Yoga Retreat at Ulpotha, Sri Lanka
with Nadia and Angus
Yoga, Meditation, Swimming (& Resting!)



About
 In terms of Yoga retreats, Ulpotha is quite simply as good as it gets. I have taught there a couple of times and cannot recommend it highly enough. It is what I like to call "5-Star Bare-Foot Chic”.

To put it another way, Ulpotha is about living in the elements – and yet you live in fabulous comfort (see the pictures of the "huts”). The village is stunning, the food is extraordinary (fresh, local and organic) and the staff’s attention to detail is unsurpassed.

This trip will be an opportunity to go deeply into mindful yoga practice; a place to drop everyday cares; a time to be with oneself and connect with others. There will be two classes per day – one strong physical asana class and one more meditative heart-led class.

There will be trips to local heritage sights, swimming in the lake – and oh, did I mention that you can have Ayurvedic treatments and massage in the village every day?

Please read the website fully (www.ulpotha.com) so that you know exactly what a wonderful and unique experience you are signing up for!

Please note also that young children that share a room with their parent(s) go free.

More Testimonials
"Just a quick line to say that I had a very pleasant stay at the Hacienda last week... the yoga room awesome and Scott's food, well.... Tracie and Jason certainly made us feel welcome and are such a lovely couple. But most of all, what really did it for me is the yoga and it was great to practice so much and in such a varied way. Your teaching is, as always, inspirational as well as good fun and a joy to practice. I feel really privileged that I have had the chance to meet and to practise with you."
