Introducing ~ The Retreat – A 7 Night Yoga Retreat in Andalucia Spain with Nadia Carriere/ October 26-November 2, 2024

THE MAGIC

Sometimes you need a reset, a reminder of what matters, and what’s possible. To go back to basics, to everything that comes from the earth, and take everything out that doesn’t. Welcome to a retreat that is exactly that – an actual retreat. Winning awards for the Best Retreat in Europe from numerous agencies and travel companies, Suryalila Retreat Centre is a dream! Located in southern Spain in the heart of the Andalucia hills, this escape is designed to bring you back to what matters. Suryalila Retreat Centre, originally an olive hacienda, is located close to the charming villages of Arcos de la Frontera and Prado del Rey. It’s approximately 45 minutes from the historic and beautiful walled city of Cadiz and an hour’s drive from Sevilla, the vibrant heart of Andalucía. ​

YOGA & WORKSHOPS

This week is designed to bring you back home to the one that’s always with you. Home to your body, mind and spirit. Nadia will be leading you through a variety of yoga styles including Vinyasa, Yin, Yoga Nidra and Restorative, designed to ground and release. In addition to this daily schedule, Nadia will be teaching two specialty interactive workshops over the 7 days that challenge your creativity and mind.
