Imagine…
Seven nights in the stunning Andalusian hills!

Eco-saunas, massage, twice daily gentle yoga including meditation, yin yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, permaculture project tour and nourishing meals by the talented Suryalila Chefs…
See you there, beautiful Yogis!
A Kate and Catherine collaboration...
Let’s unravel those subconscious knots by diving deep into the body via deep nourishing gentle practice and self inquiry.
As the world gets busier, more congested, and fast-paced - so too do our bodies and minds. With our years of experience and research into the healing effects of yoga, we promote and honour more gentle practices to nourish our systems from the inside out giving our nervous system the respite it needs to embrace all aspects of the human life experience. The Yogic path teaches us that our natural state is one of peace, calm and deep relaxation. Let’s return there together.
This retreat does what it says on the box… it HEALS.
Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase
“the issues are in the tissues”?
We welcome you to:
Heal
Whether you’re burned out, dealing with injury, paralysed with fear in taking your next steps, overwhelmed with… EVERYTHING, Catherine and Kate are experienced retreat leaders and yoga teacher trainers ready to hold space for you to process and digest. Here is a space to safely digest what you need to move through in a healthy way.
Deep Relaxation
Leave all your worldly troubles behind and dive deep into the healing, gentle and soothing sides of the yoga practice (so often overlooked!) Enjoy twice daily yoga practices. Expect meditation, journaling and plenty of time to basque in the sun, read and relax to your heart’s content in the Suryalila garden and hammocks. You will return to your regular life with your cup overflowing and ready to give your best self out.
Sleep
We all need to catch up on some much needed delicious zzzzs don’t we?! Every day, we will end the itinerary with a yoga nidra practice - an explorative Yogic Sleep meditation of the subconscious layers of the psyche where deep healing and rest can occur. We invite you to bring along a dream journal to enjoy with curiosity all sides of your existence - the waking, dream and deep sleep states.
Explore
You will be in the gorgeous Andalucian foothills. Suryalila from the Sanskrit meaning “Divine Play” is an extremely inspiring and soothing place to come back to your heart. Have you read the Alchemist? We believe you will discover so much treasure right here amongst the beautiful scenery.

ACCOMODATION
Suryalila’s name stems from Sanksrit meaning "Surya- Sun, Lila- the Divine Play".
It’s a light, beautiful, happy, peaceful place where the sun shines 300 days of the year!
It is a renowned gem in the yoga retreat venue world. Seeing is believing!
Situated between the charming white villages of Villamartin and Prado del Rey. Nestled serenely in a large open valley in the foothills of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park. This majestic mountain range can be seen looming large on the horizon behind Suryalila.
A striking part of the natural beauty of the property is the breathtaking vistas extending in all directions, rolling hills, fields of sunflowers, and lakes.
The furnishings and the room decorations have all been imported from Indonesia, Morocco, and India. The Spanish farm-house wooden ceilings with beams and the terracotta style floors blend harmoniously with the exotic Asian furniture and wall hangings. The designer décor is both soothing for the soul and pleasing to the eye.
FOOD
Trust us, you will not go hungry!
Indulge or go light as you mindfully eat the precious food here prepared with yoga in mind.
Suryalila serves three beautiful vegetarian meals a day laid out buffet-style in the dining room. All meals are organic with much of the products supplied from the centre’s permaculture project.
You can enjoy eating the cuisine together either in the spacious dining room or sit outside in the sunshine or shade. There is the onsite Amrita juice bar, and cafe for extra sweet treats and indulgences.
Suryalila is equipped to deal with your specific dietary needs if any.
