"Discovering the Soul's Symphony: A Scientific Exploration of Spiritual Practices."
This is your retreat opportunity to explore the intersection of science and spirituality and receive practical tools for integrating holistic practices into your day-to-day life.
From July 12th to 16th 2024, in the serene and beautiful surroundings of Suryavana Retreat Center, located in the charming town of Jerica, Castellón, Spain - you are invited to be a part of an intimate gathering of not more than 20 participants, in a setting designed for holistic practices and workshops.
At this retreat, we will provide you a profound healing experience on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level with different holistic modalities, which are centered around movement, energy, and the expansion of your awareness. In addition, you will learn the science behind these powerful tools and gain more insights regarding their impact on body, mind, soul.
From different yoga practices, to healing breathwork sessions, intuitive dance journeys, and the exploration of different meditative and mindfulness practices - we believe these holistic techniques are even more beneficial when we not only experience them, but understand the mechanism behind them. This way we can gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things and tap into a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty of our own being.
By combining ancient wisdom with modern science, we aim to provide a holistic approach to spirituality that incorporates the mental, emotional, and physical, and spiritual dimensions of being. Thus, you will leave our retreat not only feeling rejuvenated, but backed up with knowledge and deeper understanding.
During the retreat, we will enjoy delicious vegan meals, take refreshing dips in the pool, and participate in a full schedule of holistic practices, talks, and group activities. Our focus will be on connecting with ourselves and others, as we explore the practical aspects of spirituality and cultivate a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.

Sudāka
Instructor
Born in the West Country (of England) in 1970, his yoga journey began at home in 1987. He first started training with Narapriya when at Leeds University. On an epic journey across Europe and Asia, he then attended several meditation retreats in Thailand (1992-1994) teaching his first impromptu yoga classes with his Thai-Burmese students.
Back to the UK, he felt drawn to give himself more fully to yoga and meditation. He completed the Iyengar yoga training and started teaching in 1996 in Newcastle upon Tyne. Desiring to go deeper, he then entered an intensive period of training and study and in 2001 received the Sanskrit name Sudāka (Su, happy, dāka. sky-dancer).
He continued to train with various teachers including Godfrey Devereux (Dynamic Yoga method), Paul Grilley (Yin yoga) and Sarah Powers (Insight yoga). Setting up and running Bodhiyoga International has developed his own unique approach and understanding of Yoga.
Now living in and around Suryavana Retreat Centre with his wife and two children, he teaches yoga and meditation in Spanish and English.
