All-inclusive Climbing & Yoga Holiday Week

For anyone who wants to learn climbing from scratch, improve their beginning climbing skills, or move from the gym to the rock. For anyone who wants to feel the benefits of a daily yoga practice on their own climbing experience first hand. And for those who love nature and adventure, want to be uplifted and grounded at the same time, and all this in a small, international group. 

Are you longing for a time out where you don’t have to worry about anything except your flight? We are looking forward to you!

No previous experience is necessary. Yoga and climbing are taught in English.

You have to arrange your own travel to Antalya. We are happy to provide assistance or make recommendations upon request.

Pick-up and transport from and to the airport or from Antalya (center) are included in the afternoon of the arrival day and in the morning of the departure day. In case of different arrival times or days, a separate pick-up can be organized for an extra charge. 

If you would like to extend your stay to explore the area, go hiking or visit one of the many historical sites before or after the retreat, please contact us!

The accommodation is in the beautiful bungalow camp “The Land” in the climbing village of Geyikbayiri, Antalya, Turkey.

The climbing village Geyikbayiri

The best place to go sport climbing in Turkey is undoubtedly Antalya and in particular the crags of Geyikbayiri. Geyikbayiri is the largest sport climbing area in Turkey with well over 1200 routes, situated only 25km from the vibrant city of Antalya. 

The quality and beauty of the rock in Geyikbayiri, plus Antalya’s climate (mild temperatures in March), and the relative ease of transportation are the prime reasons that pull climbers to the area. You will climb on superb limestone rock, perfect for beginners as well as experienced climbers.

The atmosphere here is very laid-back, ideal to disconnect and reconnect. 

„The Land“ 

The Land means beautiful bungalows surrounded by great nature. The nature here quietly affects all guests, expands the breath and imagination, and most importantly, it allows you to relax safely by leaning to the mountains and facing the sea.

The place invites you to stay: with its natural pool, a sauna, a tastefully decorated lounge area with terrace and mountain views.

The Land is very close to the rocks and close to the Sunclimbing Climbing School. 

The beautiful yoga platform for the daily yoga sessions is nestled in a quiet corner of forest and near a mountain stream, 120 m² in size, surrounded by glass.

But please, see for yourself:

You can choose your bed in three different kinds of bungalows:

• with three single beds
• with one double bed
• with two single beds in separate rooms

All bungalows are simple but beautiful, have heating/air-conditioning, a private bathroom with permanent hot water & towels, and a private terrace. No cleaning or room service is available during your stay. If you need to store food you can do so in the fridge in the common kitchen.

Please indicate your desired category when booking, the room requests will be taken into account in order of registration.

Catering 

Included:

• 6x vegan/ vegetarian breakfast „Turkish Style“
• 5x lunch package to take to the rock (lunch package for the rest day can be provided, if needed)
• 6x dinner (home-made vegan/vegetarian dinner at the camp, dinner at nearby restaurants)
• water and fruit for the day

During 4 days of climbing (with one rest day after the second day) you will learn everything you need to know about rock climbing and experience the power of the rocks yourself. Geyikbayiri is a pure climbing paradise! 

The climbing course will be tailored to the needs of the group. Depending on the climbing level of our participants we will form 2-3 different small groups. From absolute beginners to climbers with some experience (in the hall or on the rock): Our experienced and certified guides will teach you the essentials of rock climbing and share their in-depth local knowledge with you. They will present you with a new challenge every day, always adapted to your personal level. Whether it’s your first time ever climbing or your first steps outside a climbing gym, the guides will find the right climbing spot for you. If the climbing levels of our participants varies there will be different groups with different guides.

The course is less suitable for very advanced climbers, but don’t hesitate to contact us anyway if you are interested in a climbing & yoga week. We can certainly find an individual solution – some days of private guiding for example. 🙂

All material is included, climbing shoes can be rented on site if needed.

If you have your own shoes, helmet, harness etc. of course you can bring it!

We start the day with an energetic yoga session and end it with a gentle practice. Both 60-minute sequences are structured so that both, a yogi beginner and practiced yogi, can enjoy, thanks to the modifications offered. 

In the morning, we focus on waking up and warming up the body for the upcoming climbing sessions. In the evening, it’s all about depth, stretching and letting go. In this way we create a wonderful balance between exertion and relaxation, helping our bodies to process what we have experienced and creating space for the new.

Yoga mats can be rented on site for a small fee. If you prefer to practice on your own mat, feel free to bring it! Blocks and bolsters are available at the Yogashala.

We want the week to suit your needs, so adjustments to the program are always possible. You can join us whenever you want – or take a break if you need one. It’s your holiday!
