About the event
Ashtanga Yoga Retreat in Sri Lanka
January 12th - 21st
Wake up a beautiful ocean front colonial mansion to soft sunlight filtering through your shuttered windows. Open your heart in a morning class by led by Bianca Oliveira at the poolside Yoga Shala, nourish your body with a dazzling array of homemade Sri Lankan dishes and rediscover your center with an evening yoga class on the beach as the sun sets. Villa de Zoysa is simply a kindred abode that will awaken your soul, your spirit and your senses. There is history and heart wrapped into the bones of this home and into the spirit of its owner. Time spent on the grounds of Villa de Zoysa — resting in a hammock, curling up with a book on one of the expansive terraces, or sipping freshly brewed tea in an open courtyard — is deliciously restorative. Step onto the green grasses of the villa, and step into peace.
Between the classes, on a typical day, you have enough free time to indulge in surfing, snorkeling, diving, visiting UN heritage site of timeless Galle-Fort, a tea plantation, an isolated Buddhist temple, cycling in the village and even having a fabulous in-house deep tissue massage. We will stay at an ocean front property with unspoiled turtle breeding beach and a 4-acre coconut tree fringed garden provides you with ample lush greenery and space. Our yoga Shala by the pool or the wooden platform with open skies on the beach.
During the retreat we will have an overnight stay at the mountains, visit tea plantation farms and an Elephant Safari Park.
Food: Emphasis is on a healthy, mainly vegetarian diet.
Breakfast, usually taken after morning yoga session, is a dazzling array of fresh tropical fruits by the plateful, eggs of your choice, fresh curd with coconut treacle. Plus the widely popular and much loved coconut roti, preserves and a choice of local teas and freshly squeezed juices.
Dinner is a sumptuous rice and curry affair, freshly prepared by the chefs, in the tradition of home cooking. A variety of at least five vegetables, together with dhal and rice is the favorite among many clients. Locally caught fish can be served for non-vegetarians. A mouth-watering fruit salad or honey-flavored bananas are the proffered deserts.
