Soleya

from Sol (sun) and Aleya (Hebrew/Arabic for uplift, ascending)

Soleya is born from Sol—the sun—and Aleya, a name rooted in the meanings of upliftment and ascension. Together, they form a sanctuary of light and transformation. Our yoga retreats are designed to help you reconnect with your inner radiance, awaken your true essence, and rise into your highest self. Just like sunlight, Soleya offers warmth, clarity, and nourishment—creating sacred spaces that feel like coming home to your own glow.

Elisa Kleinbichler

Meet Your Teachers

I'm a free spirit, naturally curious, and excited about exploring the world within & around. Originally from Austria, I've spent the last years living & working in many different places. My approach to teaching is inspired by all those chapters. I view yoga as a holistic practice, integrating the rich dimensions of yoga philosophy, asana, pranayama, and meditation into every class, while honoring the unique needs & limitations of each student. My goal is to inspire students on their spiritual journey of self-discovery, fostering greater self-awareness, presence, and contentment in everyday life. Together, we will cultivate a practice that leads to bliss and fulfillment both on and off the mat.

Pauline Münchenberg

I love exploring life, learning new things, and being by the ocean. Having a background in psychology, I've always been curious about the human mind. Flowing to our own rhythm by moving our body, stepping out of the thinking mind, and tapping into the magic and joy around and within us, is why I love (teaching) yoga. My flows are inspired by vinyasa, surf and yin yoga, always considering the physical and mental health of my students. I see yoga as an adventure because you never know what you may find on the mat and within yourself. I hope to take you with me on this adventure, inspiring you to play, being creative and present within yourself, while rediscovering your own body, mind and the world around and within you.

We are Elisa and Pauline – two friends, certified yoga teachers, sunshine lovers and free souls. In our yoga classes, we focus on strong vinyasa flows to awaken our inner light, while also ground and pause through slow flows & yin classes to release stuck emotions. We always try to cultivate positive energy and spread love – on and off the mat, to help you bring what you practice in class into your daily life.
And that's why Soleya Retreats was born.

About the Location

Our nutritious, homemade meals will be fully plant based, sourced from local family owned organic farms and based on a powerful intermittent fasting philosophy.

The retreat center is only a 15-minute walk away from the beach and the local village is just down the hill, so you can explore the surroundings easily during your free time.
