You will share a comfortable self contained apartment with lounge, bedroom, and ensuite bathroom. The hotel has its own restaurant and swimming pool. The area is renowned for the beautiful lake, with clear water and invigorating fresh air.

Taking a weeks holiday is a great way to boost your yoga practice and you will be completely pampered by your holistic therapist. The emphasis is on gentle yoga, suitable for beginners. Each day begins with breathing and a yoga class on the roof terrace overlooking the lake and mountains, followed by relaxation and then we have brunch around the swimming pool. You are then free to explore the area, relax, and have your treatments with Anna. We meet again in the evening to share time together before going for dinner.

Several optional trips are organised for the group including a gentle mountain walk to a stunning watefall, an evening trip under the stars to Sultaniye thermal spas and hiring a Gulet to sail across the lake for a day. 

Julie is joined by Anna Cox, a very experienced complementary therapist at the Rose Apart hotel. During the week you can choose two holistic treatments  which are included in the cost of your holiday.   Choose from g aromatherapy, Indian head massage, reflexology, Hopi candle therapy , natural facial and reiki. Anna will also share her love of Belly dancing with us when we have a Turkish evening and learn the basics of a good shimmy!

My second time on this blissful holiday. Once again I felt totally renewed, relaxed, positive and happy. Every moment was wonderful and we felt so completely looked after. Will you have us back for a third year!? Annabelle October 08

Julie and Anna are very professional and the love of their work really comes across. Initially you are with strangers, but Julie and Anna put you at ease and soon you feel you are with friends. Its a super holiday to give yourself some ME TIME. I returned feeling a better person and realised that I do have something within myself to give to others. Vanda October 07

A wonderfully self indulgent holiday in beautiful surroundings. Fantastic yoga teaching and treatments. I went home feeling like I was floating on air and ready to deal with anything and everything life throws at me! Carol October 08

Never having been on a yoga holiday before I didnt know what to expect - I loved every minute of it and got so much out of it. I learned how to relax, breath correctly and be more aware of how my body feels. Anna the therapist was brilliant, sensitive , kind and professional. The therapies were a really special treat and added to the whole feel fo the holiday. It was also great fun, lots of laughter . Everyone should have a week like this bullt into their year - it totally revives you. Roll on next year!! Lisa June 07

Some quotes from yoginis who came on the Total Escape Holistic holiday in Turkey June 2009 “I had a wonderful time; everything exceeded my expectations. I felt totally connected with the yoga practice and to the surroundings. The hotel, food, room were lovely. The treatments with Anna were great and the whole experience will stay with me forever. A truly wonderful formula and I’m sad to be back!” Kate

“My love, thanks and gratitude for having been able to spend such a wonderful week with you. I have gained so much from my experience and definitely found many things which will stay with me. I feel energized and really needed this in my life.” Jan

Morocco Yoga Retreat in association with Authentic Morocco the Moroccan holiday specialists   15th - 22nd May 2010 A new venue for 2010! Yoga students love coming on their Total Escape Holistic Holidays but are seeking new venues and this is something really special. The holiday, which starts and ends with a night in the bustling city of Marrakech, includes 5 nights in Skoura Palmerie where you have the chance to deepen your yoga practice in the peace and calm of the hotel set in 28 acres of flower gardens and olive trees. The Palmerie, 40km from Ouarzazate, is served by two seasonal rivers and within the oasis are date, olive, almond, apple, apricot, fig and pomegranate trees in addition to several kasbahs including the 17th century Kasbah Amerdril. During the week we will develop our knowledge of the Chakras, the body’s energetic system, and experience it through postures, visualisations, sound work and workshops.  Our days in the Palmerie begin with a 2 hour yoga session focusing on a specific chakra including breathing, meditation, postures and relaxation. During the day, after a tasty brunch, there is the opportunity to read, relax by the pool, laze around in a hammock or nap in a Berber tent. Included in the price is an organised guided walk with picnic lunch, and on another day the on-site Hammam is open, free of charge, so that we can experience a Moroccan steam room. We meet again later in the day for an evening activity following the Chakra theme and this could include chanting, partner yoga, energy work, deep relaxation or discussion on subjects which are of interest to the group to enable you to deepen your knowledge. I am very pleased that  Holistic therapist Anna Cox will be offering treatments, at additional cost, to enhance your Morrocan experience even more.   Show Tour Itinery |
