Retreats
Every now and then, it’s amazing to getaway from the daily grind and go deep into movement of your body, mind, and soul.
Join me for an upcoming International retreat in Greece, or for a local California getaway. This the is perfect way to see the world in a healthy, conscious way.
Santorini, Greece September 2023
September 24 – October 1, 2023
Join Melanie Caines & Robin Penney in magical Santorini, Greece for an incredible week of yoga, exploration, and play under the Mediterranean sun. The stunning town of Oia will be your home for this OM-azing retreat week: enjoy two yoga classes a day on the rooftop terrace, indulge in local cuisine, lounge by the pool, and soak up all the sweetness this beautiful island has to offer.
Yoga offerings include Vinyasa Flow, Functional Movement, Yoga Nidra, Neurogenic Yoga, & Myofascial Release.
Aethrio Hotel is a village within the village. The Greek word Aethrio means Atrium, a closed and spacious converted inner courtyard.
The romantic alleys and streets near the hotel are car-free. On the one hand this means: a short path from the parking (and located only 100m from local bus and taxi station) to the hotel through colorful, romantic and small alleys (luggage is naturally transported by the hotel service upon phone call). On the other hand: in the hotel area, there are no cars to be found, no noise, no exhaust. Only pure vacation, for body and soul.

The week was amazing under Melanie and Robin’s leadership!
I don’t really know how you could improve it. I came away feeling happy, refreshed, well nurtured and generally shiny and new! So thank you so much to you both for a wonderful week which I shall never forget, and which will keep me coming back for more.

California Yoga + Wine {Stay tuned for dates when this retreat will come around again!!}
Robin & Mark Penney (husband and wife) are teaming up to offer a 4-day/3-night Yoga + Wine getaway in the wine country of San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles in the Central Coast of California! Think of this as a pre-holiday-season rejuvenation to sink deeply into movement, mindfulness, organic and delicious food, and an unplugged countryside, all while exploring the fabulous wines of this gorgeous California region.
There’s more to California wine than Napa Valley, and Mark will show you the ropes through comparing Central Coast wines to those of other regions (France and beyond).
The yoga is meant to refuel and reconnect you to your body, breath, strength, and ability to MOVE and enjoy life. Functional movement within a breath-based flow practice is designed to promote graceful aging, getting up and down off the floor with ease, and exploring your range of movement. Meditation and other practices will be incorporated as well to help you sink deeply into this long weekend of self-discovery.

Suryalila Retreat Centre in Andalusia, Spain is our gorgeous locale. Suryalila is a composite of two Sanskrit words. Surya refers to the ancient sun god and lila means cosmic play (of the gods). Together the words mean “Cosmic Play of the Sun”. Suryalila is a fabulous yoga retreat centre located on the site of an ancient olive oil factory in the heart of Andalusia, Spain. The renovated Spanish Pension and olive plantation overlook rolling hills covered in shimmering fields of wheat and golden sunflowers. We offer a wide variety of accommodations, to suit all budgets, from glamping in the olive grove, to deluxe double rooms with private bathrooms. Come experience the unparallelled magic of Suryalila!
Suryalila is situated on a quiet country lane, between the charming white villages of Villamartin and Prado del Rey. The two closest airports are Seville and Jerez de la Frontera, both about an hour away. We can arrange shuttle service to pick you up from either airport. We offer various trips to visit the many fascinating cultural attractions of Andalusia, as well as adventure excursions such as hiking, horse riding, kayaking, canyoning and day trips to the stunning beaches of the Costa del Luz.
Daily meditation and pranayama, two yoga classes per day, 7 nights accommodations, and 3 freshly prepared meals each day are included. A variety of amazing rooms/suites or even a yurt(!!) are available.
