The 12-Day Yoga Retreat at a Glance
The yoga retreat at Thaulle spans 12 days with 11 nights. Two yoga sessions of 90 minutes each take place daily – morning and evening. In between, there is time for rest, meditation, excursions and optional Ayurveda treatments. The price depends on room category, occupancy and travel dates.
The daily routine follows a calm, reliable rhythm, creating space for focus, recovery and fresh clarity. The day typically begins with a morning session when the air is still cool and the view across Yoda Lake settles the mind. In the evening, a second session closes the day with intention.
Typical retreat rhythm:
- Morning: yoga practice and meditation
- Daytime: rest, meals, excursions or optional treatments
- Evening: second yoga session, breathwork or quiet wind-down

Yoga Practice at Thaulle: Loft and Beach
Yoga at Thaulle takes place in two locations: the air-conditioned yoga loft with panoramic views over Yoda Lake and at Kirinda Beach on the Indian Ocean. This combination of a sheltered indoor space and nature-connected outdoor practice gives the retreat its distinctive character.
In the yoga loft, you practise on a spacious, climate-controlled floor on the top storey of the resort. The wide view across the lake creates a calm, clear frame – especially in the heat or during more intensive retreat phases.
At Kirinda Beach, you practise close to the ocean, with open space, salt air and a different energy to the loft. Beach yoga is a fixed part of the retreat programme.

Teacher: Piyumal Kadigamuwage
The yoga retreat is led by Piyumal Kadigamuwage. His practice combines Hatha Yoga with elements of Karma, Bhakti and Raja Yoga – teaching that works not only physically but also includes breathwork, concentration and inner alignment.
Sessions are structured so that both beginners and more experienced guests can participate meaningfully. What matters is not perfection but a practice that fits your current state.

Optional Ayurveda Treatments
Guests who wish to deepen the yoga retreat can add individual Ayurveda treatments – including head, foot, face or full-body massages. All treatments take place in Thaulle’s separate Ayurveda centre with 6 private therapy rooms and its own pharmacy.
For guests arriving with exhaustion, restlessness or tension, this combination is particularly effective. Yoga creates presence and flexibility. Ayurveda supports recovery, relief and integration.
Thaulle is one of the few properties in Sri Lanka where you can combine yoga and Ayurveda under one roof – medically supervised by Dr Upul, who has treated over 3,000 European guests in more than 20 years.
Yoga Retreat for Groups and Yoga Teachers
Thaulle is suitable for yoga teachers, studios and organisers who want to run their own yoga retreat in Sri Lanka. The resort provides a clear organisational framework: air-conditioned yoga loft, beach sessions at Kirinda Beach, full board, 28 rooms across 5 categories and the option to integrate Ayurveda treatments for the group.
What Thaulle offers for group retreats:
- Exclusive use of the yoga loft with panoramic views
- Beach yoga sessions at Kirinda Beach
- Individual packages for timing, group size and programme
- Full board with optional Ayurvedic menu
- Optional Ayurveda treatments for individual participants or the entire group
- German- and English-speaking contacts on site

For retreat leaders, this is particularly relevant when you want to lead a group in a high-quality, organised environment without having to coordinate everything on site yourself.
Thaulle welcomes guests aged 11 and above. This ensures a quiet, focused environment – no small children, no distractions. A clear advantage for yoga group travel.
