This New Years Retreat will take place in two different locations in Sri Lanka- beaches and mountains. We will travel the island to explore different landscapes, get in touch with the elements and connect to ourselves.

​You will learn to appreciate the highs and the lows. Just like the mountain tops and the ocean bottom. Let nature reflect your own very being and dive into a Yoga program that will explore Tantric philosophy, Healing Yoga classes based on Vinyasa, Classical Tantra and Forrest Yoga, Yin Yoga, Ayurveda and a big portion of fun. Open up for an enchanting journey within-Because the way in is the only way out.
