Reset Retreat | Sri Lanka | 12-20 November 2026

A RESET with yoga and mindfulness in SRI LANKA: practice, experience, culture, nature, exploration.

I warmly invite you to a truly special yoga and mindfulness retreat, combined with deep rest at the beautiful boutique hotel Roots Retreat in southern Sri Lanka, set amid the breathtaking surroundings of Sri Lankan nature and culture.

This retreat is designed so that every participant can feel what it is to come back to herself, to her own nature, and to tell her real needs apart from those dictated by a rushed, overstimulated world. We do this through our practice, through contact with pure nature and Sri Lankan culture, and through genuinely nourishing meals prepared with heart from local, flavourful Sri Lankan produce.

You will experience stillness, pause, calm, cleansing, release, letting go, wonder and the joy of being HERE and NOW.

Through simple ways of working with body and mind in these gorgeous surroundings, you will feel a deeper connection with yourself.

Who is this retreat for?

For anyone who needs to rest away from the rush of everyday life, to give themselves time in which body, mind and spirit can reconnect. For complete beginners who have never practised yoga, and for experienced practitioners alike.
