A week to pause, reconnect, and welcome the energy of spring.

Join us for our third Renewal Retreat, at Suryalila in Andalusia, Spain.

Beginning on the Spring Equinox, when day and night meet and the light begins to return, this 7-night retreat marks the turning from winter into spring.

Through yoga, meditation, creativity, nourishing food, and deep rest, we’ll create space to slow down, reconnect, and gather energy for the brighter season ahead.

The retreat follows the natural rhythm of the season: honouring the inwardness of winter, while beginning to turn towards the light, growth and energy of spring. Like the natural world emerging from its winter cocoon, we create space for something new to take shape.

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Suryalila, the retreat brings together movement, meditation, creativity, nourishing food, nature, and deep rest, creating a gentle rhythm between restoration and renewal.

There is space to slow down and listen, to reconnect with your body and energy, and to reflect on where you are and what feels important now. And as the days begin to lengthen, there is also an invitation to look ahead — to gather your energy and consider what you want to move towards in the season ahead.

“The Renewal Retreat was a tonic for the body and mind. I arrived burnt out from winter and work and left refreshed, renewed and ready for spring”

“From the greeting on day one we were supported and surrounded by positive, affirming energy. Bridget is an excellent teacher and Meritta ensured that everyone was looked after and all her 'chickens' were happy.. one of the most life-enhancing things I have done. The benefits will continue long after I leave Suryalila and will sustain me until the next retreat.”

Daily Yoga & Deep Rest in Andalusia

Our practices explore the different qualities of energy in the body — from movement, breath and meditation that awaken and encourage energy to flow, to slower practices that ground, soften and restore.

Across the week, we’ll work with:

  • Morning meditation & yoga — beginning with Kundalini-inspired meditation and reflection, before moving into Hatha/Vinyasa practice to awaken the body, breath and energy.

  • Evening Yin & Restorative — slower practices to ground, release tension and bring softness and ease into the body.

  • Breathwork & meditation — practices to connect with the breath, cultivate awareness and work with the body’s energy.

  • Yoga Nidra — guided deep rest for the body and mind.

  • Morning Pages & journalling — quiet time to clear the mind, reflect and give thoughts and ideas space to emerge.

Frequently Asked Questions

“When Meritta sent me the invite to attend her's and Bridget's yoga retreat Meala Soul, I jumped at the opportunity as it was taking place abroad and in January. For years I had been wanting to be out of Ireland in January and here it was. 2024 had been a full and heavy year and I needed an escape. Well, by day 2, I knew that I had found the perfect escape, a place that I see myself returning over and over again. Suryalila ticks all the boxes for my busy life head and tired body. A truly wonderful down to earth, guilt-free escape. And the food is beautiful, never did I think that vegetarian food could be so varied and tasty. Suryalila - heaven on earth. Thank you Vidya for following your dream, and thank you Bridget and Meritta for organising this mind-blowingly grounding, enjoyable, creative and releasing retreat.”
