Flying out Sat 28th October and leaving Tuesday 7th November

I am very excited to bring you to Sri Lanka for the very first time. We will enjoy yoga sessions in the morning and evening, have a few ayurvedic talks with yours truly. 4 trips to cultural sites and you even get to try some ayurvedic treatments with the resident ayurvedic doctor. The theme for our flow yoga sessions and talks is on ayurveda, the five elements and creating balance (in our yoga practise and in life!). Talks on introduction to ayurveda, the basics and how we can use ayurveda in yoga and to support our diet, health and wellbeing. But you will have plenty of time to relax and join the included sightseeing.
