Sri Yoga Shala is a holistic retreat centre inspired by our passion for yoga, meditation, bodywork and the (healing) Arts. Built with love and the intention to create synergy between the traditional and contemporary, this is a space for nourishment and growth for the body, mind and heart that aims to serve both the local and international community. 

“…Sri is the name given to the divine feminine that manifests in so many forms around this wonderful universe. It is believed in the Vedic tradition that Sri is indeed the power that creates, nourishes, protects, heals and eventually liberates. She also expresses herself as energy and pervades through every being, bringing light and life, knowledge and illumination, purity and sacredness…” (Krishnamacharya Healing & Yoga Foundation) 

‘Yoga’ in Sanskrit means ‘to yoke’, or to bring together. ‘Shala’ translates into ‘place to practice’. We are delighted to be hosting yoga and meditation in Galle Fort during the Festival, and look forward to hopefully welcoming you to our jungle sanctuary!
