Can we heal once and for all?
Welcome to this multidimensional and out-of-the-box yoga retreat in the magnificent land of Sri Lanka. Here, were the Buddha used to breathe the same air thousands of years ago, we will get to the root of our healing process, while sharing time with nature in a tropical paradise.
To heal the mind there’s no time
Do you feel you are caught in an endless loop of hurting and healing? What prevents you to be healed once and for all?
In this retreat we will explore this questions with serenity and self-awareness in order to be able to have a fresh start with our hearts and minds. We’ll engage in meditation and heal our physical and emotional wounds together, allowing us to return to our daily tasks feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
TO HEAL THE BODY REQUIRES ACTION
Sometimes we take for granted our body, and we think that because we are getting older, then it’s ok to be less flexible and lose physical mobility.
In this retreat you will understand deeply that many physical disadvantages can be solved, if we take action with our bodies.
Expect multiple physical yoga classes that will be tailored according to each individuals body types.
WHAT SETS THIS RETREAT APART?
In this retreat we will engage with multiple sources of energy to heal our bodies and our minds. From yoga classes in a traditional Shala, to Ayurvedic medicine and nourishing food, every cell of our body will feel the difference. We also have planned a surf lesson and painting workshop!
Everything is being carefully crafted for you to enjoy your time in Sri Lanka.
This all-included retreat is located near the stunning Hiriketiya Bay, offering a perfect blend of luxury and nature.

It’s warm enough in Sri Lanka most of the year to walk around in a bikini or shorts most days. If you are sensitive to mosquitoes, bring some long trousers or longer skirt, would be a good idea when going to or near the beach at night. And of course comfortable yoga clothes.
We have yoga mats available so you can bring your mat only if you don’t won’t to be separated from it.
