Relax and revitalise in the Sri Lankan sun
17 – 24 JAN 2026
Sri Lanka • 7 nights
Looking for sunshine, space to reset, and a splash of adventure?
Join Suze & Jeison for a 7-night immersive retreat set in a stunning private villa on Sri Lanka’s lush southern coast.
Think sunrise yoga, vibrant food, swaying palms, warm ocean dips, and unforgettable local experiences — all carefully curated to leave you feeling refreshed, strong, and inspired.
Your hosts
Jeison and Suze will be your hosts and instructors for the week. Will is also on site to help organise the trips and activities.
SUZE
With a background in Vinyasa, Rocket, and Yin, Suze blends structure with softness to create a grounded, inclusive space where all bodies are welcome. Her classes invite you to explore movement that feels good for your body — whether that means building heat, finding your edge, or sinking deep into stillness.
JEISON
Jeison is a Brazilian movement teacher who believes that motion is medicine — a powerful way to ground ourselves, shake off stress, and reconnect to the present.
Whether it’s yoga, Pilates, or a spontaneous leg shake, Jeison sees movement as the thread that steadies us through life’s ups and downs. His classes blend curiosity, care, and a playful spirit, creating space for both challenge and ease.
WILL WHEELER
The retreat is organised by Will, founder of Venture Retreats, who splits his time between London and Sri Lanka.
With deep local knowledge and years of retreat experience, Will curates the behind-the-scenes magic — from cinnamon island safaris and hidden beaches to nourishing meals and effortless logistics.
The venue
SRI DEVI
The venue provides total tranquility away from the hustle and bustle.
You’ll stay in your own private villa with each villa sleeping one, two or three guests.
Expect to lounge by the pool, practise in the outdoor yoga shala and get a revitalising dose of Sri Lankan sunshine.
Ten nights of luxurious wellness at Sri Devi, a beautiful retreat centre on the south coast of Sri Lanka.
Suze has a natural warmth that makes everyone feel welcome. Whether you’re a beginner or experience, Suze always offers thoughtful options so you feel both challenged and deeply at ease.
MELISSA
Jeison’s sessions are pure joy. His energy is infectious, the playlists are always on point, and somehow, even mid-burn, you find yourself smiling.
SIMON
The programme
At the heart of this week are Suze and Jeison — a dynamic teaching duo who bring passion, depth, and play to every session.
Suze’s intelligently crafted vinyasa, rocket, and yin classes offer a nurturing space to ground, explore, and reconnect to yourself. Her flows invite you to soften and strengthen in equal measure.
Jeison complements this beautifully with his signature blend of Reformer Pilates, Qigong, and somatic movement — joyful, curious, and deeply restorative. Expect moments of heat, stillness, and movement that feels good from the inside out.
Twice daily classes to uplift and restore, morning and evening, with either Suze or Jeison.
Will is an excellent host. His attention to detail and determination to deliver an exceptional experience is paramount and much appreciated. As a retreater you get to totally relax and just choose what you want to indulge in safely in the knowledge the research has been done and the best options suggested.
