About The Retreat
We are so excited to be heading back to one of our favourite destinations… Sri Lanka! Your home for 9 nights is a stunning yoga retreat venue that is based on Lake Koggala (between Galle and Mirissa in the surf mecca of Sri Lanka), so you can enjoy a cool breeze during the hot hours of the day and escape the heat of the beach and have a coffee or juice in the lakeside cafe a few minutes walk from the venue. Designed with the infamous and beautiful Sri Lankan style architecture it is a place of tranquillity, immersed in nature, and you will instantly feel relaxed as soon as you enter the grounds. The local beach is only a 5 minute tuk-tuk ride away or a 20 minute walk or you can choose where to head to. Turn left and you head towards Ahangama or Kabalana beach – a beautiful wide long beach with great surf for all levels, or simply lie on the beach, have a coconut and enjoy the views. Turn right and head to Wijaya beach, Unawatuna and Galle. Enjoy 2 yoga classes a day in a rooftop yoga shala with lake views and all yoga equipment is included. Your Sri Lanka yoga holiday is also fully catered with in-house Sri Lankan chefs creating plant-based delights every meal time. The days go by in a whirr of yoga, delicious meals, peace a quiet by the lake or visit the beaches and coastal villages and explore the local area. With surf at your doorstep you can make it a surf yoga holiday or if you prefer culture explore Galle and temples nearby. For wildlife, bird life is incredible and take a day trip on a safari and see what you find!

Frequently Asked Questions
I haven’t done much yoga before, can I come?
We have designed our weekends and weeks for people who love yoga, whether they are beginners or have been practising for years. All our teachers are very experienced and are more than capable of adapting the classes to all levels. Our ethos is about being open & friendly, and we set up our business to spread the incredible word of yoga to people who perhaps wouldn’t have gone on a yoga retreat before. So don’t be shy, there is no time like the present to start your journey with yoga.
Do I have to attend all the Yoga sessions?
Of course not, we understand we all want different things. Our two-hour sessions normally also include meditation or mindfulness, so it’s worth giving it a go.
