Yoga Sutra Shala Retreat Centre

Could not have expect a better safe haven to celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary :o)The Sutra Shala team's hospitality, outside yoga classes by the pool with the birds and the wind singing, incredible homemade cooking,We loved the evening gatherings after dinner with Namit's ask me questions" sessions

My time at Yoga Sutra Shala was absolutely wonderful! I was a total beginner and I feel I got a solid foundation from which I can now build my own yoga practice. Not only did I learn a lot about yoga and meditation, but I got to know a fantastic group of people and enjoyed the incredible surroundings, beautiful building, and amazing plant-based food. The warmth from the teachers and volunteers was incredible :) I couldn't recommend this place more, and I will definitely be back!

¡¡INMEJORABLE!!Los retiros en Yoga Sutra Shala son realmente una experiencia inolvidable.He aprendido muchísimas cosas sobre yoga, meditación, nutrición y filosofía. Todo eso rodeado de una naturaleza increíble, la casa y las habitaciones son preciosas, los grupos pequeños y la comida increíblemente rica y equilibrada (todo vegetariano y ecológico).¡¡Me quería quedar allí para siempre!!

I had such an amazing experience, the teachers were so kind and generous. It's in a gorgeous vally town and hour and half away from Alicante. From booking to arrival and departure everything was planned like clockwork and was effortlessly smooth. I met a lovely group of people and it was such a reinvigorating week. I couldn't recommend it more highly. Thank you Namit and team for everything.

100% recommend a retreat at Yoga Sutra Shala. I understand yoga better in my body and in my mind thanks to Namit's teaching and my practice is greatly improved through increased awareness of breathing and anatomy. I've gained a deeper understanding of yoga than ever before (after decades of practising and different teachers). Namit and Bev created such a warm and welcoming environment and it was wonderful to meet and share with the other participants at the retreat. We had a lot of fun and there was a lot of love in the room; a beautiful retreat to gentle loving kindness. The library is great with more excellent books than it's possible to read in your time there. The food and accommodation are off the scale amazing. I got a lot more out of the retreat than I expected including in meditation, breathwork, and the philosophy and anatomy workshops. I'm so glad I chose this retreat. Thank you Namit, Bev and all :-)

Loved every second of my Yoga Sutra Shala experience! Amazing location and very warm people! Would recommend this to anyone who loves yoga, meditation, healthy food, hiking and beautiful nature..

Yoga Sutra Shala exceeded my expectations. The house you stay in is wonderful, classes are great, the town of Benissiva is cute and the food... oh my, the food.. Fernanda is the best chef!I’m already looking for possibilities to come back!

Una experiencia inolvidable. Namit y su equipo nos acogieron con calidez en el retiro haciendo de cada detalle un momento para recordar. La comida excelente, las clases de yoga excepcionales y para todos los niveles, incluyendome a mi, que soy principiante. Muy buenas clases de meditación, las técnicas que se impartieron esenciales para lidiar con el estrés y mejorar el autocontrol. Un lugar también para el aprendizaje. Los integrantes de Yoga Sutra Shala son personas muy respetuosas y atentan con las que se puede conversar de cualquier tema.Gràcies a tots,

More than a yoga retreat, it was a gift of nourishment for the body, mind and soul. I’ve always seen Yoga as so much more than asanas (physical practice or postures) but as a way of living that helps us to return to our inner wisdom and truth. I was thrilled to find the Yoga Sutra Shala as it is completely based on that, which I find very precious, especially as in western societies, yoga tends to be portrayed without its essence. Namit is an experienced teacher with great knowledge of anatomy, nutrition, and philosophy, combined with genuine kindness, intuition and generosity. It doesn’t matter what is your level of practice, if you engage in the experience with an open heart and mind, you will take back with you something more valuable that you can imagine. The retreat is very well organized, and everything is well thought out. The food is of high quality, organic and deliciously cooked with love by Bev, the chef. The location is beautiful and the accommodations are very nice and comfy. If you are searching for something more than a holiday to feed your heart and soul as much as your body, this is it. Last but not least, the people you’ll get to meet on the way will make the whole experience one-of-a-kind.
