Sri Lanka Retreat with Sean Robinson

Once home for Sean for 3 years, he believes that he will live in Sri Lanka again once his time in Hong Kong comes to an end. Words do no justice to the serenity of the retreat centre. There are no words to describe how special the island is, how delicious the food is and how incredibly welcoming the people are – you will have to come see for yourself! It’d be an honour for Sean to be able to teach yoga to a dedicated community in his favourite place, Rukgala, Kandy.

So, what can you expect?

Two to three yoga sessions a day. All, of course, optional. Yang mornings and Yin evenings.

• 7:30am: Coffee (or tea) on the deck overlooking the mountains.
• 8am: A strong morning practice, followed by a dip in the saltwater pool.
• 9:30am: A fresh and colourful breakfast buffet
• 10:30am: Time to yourself; choose solitude or socialise, paddle board or swim, take a hike or a nap.
• 1pm: Nutritious and delicious lunch – Eat light, we will be practising again.
• 2pm: Nap, read, float in the pool or around the grounds.
• 4pm: After some time to digest we meet again in the jungle Shala for Sean’s favourite time of the day – nerd time. We will dig deep into the science of breathing and explore some useful (and actionable) anatomy.
• 5pm: A softer, slower, and more gentle practice to wind down. Expect long-held stretches and therapy balls.
• 6pm: It’s time for sunset and to head up to “coconut ridge”.
• 7:30pm: Hungry? Good. Dinner is family style. A wholesome meal around a huge wooden table.
• 9pm: The night is to be spent as you wish; stargazing, socialising or most probably, sleeping.

The next day? We get to do it all again.

Times are approximate.

Activities include sunrise hikes in the hills, paddle boarding in a natural lake, Sri Lankan cooking and art therapy.
