Renewal Retreat with Bridget & Meritta (Meala Soul) - Suryalila, Andalusia

The Renewal Retreat is a week-long yoga retreat in Andalusia, Spain, led by Bridget and Meritta of Meala Soul. It takes place at Suryalila Retreat Centre in Villamartín and is now in its third year. It is for anyone who wants to slow down, restore their energy and meet the arrival of spring with clarity and intention.

What to Expect

The week brings together yoga, breathwork, creativity and connection. The pace is meant to be restorative: time to ease out of ordinary rhythms, rest, and reset, rather than to push toward a goal. Breathwork and creative practice sit alongside the yoga, so the week works on body, breath and imagination together, in the company of a small community of fellow guests.

The theme is renewal. The retreat is built around the turn of the season, a natural moment to let go of what has run its course and set an intention for the months ahead.

About Bridget and Meritta

Bridget and Meritta teach together under the name Meala Soul. The Renewal Retreat is their annual gathering at Suryalila, and this is the third year they have returned to lead it. Their offering weaves yoga, breathwork and creativity into a single week centred on restoring energy and welcoming spring.

The Setting

Suryalila Retreat Centre is in Villamartín, in the Andalusian hills of southern Spain. The centre hosts its own teachers and a programme of guest-led retreats, and this is one of the guest retreats. The surroundings suit the theme of the week, with open countryside, space to wander and quiet in which to rest.

Before You Go

The retreat runs for a week and is led in English. Anyone drawn to yoga, breathwork and creative practice as a way to restore themselves is welcome to take part.
