Retreats Sri Lanka
Ayurveda, yoga and wellness retreats in Sri Lanka
Our Ayurveda, yoga and wellness retreats in Sri Lanka are group stays of 12 to 14 nights at Yasmin Hill, a small resort in the hills above Kandy. Each retreat is led by experienced teachers, mostly from the Czech Republic, and combines their program with Ayurvedic care, wholesome food and the quiet of the jungle. For the 2026/27 season we have prepared:
- New Year’s Conscious Awakening with Joska Šálek (27 Dec 2026 – 10 Jan 2027): a New Year retreat in the hills and by the sea, including a fire-walking ritual;
- Awaken Your Inner Qi (1–13 Feb 2027): Zhineng Qi Gong and Ayurveda with Master Liu Jianshe, Vladislav Horecký and Lenka Melicharová;
- The Rhythm Within (15–28 Feb 2027): craniosacral therapy and Ayurveda with Radek Neškrabal, Tereza Winklerová and Lenka Melicharová;
- Leadership Recharge (1–14 Mar 2027): a retreat for leaders with Marian Jelínek, Petr Horký and Tereza Winklerová.
Our yoga, travel and Ayurveda retreat (January 2027) is fully booked; you can join the waiting list.
Please note that this season’s retreats are held in Czech. If you would prefer a stay in English, an individual Ayurvedic program of 7 to 21 days may suit you better – you choose the dates and are looked after by our resident Ayurvedic doctor. Retreat prices start at USD 2,100 for 13 nights, including accommodation, meals and the full program.

Retreat FAQ
Everything you need to know before booking a retreat in Sri Lanka.
A retreat is a stay of several days or weeks away from everyday life, built around a theme, a daily program and an experienced teacher. Unlike an ordinary holiday, you share practice, meals and time with a small group and take home habits you can continue. Our retreats in Sri Lanka last 12 to 14 nights, and most of them combine the teachers’ program with Ayurvedic care.
Accommodation, meals and the full program with the teachers are always included. The February and March retreats include organic full board and Kangen water; The Rhythm Within and Leadership Recharge also include transfers, and Leadership Recharge adds consultations with an Ayurvedic doctor and daily therapies. The New Year retreat includes a stay by the sea, all transfers and a Czech guide. Flights are paid separately.
Yes. A retreat is an excellent way to travel on your own: shared practice, meals and group sessions help you connect quickly, while still leaving plenty of time for yourself. Groups have a maximum of 20 to 30 participants. Before you register, check the room type (private or shared) and any single supplement on the retreat page, or simply ask us.
No. Most of our 2026/27 retreats do not centre on yoga at all: they focus on Qi Gong, craniosacral therapy, breath and body work, or leadership. Previous experience is not required unless the retreat page says otherwise. You will find the intensity of each retreat (relaxing or balanced) in the filter. If you have any health limitations, write to us and we will check with the teacher.
Our 2026/27 retreats start at USD 2,100 for 13 nights (The Rhythm Within). Awaken Your Inner Qi costs USD 2,150 for 12 nights and Leadership Recharge USD 4,300 for 13 nights; the New Year retreat is priced in Czech crowns at CZK 49,000 for 14 nights (prices as of October 2026). Accommodation, meals and the program are included; flights are extra.
This season’s retreats are held in Czech and led by Czech teachers, joined by Master Liu Jianshe for the Qi Gong retreat. If you don’t speak Czech, an individual Ayurvedic program may suit you better: you choose your dates and are looked after by our resident Ayurvedic doctor, with the same accommodation and food. Write to us at retreats@yasminhill.com and we will help you choose.
