‘Set your intention, discover with purpose,
grow with clarity, embody a mindful life on & off the mat’

. ULPOTHA, SRI LANKA
Sri Lanka has no shortage of stylish beachside yoga retreats, but world-class
therapists and teachers—such as Parisian Alexandre Onfroy and Californian Rob
Hess—make the trek inland to immerse themselves in local culture at Ulpotha.
Located in a working rice village, a committee of locals take part in all
decision-making, and guest fees fund a free area clinic. Eleven simple mud huts are
sprinkled across 22 acres of dense forests, and monks still live in remote temples in
the mountains above. There’s a
dedicated yoga shala, but classes
also take place beneath the
branches of an ancient
banyan tree.


. KAMALAYA, KOH SAMUI,
THAILAND
Teachers Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman
Yee, Richard Freeman, and Mary Taylor
are regular hosts at this retreat founded
by John Stewart, a former monk who
lived in the Himalayas for 18 years, and
his wife, Karina, a doctor of Traditional
Chinese Medicine, who built the seaside
sanctuary around a jungle-shrouded
cave that was once a spiritual retreat
for Buddhist monks. Guests can book
à la carte therapies and classes such as
detoxifi cation, Chi Nei Tsang, and Hatha
Yoga, or multi-day packages meant to
remedy modern ailments such as
technology addiction.

. CAMBODIA
Teacher Puravi Joshi calls
Cambodia one of the most peaceful
places to practice.Immerse yourself in
the history and culture of Siem Reap
at the Hariharalaya Yoga & Meditation
Retreat, named after the Vedic capital
of Cambodia. Temples dating to 800
CE surround the two-acre campus.
A team of international yoga and
meditation instructors lead six-day
retreats with Integral Yoga, silent
meditation, Dharma talks, and
nourishing vegan cuisine.
