The Golden State of Mind with Sarah Drai
Five-Day Journey to Reset the Nervous System
Set along the breathtaking Aegean coastline of Turkey, the Golden State of Mind is a five-day immersion into awareness, movement, and the intelligence of your own nervous system. Held at the award-winning Six Senses Kaplankaya, this retreat weaves together dynamic yoga, deep yin, and dedicated consciousness work into a structure designed to dissolve what is held and restore what is essential.
Each day moves between two anchoring practices: a morning vinyasa class to activate, energize, and build internal heat, and an evening yin session to decompress, integrate, and turn inward. Woven throughout are meditation and breathwork, with consciousness work drawing on Hermetic philosophy, Kabbalistic frameworks, and modern neuroscience, including fascia research and nervous system regulation.
This retreat is for those with some yoga experience who are ready to go deeper not just into posture, but into presence. You will leave with a recalibrated body, a quieter mind, and tools you can carry into everyday life.
