The stress and strains of modern living creates layers of stored tension on us. Holistic health therapies aim to help us connect to our true selves, and live more peaceful and fulfilling lives.
YOGA
“Yoga is a way to restore our lost wholeness, our integrity as complete
human beings, by unifying the personality around a center that is silent and
unbounded. By directing the inner light we can see what is subtle, hidden
from view or far away”
Alaister Shearer – The yoga sutras of Patanjali
Yoga is a spiritual practice that does not subscribe nor promote any particular
faith; hence it can be practiced by all. It simply teaches us how to live
with a healthy body and peaceful mind. The practice of yoga increases flexibility;
increases lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons, massages all organs
of the body, provides complete detoxification and excellent toning of the
muscles.
Yoga lessons at Atami Hotel take place in two sessions; in the mornings
at 08:15 – 09:15 and at 17:30 – 18:30 in the afternoons. Classes
last one hour and they are held with attendance of at least two persons.

MEDITATION
“Meditation is the key for opening the doors of mysteries to your mind.
In that state man abstracts himself: in that state man withdraws himself from
all outside objects; in that subjective mood he is immersed in the ocean of
spiritual life and can unfold the secrets of things-in-themselves.”
Abdu’l – Baha / Baha i Faith
Private or group meditation sessions are available.
Price: 50 YTL/person (for groups

REIKI
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also
promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and
is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows
through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy"
is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high,
we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Private Reiki sessions available
Prices: 150 YTL/session (app.82,5
EUR / 56 GBP / 112 USD )
HAKOMI
To notice what arises inside, without judgement, is the essence of Hakomi
and a pathway to deep and abiding health. Hakomi is a journey of assisted
self discovery, a journey through mindfulness to wholeness. The Hakomi method,
as developed by Ron Kurtz, draws from the vast worlds of science, spirituality
and psychotherapy, yet the practice itself remains simple.
“Look within, learn from yourself, accept all your main parts as they
are. Be guided by your inner wisdom in all its many expressions; allow any
change to occur naturally, from inside out”
Private Hakomi sessions are available.
