You were wondering what even happens during the day at our Yoga & Surf Retreats and if it’s actually what you need during your stay with you?
Hi, I’m Ella one of the founders of Sun & Sea Rituals and your host in the Yoga & Surf Retreats in Sri Lanka. I’m happy you found this article, because I’m gonna give you a rough overview on what will be awaiting you at these Yoga & Surf Retreats.
I’m talking slow mornings filled with yoga practices, nourishing breakfasts, good talks, beach time, inspiring workshops to reconnect with yourself, exploring the slow life of Sri Lanka’s stunning culture and chill evenings to fully recharge yourself.
Whether you are solo travelling or coming together with a loved one of yours, we created a schedule that gives you enough space to connect with yourself but also make beautiful connections with the other participants.
Our mornings usually start between 7.00 am with our first Yoga class of the day. Mostly the morning practice is more activating and focused on preparing your body and mind for the day ahead of you. You don’t have to have any experience when you come to the Retreat, we will guide you through it all from the start. We are going to introduce you to breathework, different yoga styles as well as Meditations. After our yoga practice we will give you some time to journal and take time to get ready for the day.
Around 09.00am we will have a nourishing breakfast together. We want to introduce you to a typical Sri Lankan dietary such as Ayurvedic nutrition. But it will always be with a combination of Western food. We have time to get to know each other, embrace the stunning nature at our Villa and share beautiful moments together.
You have time to go to the beach around 10.00ish, explore the small street of the coastal town we are staying in and enjoy your time in the tropics. On 3 days of the week, our local surf instructor Arindu will introduce you into the adventures of the Ocean. Whether you are a total beginner or already familiar with some surf basics, everyone is welcome. You will learn all about it and deepen your knowledge about the ocean and surfing in 1 surf theory class and 1 video analysis, where Arindu will explain you how to become more comfortable in the water.
There is enough time for you to rest, slow down and digest after the lesson. We will show you some great lunch spot that you can try out or you could simply enjoy your time at our Villa.
After recharging fully a creative Workshop or activities around town such as Sauna & Ice Bath will await you around 4.30pm. We might visit one of the beautiful Buddhist Temples, go onto an adventurous River Safari or learn more about the different parts Yoga includes.
It is already time for our beautiful sunset. Another calming Yoga practice awaits you at our house. Evenings are filled with some slow yoga, like Yin Yoga, Restorative or even Yoga Nidra. You will receive and have time to feel and heal.
Either a delicious dinner will be prepared for you at our Villa or we will bring you to one of our favourite local restaurants in town. Time to enjoy ourselves, fuel our bodies and share moments of love and community.
Before heading to bed we might get together for healings such as soothing meditations, connection circles or a little surprise activity to end the day in full relaxation.
This sounds like your dream day?
Then, it’s time to sign up for one of the Retreat spots that are still available in January or February 2027. In our Store you can find your dream room and decide to show up for yourself in the new year and reconnect with who you are ready to become.
