Join me in Sri Lanka, the land of epic beaches and pristine national parks, surfing and safaris, elephants, whales and sea turtles.  Sri Lanka is a mythical and magical location included in the great hero’s story of Hanuman’s great leap to rescue Sita, and to save love.  It is also said to be magnetically and energetically ideal for meditation and spiritual growth, and from my experience is a place where it is easy to feel possibility and inspiration.

Choose this yoga and meditation retreat to finish out your year with play, self-care and community, and to leap into 2026 with renewed inspiration and direction.   Invest in your personal growth and potential, take time to experience natural beauty in a new land, practice yoga twice daily. Experience meditation and breath work that support your process as you ground into what you’ve learned as you close out this year. Then open your horizons to what you want to create and experience in the New Year to come.
