Move + Restore Retreat

The Move + Restore Retreat is a seven-day yoga retreat at Soul House in Ahangama, Galle, on Sri Lanka's south coast, led by Holly Benson. It is made for people who want a week that combines nature, a measure of luxury and time to focus on themselves, with movement, yoga, breathwork and health coaching held against the island's beaches and tropical jungle.

What to Expect

The week blends several practices rather than centring on one. Movement and yoga sit alongside breathwork and health coaching, so the days speak to the body, the breath and the everyday habits that shape how you feel. The retreat is described as seven days of this, with the setting doing a good part of the work: ocean and beach on one side, jungle on the other.

The emphasis is on self-focus. This is a week to step out of your usual routine and give your own wellbeing proper attention, in a place designed to support that.
