Our Yoga Retreats

Summer Yoga retreat

The “Call of the Forest” (13-19th July 2026) 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. We practice as much as we can “outdoors in the nature” enjoying the beautiful grounds of Suryavana Retreat Centre.

I want to “go back to basics” around Satipathana practice. Especially given we have some new students with us. Also I’d like to have a “get together” each afternoon at five to go into themes.

Autumn Yoga retreat

The Five Buddha Mandala” (24 – 30 October 2026), an exploration of yoga and Buddhist meditation practice through archetype and ritual, drawing out the qualities of each of the Five Buddhas and their consorts. Aksobya “Determination”, Ratbasambhava “generosity and abundance”, Amitabha “Love”, Amoghasiddhi “fearlessness”  and Vairocana “Awakening”.

This retreat is open to all levels of practice for those who want to enter the richly imaginative and magical world of  the Buddhist world. We practice yoga related to each of the principal energies of each Buddha and delve into the psychological and spiritual aspects of these qualities through simple reflections and rituals. We practice as much as we can “outdoors in the nature” enjoying the beautiful grounds of Suryavana Retreat Centre.

Testimonials

Fi Aberfeldy, Scotland
"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. The house and its surroundings provided the perfect environment. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by olive groves and flowers. Perfect."

"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"
