Where is your Shala?

We’re about a five-minute walk from Hiriketiya Beach. If you’re standing on the beach facing the ocean, turn right and walk to the end. At the main road, turn left, then right at the junction: you’ll see our sign. Follow the dirt road up the hill and you’ll find us at the top. Reception is inside the house.

Our regular classes are 3,000 LKR per person. We offer discounts for residents and Sri Lankan nationals.

You are also able to buy a multi-class pass which gives you a discount per class. 

You can find more information about our pricing here

Can I pay by card?

Yes you can pay by card! We accept VISA, Mastercard and Maestro (no AMEX).  We charge a 3% bank fee for all card payments.

Do I have to sign up for a class/special event?

During the slower months (April – August), we ask you to book in advance for all classes. From September onwards, classes are drop-in –  no registration needed. That said, you’re always welcome to reserve a spot in advance to guarantee your mat.

Classes and specials marked with ❋ require booking regardless of the season. These need a minimum number of students and a bit more preparation on our end, so knowing the numbers helps. To sign up, book here, DM us on Instagram, or send us a WhatsApp.

Want to join a ❋ class last minute? Just reach out and we’ll let you know if there’s still space.

If you’ve signed up, we hold your spot until the scheduled start time,  after that it goes to walk-ins. Please check in with reception when you arrive (you’ll find us in the house). They’ll take your payment and point you in the right direction.

Do I need to bring my own mat or anything else?

No, you don’t need to bring your own mat. Of course, you are more than welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

We provide mats, bolsters and blocks. We also have filtered water.

Please wipe down your mats and roll them up at the end of class/workshop. The spray and wipes are provided.

Do I need to bring mosquito spray?

No need, we provide spray onsite and burn citronella incense during classes. We’re in the jungle though, so mosquitoes come with the territory. We’d recommend spraying up before class just to be safe.

When do you recommend arriving before class?

Classes will start on-time, so please arrive 10 minutes early to get set up and all settled in. If you have signed up for a class, we will hold your spot until the scheduled start time. After that, we will give your spot to any walk-ins. 

Where can I park my scooter/bike?

There is parking available for scooters in front of the house. The road leading to our space is a dirt road so be careful driving up, especially when it has rained. It can be muddy and slippery.
