Accommodations

Each room at this center is unique and the size of the rooms vary.

Positioned in the scenic Bodrum peninsula, this retreat center is a sanctuary of peacefulness, surrounded by the Azure Blue Aegean Sea, olive groves, and fragrant citrus gardens.

The accommodations rest on a hill, enveloped by venerable trees and sprawling olive groves. Each room promises an intimate immersion into nature’s embrace. Designed with a graceful balance of modernity and comfort, these accommodations provide a 100% natural environment.

Diverse room options range from a tree house room, bungalow, deluxe double room, and standard double room, to a single room. Each room at this center is unique, and sizes vary. The restaurant and bar offerings are carefully curated to invigorate energy and cultivate health. Mediterranean cuisine, inspired by traditional gastronomy, fuses local fish, meat, and dairy products with seasonal fruits, local vegetables, Aegean herbs, and olive oil. The retreat emphasizes sustainable cultivation, with all products sourced from their own farms, local suppliers, or from the region. The kitchen caters to a variety of diets, offering vegan, vegetarian, and traditional Turkish dishes and can adapt menus to accommodate individual needs, such as allergies and special diets.

Testimonials

I am so excited to attend my third retreat with Laura Jane and this amazing community of yogis. There is a reason so many of us keep coming back year after year. Beyond the incredible resort we are staying at (and “incredible” doesn’t do it justice), Laura Jane creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere in which to explore your yoga practice regardless of where you are in your life. The twice-daily practices and daily sutra study, combined with the beauty of the Baja peninsula and the phenomenal food, make this a retreat everyone should experience! – CATHY C.

I try to never miss Laura Jane’s wonderful yoga retreats! They are the one time of the year that is just about me. I don’t have to take care of anyone or anything other than myself. The combination of yoga, healthy food, journaling, quiet time, a wonderful guide, and amazing friends is just what I need to regenerate for the year ahead. Not to mention that Prana Delmar is a real gem! – KANDICE H.

A trip to Greece had been on my “bucket list” for many years. The experience with Laura Jane in Amorgos was beautiful, peaceful, and exceeded my expectations about visiting Greece! We practiced well-thought-out yoga classes twice a day and still had plenty of time for outings on the island or time to relax by the pool. The group was a true sangha, community, of friendly open people. Old friends reconnected, and new friends were made by each yogi. I feel confident about traveling with Laura Jane! –  KAY G.

Everything was so natural, like windows meant to overlook the snow-covered mountains, but cozy and warm both in our cabins and lodge. Ideally located for a retreat meals were created by a delightful chef. Laura Jane led us with just the amount of yoga and activity to keep it still a relaxing retreat. – MARLA

The Icelandic Yoga Retreat was magical. The lodgings were cozy and clean, the yoga room was beautiful (especially at night!), amenities were perfect (sauna, hot tub under the stars, expert masseuse), and we were treated to three expertly and lovingly prepared meals a day by our dedicated chef. The twice-daily yoga practice was accessible to all levels and Laura Jane made a point of teaching the whole of yoga, not just the physical practice. We had a wonderful group of human beings and it was a pleasure spending time with each one. – JULIE D.

Travel Insurance

We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. 

We have partnered with Trawick International (available for U.S. Residents only). Read more about their policies here. We encourage you to research the insurance company and policy that best meets your needs.
