YOGA RETREAT

A week to immerse & surrender to the ancient teachings of yoga. Experience the profound benefits of daily practice whilst being at one with nature & flowing with the natural rhythm of the island of Sri Lanka.

An all-inclusive 7-day, 6-night immersion with daily yoga classes.

IMMERSE

Imagine waking up to the sound of waves gently crashing on the shore, stepping barefoot onto soft, sun-warmed sand, and rolling out your mat in an open-air shala with nothing but the ocean breeze around you.

This is more than just a yoga retreat – it’s a chance to fully immerse yourself in the heart of yoga, beyond just the physical practice. Here, in a beautiful beachfront sanctuary in Sri Lanka, you’ll explore movement, breath, and philosophy in a way that feels natural, accessible, and deeply enriching.

With five stunning shalas to practice in, every session becomes an experience – one where yoga truly comes to life.

SURRENDER

Let go of needing to be “good” at yoga or knowing all the answers – this retreat is about curiosity, connection, and the joy of learning. Whether you’ve been practicing for years or you’re just starting to explore the deeper layers of yoga, this space is yours to ask questions, try new things, and dive into the ancient teachings in a way that feels approachable and exciting.

Choose from a variety of two transformative workshops such as a meditation and breathwork, yoga philosophy, alignment and adjustments or inversions. You’ll build confidence, refine your practice, and walk away feeling more at home in your body and mind.

IGNITE

Awaken a new sense of inspiration as you step into a space where movement, breath, and knowledge come together to spark something deeper within you. Through daily practice, insightful discussions, and hands-on exploration, you’ll begin to see yoga not just as something you do, but as something you live.

Whether it’s the confidence gained from refining your alignment, the clarity found in breathwork, or the energy of learning alongside like-minded seekers, this retreat is an opportunity to reignite your passion for yoga and for life itself. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, empowered, and more connected to yourself than ever before.

MEET your hosts

Nat

Hi, I’m Nat and I’ll be your retreat host at Talalla!

Movement has always been at the heart of my life. I started out as a dancer and choreographer, and over the past 15 years I’ve taught and created in many styles. When I discovered yoga, my eyes opened to a whole new way of moving—one that felt kind to my body. No more performance or perfection, just awareness.

Eager to deepen my understanding, I completed my 200-hour Hatha Vinyasa training with Triyoga in London—one of the UK and Europe’s most respected studios. My studies and felt experience expanded my awareness through the mind–body–energy connection and life-changing yoga philosophy.

I loved the yang side of the practice, but soon began exploring the yin side, experiencing further powerful shifts in my mind, body, and nervous system. I gained a Level 1 CPD in Breathwork and Meditation with Just Breathe and a CPD in Traditional Chinese Medicine Yin with Soma Chandra. I came to understand how weaving these practices together created a deeply meaningful tapestry in my life. My passion for sharing them comes from this lived, transformational, continued experience.

I offer a diverse range of practice styles, guided by intention. As a creative, inclusive, and thoughtful teacher, my classes flow with purpose—rooted in yoga philosophy and grounded presence—creating a space where you feel welcome, supported, and empowered to explore your own unfolding path.

For me, retreats are a beautiful chance to step away from the noise of daily life, immerse yourself in nature, and truly give yourself time to rest, reflect, and recharge. My intention is to help you restore balance, carry your practice into daily life, and have some fun along the way with a like-minded community.

VARUN DAS

Yoga, Movement & Play

Varun believes that movement, breath, and play are some of the most powerful medicines we have. His teaching is less about “performing” yoga and more about experiencing it — with curiosity, fluidity, and a sense of freedom.

With over a decade of practice, Varun blends yoga, mobility training, qigong, and playful exploration into classes that invite you to move with awareness, breathe with ease, and discover new possibilities in your body. Expect creative flows, thoughtful pauses, and the occasional surprise transition that reminds you not to take yourself too seriously.

He is also the author of Move, Breathe & Play: Because Talking Might Not Be Enough, a book that weaves together personal stories, Eastern practices, and practical guidance for holistic well-being. When not on the mat, you’ll likely find him by the ocean, immersed in nature, or exploring new ways to bring lightness and depth into daily life.

Varun’s hope is that you leave class feeling more connected — to your body, your breath, and the simple joy of being alive.

RETREAT FAQS

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it. 

We know that the decision to book a retreat is a big investment into yourself, and sometimes that journey is a path you need to embark on solo.

Lots of people that attend our retreats come on their own, so we can almost guarantee you will meet likeminded individuals in the same position as you.

We’re also more than happy to host friends and family groups too – the more the merrier! Our retreats are open & inclusive to anyone interested in taking a break from everyday life to look after themselves.

Yes! A retreat is the perfect getaway to make some new memories with your favourite people. If you’d like to share a room with your friend(s), you can choose our double/triple options under the room selection.

There is no requirement to have attended a yoga class before – let alone being a pro!

Sometimes an immersive experience like this is just what you need to acquire a new skill & the confidence to continue the habit when you return home.

We all start somewhere, no matter your age, fitness or physical ability, our team are here to cater to you and adapt classes to your specific needs.

Having said that, if you have a bunch of yoga experience, this is a great stop-off to learn more and deepen your understanding of yoga. Lots of people that join us use this week as a stepping stone before committing to a teacher training. Our team are more than happy to broach the subject with you if you have any questions. 

Sri Lanka has a tropical climate that circulates through wetter and drier seasons, though because of climate change, the weather is increasingly becoming less predictable. In recent years our driest months have seen the highest rainfall!

We encourage you to choose your retreat dates to suit your schedule as globally weather is not always going to show up in the same ways they used to.

‘Rainy season’ really just means that it’s going to rain for a short while at some point in the day, but the rest of the time it’s sunny & tropical. Your weather app will show you rain everyday, but the portion of the day that it rains is not typically going to impact your time on the island. 

So when’s the best time of year to come? The time of year that suits you & your schedule best! We’ll be here to host you at Talalla.

Of course!

Additionally, everything offered in our retreat schedules is optional. So if you decide you need some more ‘me time’, there are many places on our property (and the beach) that you can relax and unwind at your own pace.

Our schedules are designed so that you make the most out of your time with us, both physically and emotionally. But we know that every person is different. We all march to our own rhythms and have our own unique needs, so our staff members are always here to help you to feel comfortable at all times during your stay.

We have laundry facilities on site, so there is no need to overpack (easier said than done!)

Some bits we do encourage you to bring are…

  • Lightweight and breathable clothes to practice in (it can get sweaty in a tropical climate)
  • Something to swim in
  • Something that covers your legs & shoulders when exploring temples to respect local culture
  • Mosquito repellent (we also sell this in our shop)
  • Suncream – the Sri Lankan sun can be very strong (you can find this in our shop too)
  • A water bottle – we have refill stations on the property and encourage our guests to refrain from relying on single-use plastic
  • (Optional) A retreat can be the perfect time for self-reflection as you embark on a journey of personal growth. Bringing a journal and a pen to document your time with us can help to enrich your time.

 

We provide towels/shower gel and yoga mats/equipment.
