 "Jo is emotionally available, and her teaching approach is grounding. If I had to describe the style of yoga she teaches, I would call it ‘Jo-ananda’, ananda meaning bliss in Sanskrit, because that’s what Jo offers… Thank you Jo for a beautiful experience!" ~ Fadela Hilali, Life Coach

"What a fantastic holiday. Everything under one amazing roof of love, passion and serenity!! The breathwork… The most valuable thing I have taken away is connecting with my breath - deep, long, cleansing breaths. You helped me so much Jo, more than you will ever know. Jo's passion for yoga and love for empowering those who practice with her, helped guide me to let go and find my balance and transform my life to become the person I want to be". ~ Julie 

Yoga Holidays Turkey's oasis EST in 2009  is nestled in Side, one of Turkey’s oldest, historical towns that fringes on the turquoise seas of the Mediterranean and is surrounded by mountains. The old ruins, ancient amphitheatre and Temple of Apollo (which Antony was said to have given Cleopatra as a token of his love in one of history’s greatest love stories) add a special backdrop to my holistic retreat space. In between yoga practice you have plenty of time to relax, enjoy the golden beaches (all within close walking distance), explore, go shopping or sample the delicious Turkish cuisine at one of the many great restaurants and cafes in the area.

An affordable retreat for women and men, for solo travellers, couples, friends or groups alike. Come and reset and rejuvenate yourself while enjoying a blissful yoga holiday and meeting other like-minded people from around the world. No matter what your level of yoga, whether you’re a yoga instructor wanting to deepen your practice, just starting out or wanting to get back into a more grounded practice, my doors are open to you. Get ready to leave here with renewed energy, self-awareness, vitality and zest for life.
