Our Yoga retreats

For many years, in addition to the Yoga Certification programme, we lead retreats based on meditation, mindfulness and yoga in many different locations around Europe, Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Turkey, Spain and Scotland. Now based at the beautiful Suryavana Retreat Centre, near Valencia, Spain, we offer a comprehensive and rich programme of retreats, open to anyone. These retreats have a new format for Bodhiyoga emphasising several sessions of yoga practice each day, seemlessly combining yoga and meditation.

We are offering two retreats in 2024. The first retreat, the "Call of the Forest" (25 - 31 May 2024) is a showcase of Bodhiyoga best practices and we present yoga through various modalities. Classical Hatha/Vinyasa, Remedial Yoga and Yin Yoga seemlessly exploring meditation and mindfulness throughout the day.

In the second retreat, "The Enchanted Forest" - is a Yoga Journey through the Five Buddha Mandala, (1 - 7 July 2024) we explore yoga practice though the lenses of the Five Buddhas, emphasising an imaginative and Mythical connection with yoga asana and ritual practice. Both retreats have a strong "being outdoors in the nature" enjoying the beautiful grounds of Suryavana Retreat Centre.

Both these retreats are ideal for anyone considering our Yoga Certification teacher training programme.

Here is a typical daily program:

7.30 Yoga I (classical), outdoors with sun-rise

9.30 Breakfast

11.00 Yoga II Workshop on yoga asana, pranayama, meditation, exploring ritual/ imagination

12.15 Break

14.00 Lunch

---free time---

17.00 Yoga practice IV (Yin based)

18.30 Break

Each day will contain several yoga and meditation sessions, looking at different aspects of practice. These retreats are ideal for those with some experience in our approach but also suitable for novices and students from other schools.

The places for these retreats will be strictly limited.

We are offering singles (£850), doubles (£650) and one of the rooms called "Dana" - Generosity, as dormitory style room (£450) (3-6 beds) for our forthcoming Yoga retreats at Suryavana. Do join us.

Testimonials

"I arrived at Suryavana really needing a break. I returned home a week later feeling like a new person. The week was pitched perfectly for what I needed - gently guided meditation and restorative and more energetic yoga practice with some really wonderful savasana practice, something one rarely gets a chance to really explore in everyday life. The house and its surroundings provided the perfect environment. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by olive groves and flowers. Perfect." Fi from Aberfeldy, Scotland

"The Mindfulness Yoga retreat I attended at Suryavana gave a massive boost to my yoga and meditation practices. I came home recharged and reminded of the huge potential of a mindfulness approach to yoga. The surrounding Spanish countryside is spacious, quiet and beautiful, and the accommodation and facilities clean and well taken care of. Sadhita and Sudaka have this brilliant ability to hold a group, keeping it focused, while being humorous and lighthearted, too. I will be going back!" Josh Gale, New Zealand (based in Heidelberg, Germany)

I turned up to the Bodhiyoga retreat with my arm in a sling with torn shoulder and arms muscles. I was worried about how much yoga I would be able to do... Suḍāka and Sadhita couldn't have been more sensitive. They worked around my injury and I was amazed at what I was able to do as the days progressed. When I left I could do a headstand! The retreat, set in the mountains, made a perfect getaway. There is a beautiful calmness there, which led to a very moving week. The yoga and meditations were inspiring, and the understanding of the human spirit that Suḍāka and Sadhita share is truly unique. I especially enjoyed the guided silences which gave an oppurtunity for self reflection which I hadn't experienced before. A wonderful week, full of loving kindness, which I highly recommennd. - Francesca Stutely, Javea, Spain

Upon arrival at the retreat you are immediatly- physically and spiritually transported a step closer to ¨heaven¨. The landscape devours you, the teachers, Suḍāka and Sadhita charm and warm you with thier simple caring and natural attitude (there is no yoga ego living here!) while your yoga and meditation practice slows down, deepens and opens you on all levels - KathrynAnn Webster, Bilboa, Spain

Suḍāka and Sadhita gave a really clear and excellent course in meditation and yoga that helped me deepen my practice in a way that I will take forward as part of my busy life in London! - Hugh Mouser, London. U.K.

Clarifying, reflective, supportive, comforting, relaxing, detoxifying, peaceful, emotional, space, heat, frustrating, rewarding, release, recommended, special, unique, returning. - Fiona Stiles, Wirral, UK.

Sadhita and Suḍāka really know their stuff. Yoga is intensive and light, so is the meditation, teaching and guidance. A wholesome holiday! Fiona Kelk, London, U.K.
