RESTORE

YOGA & SOUND HEALING RETREAT

Disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with yourself.

Spend a week immersed in nature, embracing deep relaxation and nervous system restoration.

Shed what no longer serves you through yoga, sound healing, and mindful practices – on and off the mat.

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

This retreat is an invitation to come home to your body.

Through the science of yoga and the therapeutic power of sound healing, you’ll be guided back into a state of deep awareness and presence.

Daily movement practices and immersive sound journeys are designed to calm the nervous system, release stored tension, and create space for genuine reconnection – physically, mentally, and emotionally.

In the stillness of nature, you’ll tune in, slow down, and rediscover what it feels like to truly be in your body.

DAILY YOGA

Start each day with 90 minutes of sunrise yoga – combining breathwork, meditation, and mindful movement to gently awaken the body and calm the mind.

This morning practice supports your circadian rhythm, reduces cortisol, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, setting the tone for grounded, focused energy.

In the evenings, unwind with deeply restorative yin yoga, designed to release tension and guide the body into rest.

Together, these daily sessions help regulate the nervous system, build resilience, and create space for true restoration.

healing through sound

Evening yin sessions are woven with immersive sound journeys using crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, enhancing the body’s natural ability to relax and release. These healing frequencies help shift brainwaves into slower states, supporting deep rest and nervous system regulation.

During the retreat, you’ll also experience a dedicated Tibetan bowl healing session – where bowls are placed on the body to deliver gentle, rhythmic vibrations that massage tissues, calm the mind, and promote energetic balance from the inside out.

BREATHWORK & CONTRAST THERAPY

Experience a guided breathwork session followed by cold plunge and sauna contrast therapy – designed to activate the vagus nerve, enhance heart rate variability, and shift your nervous system into a state of balance.

This combination promotes recovery, reduces stress, and supports emotional well-being.

You’ll also enjoy a one-hour full body massage, which helps reduce cortisol, relieve muscle tension, and improve circulation, leaving you feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.

MAKE YOUR OWN MALA

Japa Mala is a traditional and ancient meditation technique, using a rhythmic repetition with beads to enhance your single-pointed focus.

During the retreat, you’ll create your own mala beads using semi-precious gems from Sri Lanka, each chosen for its healing and spiritual properties. This mindful process becomes an act of intention setting, grounding you in the present moment.

You’ll then visit a local Buddhist temple, where your mala beads will be blessed, deepening your meditation practice and fostering a lasting sense of peace and presence.

Meditation is a powerful tool for regulating the nervous system, reducing stress, and enhancing emotional balance, with research showing its ability to rewire the brain for resilience and calm.

Experience a guided breathwork session in our brand new Wellness Suite* combining the breath with contrast therapy – cold plunge & sauna

*Wellness Suite available from June 2025, please contact us to enquire if it will be available during your stay

In this creative, meditative workshop, you’ll craft your own mala beads using semi-precious stones sourced from Sri Lanka.

As you string each bead, the process becomes a mindful ritual, allowing you to connect with your intentions and the healing properties of the stones. (And have something beautiful to take home with you!)

Take a peaceful journey to a local Buddhist temple, where you’ll use your newly crafted mala beads in a calming guided meditation, discover the wisdom of Buddhism, and have your beads blessed by the monks.

This transformative experience will deepen your understanding of the power of meditation, giving you the tools to bring this peaceful practice into your life at home.

Tibetan bowl therapy involves placing specially tuned singing bowls directly on the body, where their vibrations create a deep, resonant massage that helps release tension, balance energy, and promote relaxation.

The sound frequencies penetrate the tissues, calming the nervous system and supporting emotional healing.

(Either 1-1 or group depending on retreat group size)

Indulge in a relaxing 60-minute full body oil massage, designed to release tension, improve circulation, and leave you feeling deeply restored and rejuvenated.

TAMSIN

Hi, I’m Tamsin! I’ll be your retreat host at Talalla. My approach to yoga is rooted in the belief that yoga is for everyone, offering a practice that is inclusive, accessible, and free from the pressures of perfection.

Originally from Northern Ireland, I began my journey over a decade ago as a student, seeking balance while working as a creative in the fast-paced world of advertising. My time in the industry increased my awareness of the harrowing extent to which modern life perpetuates nervous system dysregulation. Through it all, yoga remained my sanctuary and reignited a deep passion for the practice, which led me to want to share its transformative power with others.

After completing my teacher training, I quickly established myself in the UK, building a dedicated following and creating a supportive community. In search of new horizons, I left the UK to expand my reach internationally, teaching in Bali, deepening my practice in India, and hosting retreats in Sri Lanka.

My teaching blends the timeless and traditional  wisdom of yoga with a modern, approachable style that is both sustainable and empowering. In my classes, you can expect clear guidance, a focus on breath and body awareness, and a reminder that sometimes, less truly means more – on and off the mat.

MIKEY

I’m Mikey, a passionate yoga, sound and breathwork facilitator from Canada, weaving my practice across the globe and creating transformative experiences wherever I go. With an E-RYT 500+ in Vinyasa and Ashtanga and over 100 hours of Yin training under my main teacher, Bernie Clark, my teaching blends anatomical awareness with interoceptive depth, guiding students toward embodied expansion through a trauma informed lens… always with a bit of cheeky fun to keep it accessible.

Breath and sound are at the heart of my work. Through pranayama and rebirthing breathwork, I create safe spaces for deep inner exploration, helping individuals navigate both light and shadow. Drawing from my past as a touring musician, I craft immersive soundscapes with my instruments, soothing the nervous system and fostering profound transformation. I look forward to the journeys ahead! Both physical and metaphysical.

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.

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.
