Six Senses Kaplankaya Yoga Retreat
- May 20-24, 2026
The Six Senses Kaplankaya Yoga Retreat is a five day immersion into awareness, embodiment, and deep inner connection, guided by Yesim Yuva and Boniface Verney Carron.
This retreat is rooted in the concept of Atma Bodha, the rhythm of self. Set on the Aegean coast of Bodrum, this retreat takes place at one of the world’s most renowned wellness destinations.
Atma Bodha can be understood as the awakening of self understanding, an invitation to explore who you are beneath habits, roles, and patterns, and to reconnect with your natural inner rhythm.
Through a thoughtfully designed program of yoga, somatic practices, breathwork, meditation, philosophy, and shared practices, this retreat supports clarity and presence while cultivating a deeper relationship with yourself, your body, your mind, and your inner wisdom.
Price starts from €2,800

Tucked away in the serene hills of Kaplankaya, Turkey, this extraordinary Six Senses resort invites guests to embark on a journey of holistic rejuvenation and sensory exploration. From the moment you step foot onto the property, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of unparalleled serenity.
This breathtaking five star hotel provides a wide range of activities in a unique location surrounded by rich historical sites, including Ephesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
As a part of the retreat package, guests have full access to the award-winning Six Senses Spa – one of the largest spa facilities in the world, spanning over 10,000 square meters. The spa serves as a shining example of holistic wellness and rejuvenation, offering pioneering programs designed to nourish the body, mind, and spirit.
The Retreat Program
Throughout the retreat, you’ll be guided by yoga teacher Yesim Yuva and body psychologist Boniface Verney-Carron, whose combined experience in yoga, somatic practices, and body-mind integration offers a truly holistic path to balance and self-understanding.
Over five transformative days, you explore your body, breath, and awareness and reconnect with your natural rhythm and inner wisdom. Each day offers a blend of movement, stillness, and reflection, inviting both release and renewal.
The program has been intentionally designed to meet you where you are, allowing space for personal discovery and authentic connection within the group field. Rather than striving to “achieve” anything, these days are about reconnecting with the deeper layers of yourself, with others, and with the rhythm of life itself.

Dining Experience
At Six Senses Kaplankaya the dining journey is just as intentional and rich as the retreat experience. The kitchen’s inspiration comes from the region’s bounty – Aegean sea, Mediterranean herbs, local artisans – and the resort’s own commitment to freshness, sustainability and mindful nourishment.
The breakfast here feels more like a slow brunch – fresh, colorful, and abundant. Expect local flavors, homemade breads, seasonal fruits, fresh juices, organic eggs, and traditional Aegean specialties, all prepared with care and creativity. The service is exceptional, and every detail reflects the warmth and generosity of Turkish hospitality.
During the day, those who wish can enjoy a relaxed lunch by the sea at the Beach Bar where the menu celebrates the simplicity of Mediterranean cuisine with fresh salads, grilled vegetables, and locally caught fish.
During the retreat you’ll be able to enjoy exceptional dining options as part of the experience, nourishing your body, delighting your senses and restating the connection between food, nature and wellness.
