Yoga & Mindfulness Week
with Leonie Taylor & Charlotte Watts
Grenadine Lodge, Turkey
Sep 15th-22nd 2025
This week will be dedicated to guiding you to feel calm, connected, restored, rejuvenated and content.
Mixing mindfulness within yoga practice and through meditation space and personal exploration is a profound and enjoyable way to let go off the stresses of day-to-day life.
This yoga hotel is really lovely, with great service and truly lovely staff. The swimming pool is big enough to properly swim with a small bar beside the pool, which also serves snacks and amazing fresh pomegranate frozen juice ‘slushies’. It also has two yoga shalas which overlook a pomegranate field, which is where the yoga sessions will take place and a Turkish tree house where students can relax.
Dalyan village is situated on the small river that joins the lake to the sea and the yoga hotel is situated in the conservation area between the village and the beach. There are hotel bikes you can use for a lovely (and flat!) 10-minute cycle into town. This means you can either completely escape or enjoy this lovely town with beautiful river, cafes and great shopping if you want…. The beach is a 15-minute bus ride or you get get there by river taxi from town – there is turtle sanctuary at one end.
There is a mid-week break (with no yoga) which you could use to either relax by the pool, explore the surrounding areas or even go on one of the amazing excursions – a boat trip, waterfall, amber forests, the ancient temple site of Kaunos and many more!
The holiday includes
Two yoga sessions daily – opening and energising in the morning and relaxing and restoring before dinner. Suitable for all levels and modifications always available.
Daily breakfast plus 5 evening meals are included in the cost of the holiday – extra evening meals are available on-site if you wish, however local restaurants are also highly recommended, as are the dinners on the various boat excursions available.
A large Turkish breakfast will be served after the morning yoga class and an evening meal on the arrival night, as well as on 4 other evenings. The food is typically Turkish vegetarian – a wide variety, lovingly prepared and scrumptious! Fish is available for a small extra cost.
Accommodation (all en-suite and with air conditioning).
Not Included – Flights and Insurance, plus meals other than as specified, there is great food available for lunch at the hotel bar and at cafes in town nearby.

Reviews for Leo’s 2024 trip to Dalyan
‘What a treat to have recently attended a retreat in Dalyan Turkey with Leo Taylor (Centred Space) as teacher/guide in the company of other wonderful yogis.
Leos approach was wholesome and nourishing, blending beautiful practice with meditation and mantra.
Leo is highly intuitive and professional with the ability to ’see’ everyone making you feel welcome and safe.
Lovely complex, food and cheery, helpful staff.
I would highly recommend.’

‘I had such a wonderful time on retreat with Leo. Her natural warmth, generosity and sense of fun shines through into her yoga teaching and she worked hard to make sure we all felt included, loved and relaxed.’
Pip Western Wellbeing
‘Leo’s yoga retreat in Turkey was fabulous. A really magical experience. Leo’s gentle, compassionate teaching allowed me to relax and unwind at my own pace, giving my mind and body respite from all the incessant demands of life. Lovely place, lovely people, lovely food too. Very special, and highly recommended. Thank you Leo!’
