KANDY, SRI LANKA
7-11 FEBRUARY 2027

Escape the winter and immerse yourself in the warm sunshine and natural beauty of the mountains of Kandy, Sri Lanka. Join us for a 5-day yoga retreat surrounded by jungle, mountains and the beautiful waters of Victoria Lake.

February is one of the best times to visit this part of Sri Lanka, with warm, sunny days perfect for outdoor yoga, time in nature and exploring. Practise yoga twice a day with Sheida Mas, in a beautiful open-air shala overlooking Victoria Lake and the jungle. Mornings begin with an energising Vinyasa Yoga practice, while evenings are dedicated to restorative Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra and meditation, creating the perfect balance between staying active and allowing yourself to slow down and settle into a more restful pace.

This Kandy yoga retreat is also an opportunity to experience authentic Sri Lankan culture and connect with the local way of life. With a local team at the retreat centre and delicious Sri Lankan food prepared throughout your stay, you’ll have the chance to experience the warmth, flavours and traditions of the island.

Beyond the yoga, enjoy a range of Sri Lanka retreat activities and experiences, including pottery, mandala making, a guided jungle hike, a waterfall, a visit to the rice fields and a Hindu temple, and a trip to the closest city for some local shopping. 

This Sri Lanka yoga and wellness retreat is an invitation to slow down, switch off and reconnect with yourself, surrounded by nature, sunshine and the peaceful mountains of Kandy. Return home feeling refreshed, grounded and inspired.

THE RETREAT CENTRE

Our beautiful retreat centre sits within a 12-acre private estate in Sri Lanka’s Knuckles Mountain Range, surrounded by jungle, mountain air and beautiful views over Victoria Lake.

It is a peaceful place to slow down, rest and reconnect with nature. The accommodation is comfortable and thoughtfully designed to keep you connected to the beautiful surroundings, while giving you everything you need for a relaxing and restorative stay.

Our shala and rooms enjoy spectacular views of Victoria Lake, and the property features plenty of calm spaces to relax, including a pool with jungle and lake views, a steam bed and a meditation shala.

The retreat centre offers the perfect setting to switch off from everyday life and fully embrace the slower pace of island living.

MEET YOUR HOST

Hi, I’m Sheida. For many years, yoga was my me-time. It was how I took care of myself while working in the highly competitive world of professional dance. But in 2021, after almost 20 years dedicated to dance, I realised yoga was too important not to share. I became a Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra teacher and started sharing my love for movement, wellness, travel and community through my yoga classes, workshops and retreats. And I’ve loved every minute of this journey ever since!

My first trip to Sri Lanka was an impulsive one. After spending quite a long time without travelling outside London, I found myself craving a break from the noise and demands of city life and more time surrounded by nature. Sri Lanka gave me exactly the reset I needed.

I then spent a whole month teaching yoga at this retreat centre, and the experience was incredibly grounding and inspiring. Waking up surrounded by jungle, mountains and Victoria Lake, practising in the shala overlooking the lake, enjoying delicious Sri Lankan food and getting to know the wonderful local team reminded me just how much I needed to slow down and reconnect with the simpler things in life.

I loved my time here so much that I knew I had to share it with you. I cannot wait to return and share this very special place with you. See you in paradise soon.
