Suryalila Through the Eyes of Anna Sugarman

At Suryalila, every guest and group leader brings a story, and every story makes our retreat centre a sanctuary for many. Today, we share an inspiring testimonial from Anna Sugarman, a renowned international yoga teacher and long-time retreat host at Suryalila. Her words paint a vivid picture of the transformational experiences that define our retreat centre.

¨I will always and forever sing your praises as loud as I can!¨

Describing Suryalila as a place of "brilliant beauty, healing magic, divine delight, and mystical infusion," Anna captures the essence of what we offer. It's more than just a retreat space; it’s a journey to the core of one's spirit.

A Heartfelt Recommendation - Annas testimonial

¨The brilliant beauty, healing magic, divine delight and mystical infusion of culinary nourishment, practice, play and prayer, caregiving and receiving, communion and community – amongst the awe-inspiring tribe of Vidya (human, furry and feathered!), under the illuminating Andalusian sun and stars… Even epic poetry doesn’t adequately express what happens at Suryalila.

Each time I land in this extraordinary space amidst the sunflowers, I find what I didn’t even know I was seeking, rediscover my soul, receive the medicine I need, and return as the me I truly to wish to be. Hosting a retreat at Suryalila is pure joy, from the moment of booking through… booking the next retreat! Which is what happens each time I am blessed to visit.

The amazing team makes everything so easy – what’s previously been challenging is always smooth and sweet as they support, guide and give endless encouragement and moral support. Their correspondence is always informative, complete, helpful beyond – and they’re generous in listing retreats on their site, which drives traffic to mine. In-person… Seamless, delicious, exquisite, unlimited hugs, grace… Walking in feels like reuniting with family, with soul sisters and brothers. With life.

The facilities are not only immaculate, but forever improving – each year there is growth, change, evolution, always surprises in the form of new nature, more beautiful secret spots, yoga salas, paths, animals, additions to the menu and in the Shakti boutique… My guests are endlessly grateful to me for choosing Suryalila – you make me look good! You help me be my best! You hold me so that I am free to hold them.

I recommend Suryalila to everyone – fellow-retreat and training hosts, those in need of an individual retreat, anyone who wishes to find themselves and like-hearts souls. And I cannot wait to return myself.¨
