WELLNESS
RETREAT
Welcome to the Talalla Wellness Retreat
Talalla – a place where real change begins.
Over the seven nights and eight days, you’re stepping out of your normal life and into something deeper. This is not a holiday in disguise. It’s a reset. A chance to move your body, challenge old patterns, and reconnect with what actually makes you feel alive.
Through yoga, Pilates, pranayama, stillness, and time in nature, we’ll ask you to show up – for your body, your mind, and yourself. Some moments will be gentle. Some will be uncomfortable. That’s where growth lives.
You’ll also rest, eat beautifully, swim in the ocean, and laugh with new friends. But this week is about more than switching off — it’s about tuning in and creating real, lasting change.
Welcome to the work.
Welcome to the shift.
Welcome to Talalla.
yoga
Morning yoga is a core part of the retreat and is led by our experienced teachers. Sessions are accessible, well-structured, and designed to support strength, mobility, and presence.
The retreat also includes two aerial yoga sessions, offering a deeply restorative experience that helps release tension, decompress the spine, and support relaxation.
Pilates by the Ocean
Move into a reformer Pilates session in our ocean-view studio. Here, mindful movement meets functional strength as you build stability, improve posture, and realign your body.
This is your time to feel strong, supported, and deeply connected to your body.
sound healing
The retreat includes two restorative group sound healing sessions designed to support deep rest and relaxation.
Through carefully guided sound and stillness, these sessions help release tension, calm the nervous system, and create space for integration in a supportive group setting.
Bath House Journey
During the retreat, you’ll have the chance to spend time in Talalla’s Bath House, which includes sauna, steam, cold plunge, and the magnesium pool.
Heat therapy supports recovery and relaxation, while the cold plunge sharpens presence and builds resilience. Floating in the magnesium pool is the perfect finishing touch for a deeply restorative experience.
Together, these elements help clear tension, restore balance, and leave you feeling grounded, refreshed, and energised.
Kundalini Energy Session
You’ll experience gentle, feminine-based Kundalini energy session designed to help you slow down, rest, and receive.
Using breath, subtle movement, and deep relaxation, this session supports your system in releasing tension and restoring balance — often bringing emotional clarity, a lighter body, and a renewed sense of aliveness.
Bike Tour & Temple Visit
You’ll enjoy a scenic e-bike ride through Sri Lanka’s countryside, including a peaceful stop by a lake, before finishing with a visit to a local Buddhist temple. Along the way, you’ll glimpse Sunday school activities and take part in a short meditation at the Buddhist temple.

RETREAT FAQS
CAN I COME ON MY OWN?
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.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
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.
DO I HAVE TO BE GOOD AT YOGA TO COME?
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.
WHAT TIME OF YEAR IS THE BEST TO COME?
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.
WILL I HAVE ANY FREE TIME?
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.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
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.
