"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." – Margaret J. Wheatley
This story isn't just about Mindful Retreats; it's about you and the impact we can create together. While wellness has become a booming industry, it's easy to lose sight of its true essence in the rush to commercialize retreats, products, and courses. That's why we created this space—to reconnect with the roots of yoga.
We're here to create something deeper than a typical yoga holiday with asanas and tourist activities. Let's immerse ourselves in the local culture, respect nature, and honor our planet. Together, we can make a real impact.

From the place located right in front of an endless empty beach, to the love they poured into the retreat and the way they decorated it so beautifully, it couldn’t have been a better experience.
Also, the food was soooo good and all made locally, it will be really hard to find better in the whole of Sri Lanka. The yoga was very attentive and focused a lot on spirituality, not just exercise. It’s also very friendly for beginners; I traveled with my girlfriend who never did yoga before and she loved it because of that.
All in all I‘ve made memories there that I will cherish and remember for a long time to come, thank you so much!

I gained knowledge of the breath and the reminder that it doesn't take long, you can implement any of these techniques, from the yoga to the breathwork, into your daily life even just for a few moments each day.
I loved the location and also how well the retreat had been put together with a perfect balance of workshops and free time!
Come with an open mind and an open heart and let yourself be lead through this wonderful experience with Jude & Rahel!

One of my learnings in the Retreat is to be reminded to stop judging myself so much and to let go of control. I'm surprised about the safe feeling that I experienced in the retreat. From day 1 everyone was respectful and I felt comfortable showing emotions - Something I can't do in the real world.
Escaping the world and society, the storm of a busy life is always a good idea. If you're considering it, it's because you are ready. You will learn a lot, and reconnect with yourself, and this Retreat is the safest place in the world. Just do it. It's a gift to yourself.

My biggest take away is - Don't fight nature, embrace it. My Highlights of the Retreat were the breathwork sessions, the food and the swim in the river. The ride to the mountain for the hike surprised me pleasantly. If you ask me to join Reset Body & Mind Retreat, my answer would be - yes 100000%!
