Sofia Panas
Digital Detox Retreat
We all know it. We’re all spending way too much time on screens. Want to hear something shocking? We are not working or sleeping any more or any less than Western countries were in the mid 1900s! So where is all that time going? Screens and sometimes multiple screens at once. We believe a digital detox is essential to reminding us of what’s important in our lives- what we love to do, who we are and not who we think we want to be because we saw someone online that looked cool. An essential part of connecting with ourselves! No distractions.
Please note this retreat will focus on embracing life away from screens, however, it will not be totally phone free (unless you wish it to be). So if you need to keep in touch with family, children, parents at home you will be able to.
The Venue
Our beautiful venue is located in the Huzur valley close to Turkeys South Eastern coastline. The venue has a stunning pool, plenty of hiking and walking options as well as cute little spots to relax, read and chill.
Food & Drink
You’ll receive brunch and dinner every day, made with the finest local produce and ingredients. All will be traditional, nutritious, plant-based meals prepared by an in-house chef.
We are able to cater to dietary requirements. Please just let me know when you book.

Retreat Reviews
'Sofia's retreat was just what I needed to unwind from daily life. The location was fabulous, calming and serene. And Sofia's gentle flows and luscious yoga nidra restored my tired body and left my mind well rested and renewed...'
'This yoga retreat was the perfect escape from my busy life I didn’t know I needed. I’ve never laughed so much in the space of a few days. Amazing yoga classes, breathtaking venue and the best company! Coming back from the retreat has urged me to prioritise daily movement and make time for the little things in life that bring me joy!'
'Incredible retreat, thank you for having me Sofia!'

'I just had the best time. The food was delicious, the views were stunning, the yoga was just what I needed and the other guests were so so lovely. I feel reenergised and inspired again to practice. Thank you Sofia'
