Feeling ungrounded, disconnected or exhausted? We are here to support you! Find your flow in the jungle.

 

We offer a variety of yoga classes and other practices – creating calm, clarity and connection with yourself and others. 

Craving a meaningful experience?

Welcome to Arise, a space to connect.

You set out on this journey to see new places, taste new flavors, and immerse yourself in life in Sri Lanka. But maybe, deep down, you were also looking for something more: to step away from the rush, the expectations, the constant noise of everyday life back home.

 

You’ve stepped into the unknown, chasing freedom, new experiences and possibility. Maybe just for a couple of weeks or you are traveling for a longer period of time. This newfound freedom isn’t always easy. When the noise settles, the questions and old mindsets and patterns remain. Now what?

 

You’re looking for clarity and grounding, and people who truly understand. You’re ready for meaningful connection, for community, even if just for a while. 

At Arise, we’ve been there. We’ve walked the same path and continue to walk it, while we hold space for others on the same journey. We’re here to support you in slowing down, creating space to listen inward, and finding your next step.


Our yoga classes and events offer the chance to reflect, explore, and share with others. Through movement and practices such as meditation, breathwork, and sound healing, our experienced facilitators guide you in reconnecting. With yourself, with others, and with the present moment.


Set in the Sri Lankan jungle overlooking a village temple, Arise is your home away from home. We reflect, imagine, inspire, grow, and connect.

Such a peaceful place. Participated in the power flow with Igna this morning and it was really good. He watched out for the group in front of him and sequenced well. The place is well maintained, clean and it provides mats, cleaning and mosquito spray, and just everything you need for a good yoga session.

Heaven! This space and the creators are AMAZING! What a setting….. it is like a dream.. the shala is surrounded by coconut palms, your private jungle overlooking a Buddhist stupor. Reverberating with peace, tranquility and good vibrations. The owners are INCREDIBLE, their current offerings, ethos and plans for the future are visionary for the area

Such a peaceful place, you can hear the waves of the ocean in the background. I’ve really enjoyed the yoga class. Meditation, Pranayama, Asana, information about the intention of the class – everything set up so well. Can highly recommend.

My wife had a yoga lesson with and said it was fantastic. Nestled in the jungle, with a view over the beautiful temple, she had an awesome slow flow class with Kim and said that Kim’s so attentive and present, you’ll leave with personalised cues and hands on adjustments that grow your own practice. Highly

I took part in an ‘Inner Exploration’ workshop which was utterly transformative. The space itself, nestled in the jungle and overlooking the local temple, created the most beautiful and peaceful setting to connect with the self and the other members of the group, while Mastani facilitated the session with such love and compassion.

Bloomin fabulous! Such a beautiful space run by incredible people. 100% worth a visit if you are in the nearby area. The location is stunning – in the middle of the jungle, overlooking the local temple. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the beach and you can still hear the waves crashing. It is

Fantastic place! Took a class with Ignasio and it was amazing!

Laura A.

A simply wonderful place in the middle of the jungle with a view of the Hiriketiya temple. The Yin class that Charly, one of the owners, led was one of the best yoga classes I have ever had. 🌴🫶🏼
