ABOUT THE CAMP
Breathing Space is a one-week immersive camp held at the beautiful Suryalila Retreat Centre in Andalusia. Created for teenage girls aged 16 to 19, the camp offers a holistic program blending yoga, meditation, expressive arts, and nature adventures with tools for emotional wellbeing such as Non-Violent Communication and mindful reflection.
Phones are limited to one hour per day, encouraging authentic connection, presence, and creativity. With a maximum of 12 participants, each girl will be held in a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment guided by experienced mentors Vidya Heisel, Sakshi Dominguez, and Frida Hernandez.
This is a unique opportunity to step into a nurturing community, develop healthy habits, and explore a deeper sense of self.

Guided by Experienced Mentors
The camp will be lovingly guided by Vidya Heisel, founder of Suryalila Retreat Centre, bringing her incredible wisdom from almost 50 years of teaching and learning, together with Sakshi Dominguez, yoga teacher and member of the Suryalila management team, and her daughter Frida Hernández, who at 20 years old can easily relate to the teenage participants.
Together, they create a nurturing and safe environment where each participant feels seen, supported, and inspired to grow, both individually and as part of the group.
