Each day there will be a particular focus depending on what you, as a group, will benefit from the most. The perfect balance between strength, integrity of breath, and alignment, this class will leave you brimming with energy well after it has ended. DEEPLY NOURISHING RESTORATIVE, YOGA NIDRA AND MEDITATION SESSIONS Awakening to the power of conscious rest is the intention behind each afternoon yoga session. These practices are big energy regenerators and help you find sustainability in your life. You'll use various forms of props, and will experience sound therapy to assist the body to fully release to gravity and to open to its own rejuvenating powers. You will have the opportunity to find rest on all levels while refining and settling your awareness into the present. PRANAYAMA These sessions can assist you in feeling mentally empowered and alert, physically purified, and energetically vibrant and fully alive. During our retreat week you'll dive into in depth exploration of various balancing, energising and soothing breathing practices. This will help develop discipline, and enhance the quality and the mobility of the life force (prana) within you. Pranayama is considered one of the most valuable tools that the Yogic tradition offers to influence our mind. It sets the ground for meditation, bringing us closer to our inner stillness and wisdom. Hopefully you'll be inspired to create a regular practice after the retreat ends. Escape Christmas Retreat Reviews "Best Xmas ever... outstanding experience!" "Don´t tell my mom but this was the best Christmas ever!" A wonderful experience on a beautiful and peaceful site in a Spanish natural resort. Vidya and her team have done such a fantastic job in creating this extraordinary environment, which allowed for great yoga sessions, joyful hikes, excellent vegetarian meals and a culture program like no other. Every single person greets you with a smile coming straight from the heart. The yoga sessions and massages, the cleanliness of the rooms and the passion for making the world a better place is visible in every corner and every moment of your stay. My only suggestion for improvement is to tell people about the environmental efforts on day one. I would have used the compost toilets and outdoor showers with even more joy, knowing what difference it makes for recultivating the land. My summary at the end of the Xmas escape retreat was: “don’t tell my mom but this was the best Christmas ever” . We were 40 people and really bonded after very little time; It felt like being with old friends. It was my first time at Suryalila and certainly not the last. "The South of Spain provided days of sunshine and the Winter Solstice full moon shone through the window of our yoga studio to bring a touch of magic to our evening classes. A week of good food and comfortable surroundings was provided by Suryalila in Andalucia. Everyone spoke English and everyone had a story to tell - because we were all escaping Christmas from our usual habitats. Suryalila organised enough events to keep us busy and there was plenty of time to sit in the sunny cupola and chat or walk to local scenic spots (including a bar or two). We were introduced to flamenco dancing, acro yoga and even some board games. A wood fired sauna warmed up the afternoon, followed by a plunge into the salt water pool. I highly recommend Suryalila as a home away from home, an intelligent and supportive yoga school and a beautiful, relaxing holiday destination." schedule cost book BOOK NOW

sites & day trips << See all day trips Enjoy a guided adventure to... Arcos de la Frontera As you drive up to Arcos de la Frontera, your mouth will form in an ‘o’ of wonder at the breath-taking beauty of this golden-brick town perched on a craggy hilltop flanked by a sparkling lake. Believed to stand on the site of the old Roman town, Colonia, Arcos is steeped in history. And as you wander through the maze of steep cobbled streets, squares, arches and monuments, you’ll feel like you have stepped back in time. A day trip here is spent swimming, sunbathing - canoeing even - at ‘Arcos Playita’ the beautiful man-made beach with powder soft sand nestled at the lake’s shoreline before going into the town for a sunset dinner at one of our favourite pavement taverna’s. Watch the world go by as you tuck into delicious local dishes such as ‘berenjena con miel’ and ‘croquetas de verduras’ washed down with a glass of local ‘vinto tinto’. End the day strolling through the atmospheric streets with an icecream in hand and taking in the stunning views across the surrounding countryside and mountains.

Our dedicated therapist Becky provides a deep, grounding treatment that will nourish you from root to tip.
