Upcoming Retreats

RESET RETREAT

04 - 11 February 2022
12 - 19 February 2022

Join East of Eden, renowned yoga and Pilates studios in London, and the incredible yoga teacher EryckBrahmania, for 2 yoga retreats at Salt House in Sri Lanka: February 4-11 and 12-19 2022.

There will be 2 workshops a day: a morning sadhana, comprising meditation and mantra, as well as a strong dynamic flow, focused around a theme. Then each evening, there will be workshops going deeper on specific poses, meditation and mantra, kundalini kriyas and yin yoga. The open air Shala lifts you into the treetops of the surrounding jungle, and you’ll often see curious monkeys watching you as you practise.

As well as the yoga, you can choose tosurf at sunrise on Hiriketiya beach next to the property, sunbathe, swim and watch the sunset at Dikwella beach around the headland, have a blissful massage, or take a trip whale watching or a safari toUdawalawe National Park.
Food is included – delicious vegetarian Sri Lankan buffet style dinner and a big brunch after morning practise daily.

Set in the luxurious paradise of Hiriketiya bay in Sri Lanka – gentle sloping golden sand and a great beach to surf from, with an onsite pool and an open-air treetop yoga shala, join us to move, breathe, connect with new people, relax, and process the 2 years we have all just lived through. We last ran a retreat here in February 2020, so to be back here will feel like we have come full circle.

SEEKING STILLNESS
SRI LANKA

16 - 23 November 2022

Seeking Stillness is pleased to return to Salt House, Hiriketiya for a 7-night yoga retreat with Joanna. This little gem is a real treasure of a hideaway – off the beaten track and away from the hustle and bustle – you can escape in paradise among the palm trees for a week of yoga, delicious food, and stunning scenery. We were last here in 2019 and can’t wait to return – it really is our favorite retreat destination.

Each day expect an early yoga practice in the open-air shala, surrounded by the jungle where you can watch the monkeys playing through the trees. After practice there’s a delicious, hearty buffet-style brunch, leaving you the rest of the day to be a tourist and explore the local area, surf, sunbathe or take a massage. We end the day at sunset by gathering for late afternoon/evening yoga, where the fireflies light up the trees, before sharing our evening meal together. All meals are vegetarian.

Locally there’s much to do: you can visit stunning temples, go whale watching, or take a safari at the nearby animal sanctuary park. Or you can stay on-site to make use of the pool, excellent smoothies, and tranquil garden. Hiriketiya beach is perfect for swimming and surfing – unspoiled and perfect in every way.

This is a retreat in paradise that’s not to be missed.

Cathi’s yoga Retreat

17th – 28th OCTOBER 2020

We all have times when we struggle to find time for ourselves. As a consequence we lose touch with ourselves, we forget what really makes us happy and how we find contentment. Come join me in magical Ceylon for 7 days of reconnection with your body and soul. Daily yoga, healthy vegetarian food and Sri Lanka’s exotic aura will refocus you on what really matters, likeminded people and warm tropical breezes. Surfing and Yoga are a match made in Shangri-La. Both require you to be present, aware of your surroundings and how your body feels. If you always wanted to give surfing a go or if you already have some experience in the water you will not be disappointed. The retreat is ideally located in the southwest corner of Sri Lanka, consistent waves in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Aside from the fun wave only a few minutes walk from the retreat base, there are many other waves in the surrounding area, guidance will be given! I look forward to sharing a few waves with you all. But surfing is of course an optional part of the retreat. Maybe you just want to relax and let somebody else do the work. Sri Lanka is fast gaining a reputation for its Ayurvedic spa treatments. Available day and night, a sensuous way to wind down the day. Included in the retreat package is a complementary 60min Ayurvedic Massage in house. For more info please contact us.
