Reviews by our guests
Heaven is a place on Earth
This is the 2nd time I’ve visited Yoga Evolutions and probably won’t be my last. First time was a Yoga week and 2nd time a Yin Yoga teacher training.
There are so many ways I could describe what Peter and Sue have built here, but one will do…magical.
Magical in a way that being there is transformative, healing, nourishing and honesty you come away feeling you’ve hit the pause button.
Peter and Sue have so much knowledge about their craft and are so very generous in the ways they share it with you. They live and breathe a way of life that most wellness Instagram influencers couldn’t even dream up let alone manifest.
If you want to dip your toe into a beautiful retreat or are a yoga teacher wanting to train in Yin, this is the place for you.

Magical retreat
It's going to be difficult to put into words just how magical this experience was, but I'll give it a go.
The retreat is up in the hills above Oleiros and it's breathtakingly beautiful. Draped over the side of a valley is a string of beautiful white buildings - our little houses, the yoga practice shala and the dining area. They overlook a lush garden (complete with Willow the donkey), the amazing salt water pool and a forested valley.
Sue and Peter, our hosts and teachers, could not have been more welcoming, down to earth, funny and generous. We practised for 2 hours in the morning and 2 in the evening, doing a mixture of ashtanga, yin and Qigong. And what Sue and Peter don't know about these philosophies you could write on a grain of rice. Then there were the gong baths and the shamanic drum journeys. Wow! If you love a dog joining you on the yoga mat, then this is the place for you.
I could write pages about the food. Just to say the chef, Sherrin, gave us a huge variety of delicious vegetarian meals and we were never hungry!
Everything about the Evolution retreat was beautiful, but the most special part for me was bonding with people I hope to know for the rest of my life. We laughed until it hurt and listened to each other's stories.
I realise this is coming across as a bit effusive, but you really have to visit Sue and Peter's retreat to understand that my gushing doesn't even say the half of it. As one of our magnificent women said at the end: "I feel 10 years younger and 5cm taller" x
