegetarian blend of Mediterranean,Asian, and traditional Turkish home cooking. Our homemade jams are legendary, and we always use fresh local ingredients; seasonal fruits and vegetables, local fish, fresh cheese and yoghurts, and of course excellent olives. |
