Owner Viren on @ulpotha ‘it is simply what it is’ 🌱🪷

#yogaretreat #srilankatravel #wellnessholiday #ulpotha

10,000 of you. We’re honestly speechless. 🙏✨

When we first discovered Ulpotha—that magical village hidden in the Sri Lankan jungle where time seems to move differently - we knew we had to share it with the world. But we never imagined this many of you would fall in love with it too.

10,000 souls who understand that true luxury isn’t about thread counts and champagne (though we love those too). It’s about fireflies lighting your path to dinner. It’s about yoga in an open-air sala as monkeys play in the trees above. It’s about swimming in a lake, eating food grown in soil you can see from your hut.

To everyone who’s trusted us to guide you toward retreats that actually transform - not just relax: thank you. 🍃🪷

To those who’ve shared your Ulpotha stories, your sunrise photos, your “this place changed my life” messages: thank you.
To the ones still dreaming, still scrolling, still wondering if this kind of magic is real: it is, and we can’t wait to help you find it.

Ulpotha taught us that the best things in life are simple: community, nature, movement, real food, and genuine connection. You’ve taught us that there’s a whole community of people hungry for exactly that.

Here’s to 10,000 more seekers, dreamers, and wanderers finding their way back to themselves. 🌿

We have many solo travellers coming to Ulpotha to soak up the magic of the jungle and nature. Not everyone comes here for the yoga or to make friends. Some arrive exhausted and in tears without knowing why. The hug of Ulpotha has this effect on many of you. You arrive alone, anxious, as a guest and within days are swept up into the community making friends without even trying. This is the magic of Ulpotha, naturally healing, naturally life changing. 🌱🪷

Being in the present moment at Ulpotha is an important part of the @ulpotha experience. Many of you come here for a digital detox and to simply be. That is the beauty of Ulpotha. 🪷🌱

There are no rules at @ulpotha - if you don’t feel like doing yoga, no problem, if you want to be on your own, that’s fine too and if you want to practice yoga on the paths go ahead! ☺️🪷🌱

Showers at @ulpotha are shared. Most of them are outside surrounded by nature 🌱 and birdsong. The water is fresh and cold but you can always head to the Ayurveda centre for a hot shower by prior arrangement.

We have just 11 adobe huts at @ulpotha - mostly twin, some triple. You can choose to have a hut all to yourself for an additional supplement but when you book you’ll be allocated to share a hut with another guest (same sex). No windows, no doors just a lovely breeze blowing through. Mosquito nets and oil lamps are set up early evening ready for your return after supper. You’ll go to bed early, sleep like a baby and rise with the birds.

July 19 - August 2, 2026 | Yin & Yang Yoga with @oliviahealingyoga

Insight Yoga is a rich intersection of Yin and Yang styles of Yoga, informed by Buddhist Mindfulness and Psychology. Olivia is a long-term student of Sarah and Ty Powers and a deep Dharma Practitioner. Her passion is sharing Buddha Dharma in practical ways and connecting people, as much as possible, to the natural world.

“Thousands of tired, nerve shaken, over-civilised people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; wildness is a necessity”. (John Muir 1901) “We are part of the Earth, and it is part of us. We love this Earth as a newborn loves its mother’s heartbeat.” (Chief Seattle 1854). The tragedy is that so many have lost this deep and essential connection. For this reason, Olivia is thrilled to be invited to teach at Ulpotha.

Each session will be an invitation to slow down and dive deep into Buddhist Mindfulness, as a Path of Awakening. Olivia’s teaching is meditational and strengthening, as well as grounding and restorative. Inclusivity is at the heart of her teaching style. She has been teaching since 1998 and is able to meet diversity and a wide range of ability within a single class.
