Your host
WILL WHEELER
Based in London, Will has been a yoga instructor for 10 years. Having led countless retreats in his career, Will has perfected the art of creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere on his retreats.
Morocco is where it all started for Will on his first yoga instructor course. This is what he really loves – travelling to tropical locations with people who share his yogic passion. Come join him!
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.
Seven nights of luxurious wellness at Sri Devi, a beautiful retreat centre on the south coast of Sri Lanka.
The programme
YOGA & BREATHWORK
Most days will include morning and evening yoga classes, featuring breathwork, meditation, and a great playlist.
Will’s vinyasa flow classes will be playful, offering sequences to improve posture and alignment and leave you feeling calm and grounded. His restorative classes are slower in style and offer soothing restful postures to promote a great night's sleep.
You will get to deepen your yoga practice during your retreat whilst enjoying a varied yoga timetable between trips and activities.
You will always have enough time to explore your beautiful surroundings, connect with like-minded people and find time to relax by the pool with a book.
The retreat is both a holiday and a chance to practise yoga outside in tropical surroundings.
Will is a lovely, delightful and focussed yoga teacher; he makes a huge effort to ensure that everyone is socially included, very important when there are solo people and others in established groups who know one another.
His teaching style is very clear, creative and balanced, as well as empathic; the differentiation he provides ensures everyone’s individual practice is both supported and challenged.
I loved the emphasis on breath work and felt both stronger, calmer and more ‘whole’ by the end of the week.

FOOD
You’ll be set up for the day with a healthy Sri Lankan breakfast of fruits, omelettes and string hoppers. And after a hard day of relaxing, you’ll be rewarded with a sumptuous Sri Lankan feast.
Dietary requirements? Sri Devi’s mouth-watering dishes cater for everyone, whether vegan, vegetarian, or pescetarian.
Plus there’ll be an evening out to enjoy the local cuisine, with beach front dinner and drinks.
This retreat is all about balance; there are plenty of opportunities built into the retreat for excursions — and for enjoying the delicious Sri Lankan cuisine.
