✨ “The best yoga retreat in the world” – Observer
(1)

Ulpotha is a traditional working village in Sri Lanka where for part of the year guests can practice yoga, enjoy traditional therapeutic treatments, or just soak up the serene atmosphere of this magical otherworld. Check out our upcoming yoga holidays under Events or go straight to the web site - www.ulpotha.com - which has tons of information. "Ulpotha is a discovery - it tells you things you sim

ply cannot hear from a distance..." The property is a beautiful private hideaway open to guests for part of the year; a place of total peace, where you can experience the warm, generous and gentle hospitality Sri Lankans love to offer. In this sense, Ulpotha is not a hotel and does not aspire to be one. Guests who come to Ulpotha will find a natural sanctuary of exceptional beauty, where the main activity is simply relaxing in its remarkable atmosphere of peace and calm while indulging in feasts of exquisite organic cuisine. However for those more purposeful in nature, Yoga and local therapies are available, as are excursions to surrounding sites of archeological interest. The yoga classes are led by some of the world's leading Yoga teachers, while the Ayurveda is administered by an acclaimed resident doctor. This oasis of tranquility is a traditional working village, cradled on one side by low mountains and a lotus ringed lake, and on the other by emerald green paddy fields. The bio-diversity of Ulpotha is extraordinary, with flora, fauna and bird life of dazzling variety. Animal life is equally varied, with even wild (but gentle) elephants visiting from time to time.

We asked owner Giles what he thinks is the best thing about Ulpotha. It won’t surprise you to hear that it’s not only about the location but about the people, the villagers, their outlook on life and ability to live each moment in time without thinking about the next. We seem to have lost that in the west - coming to Ulpotha allows you to do just that 🌱🪷🌴

Dansala is the Sinhala word for giving food. On the Vesak full moon, 🌕 which this year falls on Saturday 30 May, villages across Sri Lanka set up roadside stalls and feed anyone who passes. No money changes hands. The Buddhist principle behind it is dana, generosity, one of the three things a person can do in their life to earn merit.

The women of the village have been cooking since the night before. By the time the first cars stop on Vesak morning, the rice has been on the fire for hours, the curry is ready, the kiribath is wrapped in banana leaves and stacked, and the tea is waiting in metal pots.

The food comes from the Ulpotha estate and the kitchen - it’s organic and vegan 🌱🪷🌴.

Embodying the deeper philosophy of yoga as a marriage between mind, body, and spirit, at she will teach both in the yoga shala and take advantage of all the beautiful natural environments around us. She not only brings a powerful yet fluid yoga practice to her students, she also encourages you to deeply listen to your body’s different needs and learn how to move from the inside out to create more space, ease, and grace both on the mat and in your everyday life.

Each morning in Ulpotha she will lead you through a deep, slow, fluid, soft yet strong yoga practice to stretch the body and calm the mind based on the 5 Cardinal Elements that are the foundation of all Vedic Teachings. Focusing on flow, alignment, body awareness, and expansion to cultivate grace, she will encourage you to respect and listen to your own body using a holistic approach to yoga as a way of being.

Afternoon sessions will vary between Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Somatic Dance Sessions. Dance is a huge part of the Vedas and Hindu culture. She will guide you to play with this energy to create more liberation in the body.

We have many solo travellers coming to Ulpotha to soak up the magic of the jungle and nature. Not everyone comes here for the yoga or to make friends. Some arrive exhausted and in tears without knowing why. The hug of Ulpotha has this effect on many of you. You arrive alone, anxious, as a guest and within days are swept up into the community making friends without even trying. This is the magic of Ulpotha, naturally healing, naturally life changing. 🌱🪷
