Holistic yoga retreat in Andalusia
This year’s retreat was so magical and wonderful that I booked next year’s dates the day I came back home to Cornwall! So I will be heading back to the magical Suryalila in February and hope you can join me for another 6 days of nurturing, relaxing and transformative Yoga. This will be my third retreat at Suryalila and I cannot wait to be back there!
My wonderful and dear friend Cecilia Wootz will be joining me so we can treat you with a mix of morning uplifting dynamic practices, evening restorative and Yin sessions as well as daily meditations.
If you have not been to Suryalila, it is a beautiful retreat centre in the foothills of Andalusian mountains in southern Spain and the perfect place to unwind, rest & re energise mind, body and soul. The Yoga shalas, the delicious vegetarian/vegan organic food, the accommodation, the sauna, all create the perfect environment and scenery to find stillness and allow the mind and body time to rest and unwind and revitalise your energy on all levels.

TESTIMONIALS
The whole experience was wonderful. Their was a great generosity of spirit during the week spent on Suryalial, from the abundance of great food to the sharing among the group and your sharing all your knowledge with us. The yoga classes were challenging and pushed me to try new asana that normally I’d avoid. Your wonderful sense of humour kept it all upbeat and moving along. I loved the variety, pranayama, chanting, mixture of Yin and vinyasa yoga and mudras. I looked forward to each session knowing something new was to be shared. The retreat was well planned with great variety and I’m looking forward to your next one….keep me informed!
Thanks for creating an environment where each of us could explore in a way which suited us individually. I have come away with an enhanced awareness of and respect for my body and what it is telling me. I feel that I have moved on in my yoga journey in that I am now able to better incorporate my physical body into my mind/body/spirit practice. I’ve realised that until now, I haven’t given it enough attention. Thank you! I really enjoyed learning TRE too. Having a technique which will enable healing of the many injuries I’ve sustained is a true gift. I loved the yoga nidra, your spontaneous chanting and the quotes and poems you shared. Finally, thank you for being uniquely you.
