5-Day Beachside Yoga & Sound Healing Retreat in Beruwala, Sri Lanka

This 5-day retreat at Om Yoga Shala in Beruwala combines daily yoga practice with sound healing meditation, all set in a lush garden on the Bentota River. The program is designed to be accessible to all levels, with a focus on unblocking physical tension and quieting the mind.

Each day follows a gentle rhythm. Mornings begin with pranayama and a Hatha yoga class, which gets you ready for a relaxed breakfast. The middle of the day is free for optional activities like a full-body Ayurvedic massage, an excursion to the Kande Viharaya temple, or a river safari. As the heat of the day passes, you return to the shala for an afternoon session that introduces different styles—Yin, Vinyasa, or Ashtanga—followed by a sound healing meditation that uses vibrations to shift your brainwaves into a deep, restorative state.

The host, Roshan de Silva, is a Yoga Alliance-certified teacher with over 10 years of practice and a sound healing certification. He speaks English, Russian, and Sinhalese, and has been organizing retreats since 2011. He recently set up Om Yoga Shala as a dedicated space for yoga and sound healing, and it's the only center in the area offering these sessions.

The accommodation is simple and comfortable, with garden-view rooms featuring private balconies, A/C, and en-suite bathrooms. Location is a highlight: the retreat is just a 10-minute walk to Moragalla Beach, and close to local attractions like the Kande Viharaya Temple and Bentota town. It's a peaceful spot that feels a world away from the busy coastal areas, yet everything you need is nearby.
