A retreat to explore what cultivates a harmonious life, both inner and outer. Surrounded by the raw, honest beauty of nature, we will practice and discuss techniques to enhance our ability to listen to our inner wisdom; to find the calm within that is our path to peace; and to understand what makes our heart sing as we connect to the precious beauty, joy and love that already resides within us.

yoga retreat sri lanka faqs
Where in Sri Lanka is Lanka Yoga located?
Lanka Yoga is a peaceful lakeside retreat centre on Koggala Lake, on Sri Lanka’s south coast, close to Galle and the surf towns around Ahangama. It’s quiet and green, but still easy to reach.
How do I get to your yoga retreat in Sri Lanka from the airport?
Most people fly into Colombo (CMB) and then travel south by private taxi or car. If you’d like, we can also book a transfer for you, so it’s all organised and simple from the moment you land.
What’s included in a yoga retreat in Sri Lanka at Lanka Yoga?
Each retreat is a little different (because each teacher designs their own programme), but most include: accommodation, daily meals, and a structured schedule of classes/workshops with plenty of space to rest and explore.
How much yoga do you do on a typical Sri Lanka yoga retreat?
Most retreats include two sessions per day — often a more active practice and a slower class, workshop, or breath-based session. The exact schedule depends on the teacher and the focus of the week.
Are your Sri Lanka yoga retreats suitable for beginners?
Generally, yes. Most retreats work well for beginners as long as you’re open-minded and happy to learn. That said, every retreat has its own focus and intensity, so it’s always worth checking in with the retreat organiser/teacher to make sure it suits your experience level, body, and what you want from the week.
Can I come alone to your yoga retreat in Sri Lanka?
Absolutely. Lots of guests come solo. It’s easy to meet people naturally (shared meals do the work), and it’s also just as easy to keep it quiet and have your own space.
What style of yoga are your retreats?
It depends on the retreat. Some weeks are more vinyasa / flow, some include yin and restorative, and others lean into breathwork, somatics, or movement-based practices. We keep the retreat listings updated so you can choose a week that genuinely matches how you like to practise.
Do you offer vegan food on retreat?
Yes — our meals are plant-based, fresh, and made for people who want to feel light and energised during practice. If you have allergies or dietary needs, tell us early and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
What’s the best time of year for a yoga retreat in Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka has different weather patterns by coast. For the south coast, the most consistently sunny period is usually December to March, with wetter months typically around May to September. If you tell us your dates, we’ll give you the most realistic expectation.
How long are your yoga retreats in Sri Lanka?
Most are week-long (often 6–8 nights), but it varies. The listings on the retreats page show the exact dates for each upcoming retreat.
Do I need to be “fit” to do a Sri Lanka yoga retreat?
No. You just need a body and a willingness to move it kindly. Teachers offer modifications, and you can always take rest when you need it. Retreats are about building capacity, not proving anything.
