A magical week in the mountains! 

Soraya and Mike make you feel at home from the minute you arrive.

Soraya has a knack for knowing just what the group needs. Her yoga brings you closer to yourself and opens your senses.

Being close to nature all day made that the weather didn’t matter. Sun? Lovely! Rain? Equally wonderful. In fact, the thunderstorm coming in just at the right time during the sound bath made for an unforgettable experience. 

Time flew by and before I knew it, I was left with lots of precious memories and a strong wish to come back next year!

Both complement each other by giving yoga classes and processes to soften and open layers, both physically and emotionally, to reach your deeper self.

Challenge and gentleness at the same time to consciously enter the poses with techniques and instructions. Their attention is divided over the entire group, seeing and approaching each individual uniquely, taking into account his/her trauma, personal growth, physical state, etc. T

hey completely open themselves, the house, the domain, so that you immediately feel at home. A warm, familiar feeling, support, guidance, fun, dance, singing, wise lessons.

I felt monitored and supported by Mike and Soraya through all my emotional waves and processing. They give you all the time and space, they see you in your purest form, which you may have hidden yourself. The group that arises from sharing experiences and exercises provides courage, energy and support. Has had a huge effect.

A really special retreat....full of beauty and natural poetry.  It straddles the line between a personal visit and a revelatory professional group experience. The food and communal work was fantastic and helped anchor us in to this space together. Thank you.. Food for the soul and the body!

Soraya's retreat is so much more than a yoga retreat. It's a week that nurtured my body, stilled my mind and that made my soul sing. The week wasn't always just bliss and happiness, sometimes it's hard work, physically, but also emotionally. Soraya took us on a journey, we've all gone through a process or connected deeper with ourselves, nature and each other. 

I wish this journey for literally everybody, it's healing, it's fun, it's loving. It's the best possible way I could have spent a week taking care of myself.

Without a doubt, Soraya is a gift in herself. A humble, supportive, loving space-holder who takes you on more than a yoga retreat. 

Along with her partner Mike, she transports you to a sanctuary in the mountains and guides your journey with compassion, integrity and an open heart. I cannot recommend this experience more highly, or put into words how special a place it is. If you are looking for community, connection and off-grid living you will find everything and more here.

Beautiful setting and wonderful people. I was initially challenged by the retreat, which in retrospect, was a good thing. I hadn't fully understood the extent of the "retreat" nature of the week. Once I adapted to the idea of a very spiritual/reflective retreat, I found it both immensely rewarding, enjoyable and beneficial to me on an unexpectedly deep level.

There aren't many yoga teachers who possess the ability and skills to teach on both a physical and spiritual/personal level and make you feel safe enough to embark on this, Soraya is all of these. The activities, lodge and food were really well organised and of high quality and it began to feel like home very quickly. I have had a really wonderful week and have learned a lot on many different levels 

The retreat was brilliant, yoga morning and evening is something you can rarely experience in the hecticness of everyday life. It resulted in a refreshed body, stronger and more able to function. It brought out emotional issues that needed to be resolved. Cooking, washing up and fire duties strengthened the group and led to a sharing of experiences and support which heightened and deepened the retreat. Walking was enjoyable, challenging and meant you could be immersed in the scenery, which was magical.

What a wonderful experience of balance, integration and coherence. Soraya, you gave stillness and intuitive connection. The experience of slipping into the stillness of my soul, where words became a hindrance rather than a help. You helped me tune into this stillness and reconnect with the unlimited possibilities of my being. I feel a sense of wholeness as I leave and a deep connection with Mother Earth. Highly recommend to those who are trapped in the rat race of life.

What a week! I really didn't expect to get so much of what I have from this retreat. It's been such a journey and feels longer than a week. Time in many ways feels like it has stopped or not been important.

The home and space that you both have created are inspirational, your retreat really does touch people in a life changing way. It certainly was and continues to be a rollercoaster of emotions and I am truly grateful to you both for supporting me. What a very special couple you are and I am so grateful I have found you both in my life. 

This experience has been absolutely brilliant for me and exactly what I needed in my journey at this time. I have been stretched out of my comfort zone, taken to my edge and made some massive breakthrough's physically, emotionally and spiritually.

The standard of yoga teaching was very high and I feel blessed and appreciate I could be part of a very special group, who I found supportive, accepting and warm. I feel I have made some great new friends. I leave feeling totally inspired to made some radical changes to the way I live...to take myself on a journey of yoga, a lifetime journey. Thank you for your thorough love and care

I have had an amazing time, I am not sure what I expected but I feel it has really opened up my mind and made me look at my life in a different way. A very emotional experience! An added bonus was making such wonderful new friends...Thank You

I have enjoyed myself immensely, you have the most amazing space up here in the mountains that makes people really connect with themselves...to realise fully where they are in their life/journey no matter how hard that can be. The food and environment has also been amazing, I am in awe of the way you live up here. You have instilled sense of community with the indoor and outdoor teams and it's been so much fun, an amazing experience.
