Join us for 7 days of deep-diving into Yoga and Surfing on the beautiful southern coast of Sri Lanka. An exclusive community retreat to explore the island lifestyle.
The Daily Rhythm:
You will wake to an early morning yoga and meditation practice with Rosie. Set the tone for the day, open your body and connect to your breath.
After practice, enjoy your choice of three homemade breakfast smoothies (peanut butter and date/tropical/cacao) with the option to add vegan protein powder.
After practice, grab a quick bite (coconut roti with banana and PB, energy balls, fresh mango and papaya or overnight oats).
You’ll find the tuktuk’s waiting outside to take you to the beach for a surf lesson with our expert instructor Rash and an assistant coach.
Catch some waves, then come back to shower and eat a delicious biiiig brunch spread: topped sourdough, smoothie bowls, pancakes, roti, chia pudding, hoppers, fresh salads, bliss balls, banana bread and more.
Afternoons are a mix of deep-diving into learning and being a student and relaxing; Surf theory, pool sessions & video analysis (we will of course share these videos with you to show your friends and family back home just how epic your surfing is!)
On days where there’s no afternoon session, you will have free time to explore our favourite local island hangouts (the best coffee shops!) Or maybe relaxing with a book by the pool or heading back to the beach.
Finally, we’ll close the day with an evening practice (yin, yoga nidra, journaling, breathwork, meditation) and a hearty dinner. Ready to rest in the comfy beds, to go again the next day.
Create..
We’re excited to introduce a silver jewellery-making workshop (included in your retreat price) for you to make a beautiful (surf inspired?) piece to take home with you.
Why Sri Lanka? Why us?
We live here, we love it here, and we know what it’s like to immerse yourself here not as a tourist. In short, we want you to feel what we feel. Come and share the warmth, the wildness, the wonder. The rhythm of life here.
This one’s close to the heart because we’re welcoming you to our island home. To our favourite surf breaks, the coconut stands run by smiling uncles and the slow, sun-drenched rhythms we live by.
It’s soft mornings to ground ourselves and open our bodies with movement + breath, salty skin and surfboards under arm. Warm dhaal, the freshest, juiciest mango, coconut everything and the kind of slow magic that only happens here.
We’ll stay in a tucked-away, colonial villa in Weligama. There’s a pool for post-surf floats and loungers for sunbathing, comfy, spacious, private and shared rooms and space to breathe and find the true meaning of flow-state and presence in all directions.
Intentional, Thorough and Progressive
This isn’t just a surf camp with a stretch and mobility class, or a yoga retreat with an hour or two lying on the board more than than you do surf. It’s both yoga and surf instruction held with care, intention and real depth with people who know their stuff.
The yoga is spacious, breath-led, weaving in ancient practices, philosophy and intentional depth.
The surf is supported, progressive and tailored to where you’re at, with space to really grow during the week.
We’ve created space for you to drop-in (just not on each other) fully to the practice and the play. We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between high quality surf instruction and depth of yoga practice.
You get to have both.
On this retreat you will be provided with delicious plant-based, nutritionally dense whole foods, and smoothies prepared by our wonderful private chef. Allergens can be catered for, please let me know when booking.
