Dec 14th to 20th
Inspired by the beauty of the island
We invite you to spend one week deepening your yoga practice, in Sri Lanka, shedding the unimportant, traveling back to the physical body, the present moment, the beauty of simplicity within the realm of infinite possibilities.
This week will allow you to grow roots to ground (this is the physical body, the one that connects you to the present moment, the now) and grow wings to fly (this is the spiritual wondering, the energetic/subtle body).
The place that will welcome us for the week was hand picked by us and is tucked away in the jungle, just a 15-minute walk from the coast and beaches. Close enough to dip into the ocean when we feel called, but far enough to truly disconnect from the outside world for a while.
Why Sri Lanka ?
The island of Sri Lanka´s natural and spiritual richness creates the perfect sanctuary for a yoga retreat. Your host and yoga teacher has been living on this island for almost 2 years after studying with Sharath Guruji in India for a few months. She found there the perfect balance between what was passed on to her in India and her way to envision life back home in Portugal. The perfect, the perfect pace, the perfect ground for the union of the yoga she practiced for years back home and the yoga that was transmitted to her in Mysore India.
Nowhere else did we felt that good than in Sri Lanka, fully present, completely in our body, doing life at a pace that felt right, waking up with the sun, eating the freshest fruits, fish, herbs, tea, coconut water and kitul (honey from strap of trees). Bathing in the warm waters of the Indian sea, moving to the rhythm of the island spirituality, temple offerings, and going to bed after witnessing the most gorgeous sunset over the Pacific Ocean.
