OASIS OF LIKE MINDS Words : Lynn Nicholson

OASIS OF LIKE MINDS Words : Lynn Nicholson

When you opt to travel alone you generally do it for several reasons . The idea of being alone with yourself to discover who you really are , the opportunity to meet new people and discover new places and cultures at your own pace in your own way . Whatever your reasons , travelling alone can be fun but it is always good to be able to take a break in a oasis of like minded people where you can just kick back , relax and unwind for a while before pulling out those maps again and Yoga Holidays Turkey is a perfect place to do this .
Now before you think this is a boot camp for yogis let me assure you this is not the case , this is a retreat that is based completely around you and what you are looking for , so much so that 99 % of the guests who stop by here are solo travellers who love the chance to recharge with their own room and private ensuite whilst being situated in one of the most beautiful places in the mediterranean . Also important to point out here that there is no single room supplement , something , which if you are a regular solo traveller , will be wonderful news , and pretty rare .
It makes no difference what level you are at , even if you have only just thought about trying yoga , there is something for everyone and no , you will not be woken at 5am to watch the sun coming up , unless you want to , this is about creating a relaxed and informal break , a chance to unwind , make new friends and experience yoga within beautiful landscapes and blue skies . People stop by here from all over the world so who knows who you will be chatting with throughout your stay , maybe it will lead to a new destination for you to travel to , but for now you can enjoy Side together .
Side ( meaning pomegranate ) is a resort town on the southern coast of Turkey , near the town of Manavgat , 75 km from Antalya . Surrounded by stunning ruins , including the waterside Temple of Apollo and a well preserved Roman amphitheatre , which still hosts colourful performances , Side is one of the best known classical sites in Turkey , so if you want to include sightseeing during your stay , you will not be short of ideas or locations ! www . internationallifestylemagazine . com
