When you travel, taking part in yoga is a great way to enhance your wellness while exploring new and exciting parts of the world. Here's your chance to be a part of the international Yoga community and immerse yourself in yoga, while you're in Sri Lanka.
If you're seeking wanderlust and love a bit of travelling and discovering new places – this is great for your bucket list and yourself! Sri Lanka is located in the global south, and is an island packed with unending adventures suiting all types of adventure-seekers! Sri Lanka is not usually anyone's first choice for yoga, especially with Bali, Thailand and Mexico in existence but who's to say it's not a good destination for a wellness retreat? Yoga is certainly not new to this homely island, as there are several yoga establishments dotted around the country. If you search for a wellness resort in Kalutara, you are sure to find Anantara Kalutara Resort a great escape to practise your yoga.
Sri Lanka truly boasts unmatched landscapes. If you're looking for lush green mountains, blue turquoise waters, fairy-tale like forests or even the city – the island has it all and more. You can practice your yoga where you please, with whatever scenery that you wish to see ahead of you. Sri Lanka is home to several beautiful luxury properties, but if you're seeking something simpler, you are sure to find it if you look enough. Immerse yourself in nature!
Yoga and Ayurveda are two peas in a pod and share many of the very same philosophies and practices – so you can study all about the art of Ayurveda and take some of that very important information back home with you. In fact, Sri Lanka is one of the top countries in the world to explore the art of Ayurveda – so don't miss out on that opportunity. Many therapists complete years of training in order to treat patients at Ayurveda centres and clinics, so you're in good hands!
While Sri Lanka boasts amazing properties, resorts and hotels dotted all around the island, there are plenty of other types of accommodations too. If you want a humble holiday without going all out, this is most definitely a possibility! There are plenty of guest houses, Air bnbs, smaller hotels and rental properties suiting every budget. Nevertheless, it is best to check the place out physically before you make a decision or payments.
A fact that is uncommon is that yoga benefits surfers in many ways and conversely, surfing is a great sport to complement your yoga practice. If you have never tried to surf before, Sri Lanka is a great place to begin this adventure. You will need some amount of practicing, but there are plenty of surf schools that will help you out. It is a truly exhilarating experience and there's a whole surfing community in Sri Lanka.
