ABOUT

Our handcrafted Adventure and Yoga Retreat combines daily vinyasa flow and restorative yoga classes with super exciting activities in beautiful setting of Andalusian Natural Parks.

From canyoning in the stunning Green Gorge, kayaking in a local lake, cycling the Green Road, hiking in Grazalema Natural Park, Via Ferrata in Ronda, relaxing in Suryalila’s salt water swimming pool and sauna, to experiencing relaxing sound baths and enjoying delicious organic meals every day, you will love it all.

I had an amazing week at Suryalila on Yoga and Adventure retreat hosted by Lidiya. It was extremely well put together and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! I can’t believe how relaxed I’ve come back feeling. The energising morning yoga and restorative evening sessions were beautifully created by Lidiya, held in one of three lovely spaces and complementing the adventure of the day. From abseiling down a canyon to kayaking and cycling, we tried our hand at many new activities that were filled with adrenaline and fun. The food at Suryalila is also a standout, the delicious vegetarian food from various cuisines is very nourishing after a full day of yoga and adventure. I will definitely be back for part two!

Lidiya is an amazing yoga teacher and human being. She exudes warmth and caring in her practice. Having not done yoga in years, I came as a beginner and she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She takes her role seriously and she had the perfect pace and attention to both beginners and more experienced folks. She is extremely knowledgeable, her classes were easy to follow, and I enjoyed them all. I would highly recommend. – Veronica Keegan

Amazing week of adventure and yoga. I would highly recommend this retreat to everyone! Or at least those who are up for incredible hikes, amazing canyoning, beautiful bike rides, to just name a few activities. It is an action packed week, but includes a well earned rest day, but I felt incredibly energised from the week. The yoga twice a day was really good. Lidiya is an excellent teacher and group leader. The classes were demanding and challenging but never too much so. The food is really good.. I had read all the good reviews before I left and I wasn’t disappointed!I shared a room in the main house with 3 others, it was very spacious, very clean and had beautiful art work and a big ensuite bathroom…There is one thing for sure… I will definitely be back. If you have any opportunity to visit this amazing gem of a yoga centre I would do it.
