Private Yoga Retreat

My retreat with Elvira and Alim surpassed every expectation. Thoughtfulness, generosity and genuine care were woven into every moment - from the free-spirited flow of the experience itself, to the small details that made it truly special: a candle, a wool blanket, a lavender bath bomb, and a curated selection of books on yoga, Ayurveda, mindfulness and meditation brought to make my ocean view apartment feel like home. Not to mention all the additional support assisting with my transportation. Kaş is a wonderfully authentic place, and Elvira and Alim were the perfect guides to all its charm - local cuisine, hikes, yoga in amphitheatres and marinas. Elvira’s expert knowledge deepened the experience and I’ve come away with a far richer understanding of the practice and a deep curiosity to explore it further. I left feeling inspired and hoping to return in the near future. Thank you both so very much.

Thank you so much, dear Elvira and Alim, for hosting me. Thank you for treating me like family. I really felt a deep healing connection that my heart needed at this time and space. It really means a lot. Really. Because you don't have to. But you made me feel at home with my dearest family. You made me feel comfortable enough to share my inner space with you.

Elvira’s communication style and explanations allowed us to learn the philosophy while working the body, rather than just doing poses unexplained. The meditation sessions stood out for their simplicity. Being immersed in nature and culture during the hike felt deeply spiritual while being silent - a reminder to awaken the senses and connect with the body. Beyond guidance in the practices, Elvira offered genuine and generous life insights that I'll carry with me. Going back home, I’ll be taking more silent walks without music, taking meditation breaks, and practicing reflection. The community class was also an amazing experience to see people with different levels! The hosts are super sweet, helpful, and will definitely be missed 🥺🥺🥺.

The Hotel chosen for me was such a lovely, cosy place, with excellent, delicious and varied breakfasts. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and I felt comfortable and at ease throughout my stay. I really enjoyed the yoga and meditation sessions. Afterwards, I felt light, relaxed and good in myself. The practical tips and exercises for my lower back were particularly helpful, and I look forward to incorporating the yoga techniques into my daily routine and making meditation a more regular part of my life. Spending time in nature and exploring new places is something I love, and the combination of hiking, meditation and being surrounded by nature was especially meaningful. It left me feeling deeply fulfilled and even more grounded. I felt comfortable and safe in every way throughout the experience. I’m very grateful for all the wonderful experiences, the thoughtful recommendations on food and sightseeing, the insights into Ayurveda, and the lovely time spent with Elvira and Alim. They are such great people. I’m truly grateful for this time and wish you both continued success with your retreats and all the very best for the future!
