Ashtanga Yoga Retreat
Kosgoda, Sri Lanka
9 – 15 March 2026 (week 1)
16 – 22 March 2026 (week 2)
This immersive retreat is an opportunity to step away from daily distractions and deepen your connection to self – through the breath, the body, and the stillness in between.
Over the course of the retreat, we’ll explore the eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga, guided by Laruga’s decades of experience in both practice and philosophy. Each day will include Mysore-style self-practice, technique workshops, and discussions that offer insight into yoga beyond the asana.
You are welcome to join for Week 1, Week 2, or both weeks. Each week will be a complete and enriching experience on its own, with space to build upon if you choose to stay longer.
Take this time to pause, reset, and grow in a nurturing space, under the guidance of one of the most respected voices in the global Ashtanga community.

THE PRACTICE
The Ashtanga Yoga method is a living tradition with the relationship between teacher and student at the epicenter of its transmission going back over 5,000 years. At the root, it is a spiritual practice that purifies the heart, body and mind, illuminating one’s own divine nature.
Ashtanga Yoga is traditionally taught in the “Mysore” style and is the most impactful approach in learning and understanding the practice.
The name Mysore is derived from the actual city located in Southern India where Sri K. Pattabhi Jois lived, studied, taught and raised his family for most of his life.
Mysore is also deemed as supervised self practice where the āsanas (postures) are introduced and taught, one at a time for the student can easily memorize the sequence with both confidence and comfort, ultimately building the skills to move through the practice establishing a sense of empowerment, steadiness and calm.
