Nelum Nikethana

The three days we spent with Radesh and Nandana with my father were simply wonderful. A pause in a busy life, an invitation to ponder on our ways of thinking and operating in our modern societies. Everything was tailored to our needs, the yoga sessions were instructive and the meditation was eye opening. We highly recommend this authentic retreat !

The yoga retreat was wonderful. We really enjoyed the whole experience. The yoga was gentle and just at the right level. The yoga philosophy really interesting. We had the most amazing ayuverdic massage and a great consultation with the ayuverdic doctor. The food was amazing. In all a wonderful experience. Thank you so much

I recently had the privilege of attending a 2-day yoga and meditation retreat in the heart of Sri Lanka's lush jungle, and it was truly a transformative experience. Nestled amidst the verdant foliage, the retreat center provided a serene and peaceful environment that allowed me to disconnect from the world and reconnect with my inner self.

The retreat began with a gentle introduction to yoga and meditation, led by experienced instructors who tailored the sessions to suit all levels. The yoga practices were thoughtfully sequenced, focusing on breathwork, alignment, and relaxation. The meditation sessions were equally impactful, guiding us through various techniques to calm the mind and cultivate mindfulness.

The surroundings played a significant role in enhancing the experience. The jungle's natural beauty, with its vibrant greenery and soothing sounds of wildlife, created a perfect backdrop for introspection and self-discovery. Each day, we would take short breaks to explore the nearby trails, immersing ourselves in the sights and sounds of nature.

The accommodations were simple yet comfortable, with clean rooms and delicious, healthy meals that nourished both body and soul. The staff were warm and attentive, ensuring that every need was met with care and kindness.

We spent two unforgettable days at the retreat, immersed in yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, Ayurvedic and yoga philosophy, and deep human connection. Although we initially planned to stay for three days, we could only enjoy two full ones. Still, Radesh kindly adapted everything so we could make the most of each moment. His warmth, generosity, and ability to hold space for others was a gift. He even drove us to the train station to help with our tickets—a truly wonderful human being.

During the retreat, we had profound yoga and meditation classes, transformative talks with the meditation teacher and therapist (Nandana) and with Radesh and personalized Ayurvedic treatments from the doctor and his lovely family. Walking through the forest, surrounded by nature, was healing in itself. Every detail was taken care of with so much love.

Nandana guided us with calm and dedication in meditative movement, helping us reconnect with our bodies and silence and guiding us in psychology. Each person we met added to the beauty of the experience. Special thanks to Sunil and Ayurvedic doctor and family too. We wish we could have communicated better with them.

We leave this place filled with peace, gratitude, and a deep sense of connection—with nature, ourselves, and those who made this journey so meaningful. Thank you for everything. We carry you in our hearts.

We had a truly beautiful experience at the retreat. The yoga sessions with Mr. Radesh were thoughtfully adapted to our needs, allowing us to feel comfortable and supported throughout. We also had the chance to learn many new things, both on and off the mat, which enriched our overall experience.

Mr. Radesh - an absolutely magnificent person. He was always present, ready to help with anything, and brought so much warmth and kindness to our experience. I genuinely have no words to express how remarkable he is.

Mr. Sunil took excellent care of us from the moment we arrived until the very end of our stay. He was always attentive and did his best to ensure we had everything we needed or asked for.

The retreat is surrounded by lush nature, and the constant sound of birdsong creates a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Practicing yoga outdoors in the fresh air was absolutely incredible — a highlight of our stay.

It was a truly lovely and rejuvenating experience. Highly recommended!

We learned so many new things — not just about yoga, but also about ourselves.

Super séjour. Cours de yoga matin et soir avec un professeur tres attentif et pédagogue qui a prit soin de nous tout le séjour. On a souhaité inclure des visites de Kandy tout a était pris en charge et réservé par les hôtes avec un guide tuktuk adorable qui nous a fait visiter plusieurs lieux magiques hors des sentiers battus. Cours de cuisine inclus dans la prestation, géniale. Consultation et soins ayurvediques avec massage réalisé par un couple tres sympathique! Je recommande , durée de 3 jours pour l'inclure dans ses vacances!😁

El sitio ideal para relajarte

Je suis allé de 5 moins de grosses avec mon mari. On as bien profité, on cherchait une Experience spécial dans notre lune de miel avant la naissance de notre bébé.

The place is situated in a jungle oasis close to kandy. The teacher are really authentic and life their life’s according to yoga and Buddhist philosophy. I had a great experience and could deepen my practice with Nandana and Radesh.

The food was delicious and home made. I was also taken to places if I needed something or was interested in an location in kandy. All together a great experience.

Schöner Garten und direkt an einem Wäldchen. Viele Vögel und Äffchen. Für Kandy relativ ruhig. Aber man hört den Verkehr schon noch in der Ferne. Die angebotene Ayuveda Massage (muss zusätzlich bezahlt werden) war sehr interessant und an einem netten Ort im Freien. Dafür kommt eine Ärztin. Ich vermute aber auch das hier extra Geld verlangt wird, da ich nicht an die Ärztin zahlen durfte.

Der Lehrer Radesh ist super nett und hat sich sehr große Mühe gegeben, mir vieles ausführlich erklärt und mir so einen tieferen Einblick gegeben, was eigentlich alles hinter dem wort yoga steht. Auch die Citytour mit ihm war interessant.

nous avons été très bien accueilli, dans un lieu magique.

Suny, qui s'occupe de l'intendance est une personne très serviable et qui fait tout avec le sourire.

Les deux professeurs de yoga nous ont offert une pratique très professionnelle durant toute la semaine.

La nourriture était excellente. Tout le personnel a été aux petits soins et. a essayé de répondre à tous nos voeux. Excellente hospitalitéx
