Retreat Highlights
- Take a break from the rush of everyday life and find a fresh sense of balance in a peaceful corner of Sri Lanka. This retreat offers a carefully designed rhythm of movement, rest, learning, and exploration—supporting both body and mind throughout the week.
- Each morning, reformer Pilates helps you build strength, improve flexibility, and clear your mind, creating a solid foundation for the day ahead. These energising sessions are balanced by evenings of yoga, where you’ll have the space to release tension, reset, and settle into a deeper sense of calm and ease.
- Alongside daily practice, dedicated workshops in Pilates alignment and meditation deepen your understanding, helping you move through life with greater clarity, focus, and energy. A local cooking class offers a chance to connect with Sri Lankan culture through food, while optional excursions—including a guided e-bike tour and temple visit—invite you to explore the surrounding landscape at a relaxed, mindful pace.
- Time for rest is built into the retreat, including a dedicated Bath House session. Designed to support recovery and nervous system balance, this experience complements your movement practice and encourages deep rest.
- With the natural beauty of Sri Lanka as your backdrop, this retreat gives you the space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your deeper intentions. You’ll leave feeling grounded and restored, with renewed clarity around what you want to carry forward into your life.
