8-Day Yoga and Wellness Journey Through Sri Lanka's Mountains and Coast

The retreat begins in the mountains at Glenross Living, a former tea plantation tucked into the hills of Kalutara district. The estate has been carefully restored, blending colonial architecture with contemporary design. From here, you'll explore the surrounding countryside—visiting tea and cinnamon plantations, seeing how rubber is harvested, and meeting local farmers who share their fruit. Mornings start with meditation and a yoga session on a deck overlooking the hills, followed by a hearty vegetarian breakfast.

Twice a day, you'll gather for yoga and pranayama, with Thomas leading conscious breathing sessions and Myriam guiding the physical practice. The program adapts to the season, so when the sun rises early, there might be a meditative walk before class. Evenings bring guided meditations or sharing circles, and the group often gathers for dinner in the estate's dining room.

Midway through, you'll transfer to the coast and Aditya Resort, a boutique hotel where every suite has its own plunge pool or jacuzzi. Here, the focus shifts to ocean air and golden light. You'll visit the Sri Sudharmalaya Buddhist Temple, explore the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort, and have time to shop for tea and cinnamon. One afternoon is set aside for a mixology workshop, where you learn to blend fresh juices.

The retreat ends with a farewell dinner right on the beach, complete with music and the sound of waves. Throughout the week, there are cold baths—something the hosts describe as excellent for circulation and the immune system—and a one-hour massage is included for every guest. Extra treatments can be booked on-site.

Myriam's background in sport and holistic health shapes the whole experience. She brings a precise, attentive approach to each session, while Thomas adds his expertise in the Wim Hof Method, Reiki, and QiGong. Together, they create a week that feels personal rather than scripted, with space for quiet reflection and genuine connection to the place.
