Welcome to five days of nourishing your mind and body with the practices of hatha, yin, yoga nidra, meditation and eco-somatics. Ignite your sense of adventure and stay cool as we descend through the scenic surroundings of Sima del Diablo Canyon and learn how we can affect our planet positively with an introduction to permaculture session and hands on activity in the gardens where we get to help and give back. This is our fourth year running this retreat at Suryalila and we can’t wait to go back to this magical place!
Suryalila Retreat Centre
Nestled in a large open valley at the foothills of the Sierra de Grazalema, Suryalila is the perfect place for a relaxing, nourishing, friendly escape. The retreat centre sits on 45 acres of land and is still a working olive farm with over 350 olive trees. Its natural beauty is unique because it offers expansive views over rolling hills, sunflower fields and lakes that set the stage for the most breathtaking sunsets.
As a guest you will enjoy your yoga practice in one of these three beautiful shalas:
* The Om Dome is the most impressive yoga hall in Europe (special workshop in the Om Dome)
* The cozy wooden Ganesha Shala
* The circular eco building Moon Shala
Food
The Suryalila Kitchen specialises in gourmet international vegetarian cuisine, using the freshest seasonal, locally-sourced organic fruits and vegetables available, artfully prepared in a varied and truly eclectic international menu. Meals are delicious, and beautifully presented three times a day in a buffet format. (All meals are included)
In addition, the Amrita Cafe & Honesty Bar is the perfect place to treat yourself to extra snacks or drinks. Goodies included healthy snacks, vegan ice cream, a selection of beverages including organic wine and beer, delicious coffee and specialty drinks, as well as smoothies and cold pressed juices (not included).
In your down time you can relax by the pool, indulge in a relaxing massage, or immerse yourself in a book in one of the many cozy nooks the retreat centre has to offer.
