MOUNTAINS + MYTHS
SRI LANKA YOGA RETREAT
OCTOBER 4-11, 2025
Sri Lanka is blessed with breathtaking natural beauty, from lush rainforests and mountain ranges to tea plantations and hidden waterfalls.
It offers a depth of beauty and spirituality like no other.
This island nation provides an idyllic back drop to delight the senses with yoga asana and meditation practices steeped in mythology.
Experience Sri Lankan culture, cuisine amongst beautiful mountains for an unforgettable yoga retreat experience.
Join Sara for an unforgettable 7-day boutique yoga retreat in the cultural center of Sri Lanka.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, surrounded by lush mountains and tea plantations, not to mention the serenity of Rukgala, our retreat home on the shores of Lake Victoria.
Enjoy optional hikes to tucked away waterfalls and mountain peaks or stay put and soak up the surrounds of our boutique retreat. Discover ancient Buddhist caves on foot and travel like a local by train and tuk-tuk!
With 360-degree views of the mountains and a breathtaking open-air yoga Shala to enrich your practice, you will feel worlds away but ever present to experience tranquility and connection in this island paradise.
More of a converted house than a hotel we have comfortable chill-out spaces around Ruk. The Top House has a little reading room that opens out to the deck with great views (a really nice place to be in the early morning). The deck itself serves as probably the main spot for eating, drinking and generally hanging out.

The Yoga Shala
A purpose built yoga Shala sits on the grounds of Rukgala offering ample space to explore twice daily yoga asana and meditation practices. Morning practices will be fluid, a moving mythology where we move through the stories of Hanuman, Ram + Sita.
Evening practices will be quiet and introspective, enjoying deep rest accompanied by more storytelling and yoga Nidra to set you up for sleep!
And it wouldn’t be a Bloom retreat if there weren’t props! This beautiful Shala is fully equipped with mats, blocks, belts and bolsters so we can make the most of our practice.

About Your Host
A senior yoga teacher who has lovingly guided students into their bodies through asana for more than 15 years. Sara brings both warmth and wisdom to all of her classes; cleverly weaving philosophy, the use of yoga props and her one of a kind humour to give a grounding and yet open-hearted experience for all practitioners.
More than a yoga teacher, Sara is an intrepid world traveller! Having explored many corners of this big wide world, Sara first travelled to Sri Lanka with her husband and son in 2009, it was here that her son celebrated his first birthday and a few days later where he learned to crawl!
In fact it was whilst practicing yoga in Sri Lanka that Sara made the decision to undertake the study of yoga upon her return to Perth - which she did in March of 2009!
Sri Lanka is a delight to the senses: sights, smells and tastes abound! This country is not only rich in it’s culture and culinary delights, but it’s people make you feel as though this your home - and trust me when I say you will have a hard time leaving!
I can’t wait to experience Sri Lanka with you!
