Lanka Yoga is surrounded by nature, tranquil and lush yet centrally located providing you with the perfect balance for your retreat. The abundance of plant and animal life is a testament to Sri Lanka’s rich biodiversity.

Located on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, where the weather is warm and tropical year-round. There are two main seasons - November to March being the dry season. The weather is mostly clear and sunny, and the beaches are at their best. The surf is ideal around this time, attracting many surfers to our area.

The yoga shala is nestled amongst the trees and offers a backdrop of birdsong throughout your practice. It is fully equipped with yoga mats and props so you won't need to travel with yours.
