Yoga tour to Sri Lanka
SRI LANKA - a country of pleasant discoveries, spiritual prosperity and boundless beauties
Sri Lanka — translated from Sanskrit means “Blessed Land”. A fabulous island in the Indian Ocean, where palm forests, tea plantations and a warm ocean breeze are amazingly combined.
This is an island where the practice of yoga and service to the Higher Forces has been revered since Vedic times. The King of Lanka himself, Ravana, practiced austerities and yoga here, as a result of which he gained the gift of invulnerability from Brahma and immortality from Shiva.
In the III century BC. e. the teachings of the Buddha penetrated the island, and today more than 70% of the island’s population professes Buddhism (mainly Theravada). Sri Lanka has preserved many temples and stupas, which have the strongest energy and spiritual significance for the followers of Vedic knowledge.

The spiritual atmosphere in the places where the yoga tour is held is one of the key conditions for quality practice, relaxation of the mind and body. For our yoga tour in Sri Lanka, we have selected the most interesting and energetically strong places
We take care of time, as well as emotional, mental and physical stress during a yoga tour, therefore:
Rhythm yoga retreat calm

Accommodation in retreat centers and resorts
The schedule of travel around the island is balanced - you will always have the opportunity to sleep and relax. Spiritual practices at the yoga retreat are suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
Complete nutrition
To restore strength, we will eat regularly and fully. The island is rich in various fruits and exotic berries - we will definitely try them all. During the yoga retreat, we recommend abstaining from alcohol and meat, and teach you how to eat well without animal proteins.
Our main task during yoga tours is to switch your mind to another reality and distract yourself from everydayhome and workeveryday life. Every day, in the hustle and bustle of the modern world order, we are exposed to stress, there is a lot of noise and “running around” that negatively affect us, regardless of whether we want it or not.
Stress reduces immunity, weakens our nervous system and further down the chain …
Over the past 10 years, there have been many studies on the effects of yoga on the human body, and among these studies there were several that studied the degree of connection of stress tolerance and immunity with yoga and meditation practices. Interestingly, various studies have confirmed that those people who were on a yoga retreat and practiced various spiritual techniques had a stronger psyche and the effect of a “rested mind” lasted several times longer compared to those who did not do anything spiritual on vacation. . The same was true with regard to health – people from a yoga retreat fell ill less often and later than those who did not engage in spiritual practices on vacation.
Based on our experience, previous retreats, feedback from people and research, we organize time and practices in our yoga tours and retreats in such a way that you always have the opportunity to get in touch with external beauties, and immerse yourself in your inner world, and communicate with like-minded people, and retire.
