Sri Lanka Yoga + Surf 5-Night Retreat

This November, we return to Sri Lanka for five restorative nights filled with yoga, meditation, surfing, and the rich flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine.

Polly and Kellee will guide two classes each day. Mornings begin with a flowing practice that weaves together meditation and mantra, followed by a strong dynamic flow or somatic movement session built around a central theme. In the afternoon or evening, you’ll be invited into a deeply nourishing yin, meditation, restorative class, or sound bath. The open-air shala sits among the treetops of the surrounding jungle, where curious monkeys are often seen watching the practice unfold.

Beyond the mat, there is plenty of time to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Surf lessons are offered at Hiriketiya Beach beside the property, while Dikwella Beach is ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and sunset watching around the headland. Guests can also enjoy a blissful massage, swim with turtles, or join a cooking experience at Rosie’s Kitchen.

Her classes are designed to build strength with intention, encourage mindful movement, and create space to reconnect through breath and movement, all while keeping a sense of playfulness at the heart of the experience.

Her classes are designed to leave you feeling moved, centred, and revitalised. Kellee is passionate about people and about facilitating experiences that elevate wellbeing and transform lives. Her holistic approach supports reconnection to body, mind, and soul through movement, pranayama, meditation, and Reiki.
