Yoga and Hiking Retreat Reviews
“A teacher's teacher
Lidiya’s Hiking and Yoga Retreat is one of the most inspiring and well-taught yoga experiences I have ever had! Lidiya is a teacher’s teacher. I have been teaching yoga since 1996 and I am on my mat every day (sometimes several times a day), and as a dancer, I have studied many kinds of somatic practices. The variety of the classes was so satisfying and deeply nourishing. Lidiya’s beautiful voice and heart guide a rich practice, and she also creates a beautiful group experience that is inclusive of everyone, from folks new to yoga to those who have taught it for decades.

“Challenged and inspired me
I recently participated in a yoga and hiking retreat at Suryalila Retreat Center in Villamartin, Spain. The retreat was led by Lidiya Petkova, who was our yoga instructor and hike leader for the week. I have been actively practicing yoga for the past 8 years, and consider myself to be at an intermediate level.
I immediately felt at home in Lidiya’s classes. Her calm and clear voice put me at ease, opening my heart and mind and helping me to be at ease. Lidiya’s teaching provided clear instruction and guidance for each asana. The pacing of the classes was very helpful, allowing me to stop and watch if I needed, yet still participate. I also appreciated the use of various props and music during classes. This workshop has both challenged and inspired me to move further into my practice, for which I am very grateful.
Lidiya was also an inspiring hike leader, sharing the beauty of the mountains that surround Suryalila. I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to share this experience with my husband and friend, and to meet some wonderful people as well. I would highly recommend a retreat with Lidiya!

“Hiking and Yoga retreat with Lidiya
If only I could relive this week over and over again.. Lidiya is one of the best yoga teachers I’ve encountered in my 16 years of practice. She is thoughtful and attentive, while her joy and expertise are central to her classes. I felt energised after the morning classes and rested after the late afternoon classes, as promised. The hikes around Grazalema were stunning, I slept in a mini dome which was the perfect mix of comfort and camping life. I came solo and left with many new friends. And I can’t review this place without mentioning the stunning grounds around and the delicious food served at every meal. Lidiya has truly mastered the art of recharging for people that like to be active whilst also craving some rest. l’ll be sure to return to Suryalila in the coming years!

“Incredible experience that will stay with you!
I came to my first ever retreat as a solo traveler; I expected it to be good but I didn’t expect it to be as magical and soul fulfilling as it was!
Suryalila itself is stunning - you feel tucked away in a little calming oasis. The food is incredibly delicious and was super nourishing.
Lidiya’s hiking and yoga retreat was thoughtfully planned and executed. All of her yoga classes were their own experience and each of the hikes were just stunning. It was such a treat to be part of her group; many of us came as strangers and we left feeling like a little community. My body and mind feel so incredibly good and I am forever grateful for this opportunity to be here.

“Mid-Autumn Nights Dream
We have just returned from a ‘Yoga and Hiking’ retreat led by Lidiya Petkova at Suryalila. 48 hours later we are still trying to work out weather it really happened or was just a ‘Mid-Autumn Nights Dream’. Such a magical six days with a really lovely group of people where age, background, single or accompanied and all the other usual dividers melted away with the serenity of the surroundings, the delicious and beautifully presented food (we are not normally vegetarian but would defy anyone not to enjoy the variety and quality of food served up at every meal and not to be wanting for anything) and the skill and effort of Lidiya in crafting, engaging and inspiring everyone in a deep and varied program of dynamic and restorative yoga. Our intention at the start of the retreat was nothing more than to enjoy the twice daily yoga sessions and some hiking in the Grazalema National Park, hopefully with the bonus of some autumn warmth/sunshine. By the end of the first full day, it became clear that this retreat was going to provide so much more nourishment on multiple levels and it more than delivered on that every day. We would like to thank all of the staff at Suryalila for everything you did, often quietly in the background, to make this such a pleasant and smooth experience. Our thanks also to all the lovely members of the group; you all in your own ways added so much to our experience. Most of all, thank you Lidiya - you an are a master of your craft and a true professional in the way that you designed and executed the retreat and were always there with a smile, boundless energy and enthusiasm from the start of the day until the end (and at the bottom of the mountain or the top !) We hope to return for reprise (maybe the Yoga Adventure next time) but in the meantime, thank you again for such a memorable and profound experience.

“Yoga and hiking
I’m just back from Lidiya’s yoga and hiking retreat, and I had the most amazing week! Lidiya is a wonderful yoga teacher I really enjoyed each of her classes. Slow and strong flows with such great attention to detail. I loved the mix of vinyasa in the morning and restorative each evening after our hikes. The hikes were also amazing and a great challenge to combine the two together. The retreat centre was more than I expected, the food was incredible and the rooms were so beautiful and very clean. The energy was so friendly and calmly. Thank you! ❤️
