Sri Lanka, our tropical island home
A personal invitation...
​MARCH 15th- 20th 2025 | 5 Nights | All inclusive
Living on an Island is all about forgoing conveniences, slowing down and being closer to nature...
​
This retreat is aimed at bringing together our community - whether you are a post graduate, student or old friend of Barefoot Yoga School, this is an invitation to come and join us in our tropical island home.
​
We have spent many hours studying and practicing with our community - so this time it's about creating connections and enjoying time together on and off the mat! It's time to put the textbooks aside!
​
This beautiful Buddhist country will inspire nature lovers, tingle the taste buds of foodies, invigorate those who love mindful movement, incite seekers of natural medicines and fulfil desires for slow living. ​
​
This retreat is about connecting to nature, island life, getting grounded and feeling nurtured. Just let this special place work its magic on you...
​
As a way of truly embracing the island life, we will be connecting to the local community working with local practitioners & villagers whom have the knowledge to teach us their mindful ways and inspire a slower pace of life...
