Giving Back Together
This retreat donates 10% of profits to charitable organisations, primarily supporting the World Food Programme (WFP) and Mary’s Meals. Their extraordinary efforts in combating hunger worldwide are truly inspiring. Your participation not only enriches your life but also contributes to this vital cause.
What to Expect
Each day of the retreat follows a natural rhythm that blends movement, stillness, and exploration. Mornings begin with diligent, slower-paced Flow Yoga — a mindful practice where every breath and micro-movement is given full attention, cultivating precision, presence, and energy that carries into the rest of the day.
After the practice, adventure activities invite you into Andalusia’s breathtaking landscapes. Experience a dynamic mix of canyoning, cycling, via ferrata, hiking, kayaking, river walks and swims, with a well-deserved rest day in the middle.
Evenings are dedicated to restoration. You’ll return to our beautiful yoga shalas for deeply nourishing sessions designed to strengthen and soothe the nervous system. Through a rich blend of Restorative Yoga, Yin, Sound Healing, Myofascial Release, and Yoga Nidra meditation, you’ll be guided into conscious rest — allowing body and mind to recharge fully.
Whether you’re seeking challenge, serenity, or a deeper connection to yourself, these retreats offer the perfect balance of yoga, nature, and renewal. You’ll leave feeling grounded, inspired, and equipped with practices you can carry into daily life long after the retreat ends.

Absolutely wonderful, Sammie, The Netherands
"If you are a (bit of a) yogi, up for some outdoor activities and a foodie at heart: you should definitely join the Yoga and Adventure Retreat and stay at Suryalila! This is a real gift to give to yourself. I had an absolutely wonderful week, a truly superb experience. The driving force behind the retreat is Lidiya. She has amazing energy; is kind and attentive. A big shout-out to her empowering guidance. The quality of the yoga sessions was exceptional. Lidiya is very skilled. Both in teaching yoga as in organizing the retreat. The programme was well balanced. Body, mind and soul are nurtured. It’s a full agenda but not everything is compulsory. If you can, do join all the activities and yoga sessions though. You will not regret it! The highlight of the week: canyoning – an amazing experience. Getting to know and spending time with like-minded people and kindred spirits is a real bonus. Suryalila is a little place of paradise and the accommodation is full of character...
Retreat Leader
Lidiya is an experienced yoga teacher who leads retreats, community classes, and advanced training modules. Yoga has been at the heart of her life since she first discovered the practice in 2006, and she has been sharing it with others since 2014.
Her classes are often described as both inspiring and nurturing — a dynamic balance of vigor and vitality, combined with gentler, grounding sequences. Through her guidance, students often leave feeling uplifted, spacious, and deeply alive well beyond the class itself.
Breath awareness is central to her teaching, as she encourages practitioners to integrate body and mind through conscious, embodied movement. With careful attention to subtle details, Lidiya invites students to bring meditation into motion, refining awareness of the present moment and cultivating depth within the practice.
Her yoga sessions are often enhanced with the soothing sounds of singing bowls, and through her Restorative and Yoga Nidra offerings, she helps students discover the profound power of conscious rest. Her teaching aims to create a sense of inner quiet, resilience in the nervous system, and harmony across all levels of being.
Lidiya's classes intend to:
-
Weave together strength, stillness, and awareness to offer a balanced, joyful, and transformational experience
-
refine presence by drawing attention to the subtle layers of the practice
-
awaken and enliven inner energy, leaving students clear, spacious, and invigorated
-
Nurture nervous system balance to reduce mental and emotional stress
-
guide students into deep conscious rest with her restorative and Nidra sessions
Personal Aspiration
“Do your practice and all you need will flow effortlessly in life…”
Trainings
In addition to completing her 200 & 300-hour teacher trainings with Frog Lotus Yoga International, Lidiya has studied Yin Yoga with Sarah Powers, Therapeutic Yoga with Donna Farhi, as well as Sound Therapy and Thai Massage — all of which enrich and inform her teaching style.
