✨ “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.

Ayurveda is a key part of the Ulpotha experience. In fact many of you come here just for that. We’re not just a yoga retreat and you don’t even have to do any yoga! Come for the yoga, stay for the Ayurveda or combine the two for a truly holistic retreat in the Sri Lankan jungle. 🌱🪷🌴

Gilly died a week ago, at nine and a half. This morning the kitchen cooked her a meal and we took it to the temple.

This is daane, an almsgiving. The food has to arrive before midday and the monks eat first. They chanted pirith and gave a short sermon on impermanence.

Then the water. A jug poured slowly into a cup that was already full, and kept pouring while it ran down the sides. Buddhists hold that animals cannot change their own karma because they cannot act on it. So the merit has to come from the living. The overflowing cup is that. 💔🪷🌱

Time in nature 🌴this unhurried, this unmediated, has a way of returning you to a much slower pace. Most guests feel it within a few days of arriving at Ulpotha. Some of you tell us that you feel it sooner than that. 🌱🪷

12,000 of you. We keep looking at that number and not quite believing it.

What strikes us most is not the number itself but what it represents: 12,000 people who already know, or are starting to suspect, that the most restorative thing you can do with two weeks is not lie on a beach with a cocktail but go somewhere that asks something real of you. Somewhere with no electricity, food pulled from the earth that morning, a lake to swim in, and enough quiet to hear yourself think for the first time in months.

Ulpotha is not for everyone, and it has never tried to be. Which makes finding this many of you, here, genuinely moving.

To those who have been and come back to tell us about it: thank you. 🙏 To those still saving, still planning, still watching the reels and feeling something stir: it is real, and it will still be there when you are ready.

Here is to 12,000 people who understand the difference between a holiday and a return to yourself. 🙏🌿

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself lately, or if you’re tired of holding it all together and being the strong one, or if there’s even a silent voice asking you, is there more to life? This retreat with is an invitation to slow down, to exhale, to feel yourself deeply, to connect to the parts of you that felt alive, to gather around other like-minded women doing the inner work.It is an invitation to slow down, to exhale, to feel yourself deeply, to connect to the parts of you that felt alive, to gather around other like-minded women doing the inner work.

Soulful talks, uplifting stories, meditation, dance, sharing circles and more, all surrounded by nature at Ulpotha this October 22-25. 🌱🪷

There is a reason we are called human beings and not human doings, though most of us have forgotten this entirely and live as though the opposite were true.

We have spent centuries convincing ourselves that stillness is something you have to earn. That you have to get through the list first, clear the inbox, finish the season, book the flight, and then, finally, you can stop.

At Ulpotha you can do yoga, or you can sit by the tank and watch the light change on the water for an hour. You can have a treatment, or lie in your hut or in the swing and listen to the forest. You can swim, talk, read, walk, or simply be the warm, breathing, human being that you are, with nowhere to be and nothing to prove. The choice, at Ulpotha, genuinely, is yours.
