Sacred Shores: A 12-Day Yoga Journey through Kerala & Sri Lanka
January 9 – 20, 2027

Join Elizabeth Guardia and Bristol Maryott for a rare and intimate 12-day retreat that bridges two sacred landscapes. We begin at Lumuma in Kerala, India—a sanctuary surrounded by lush greenery, ancient temples, and the living traditions of Ayurveda and yoga. Here, daily practices are enriched by the timeless wisdom of India’s spiritual heritage.

Midway, the journey continues across the ocean to Lanka Retreat in Sri Lanka, where golden beaches and vibrant culture create space for restoration and renewal. With the rhythm of the waves as our backdrop, we deepen into practice, community, and reflection.

This retreat is an invitation to step beyond routine and immerse in two of the world’s most inspiring spiritual settings. Expect daily yoga and meditation, cultural excursions, nourishing food, and time to simply be.

Why Kerala and Sri Lanka?

Kerala and Sri Lanka together offer a rare pairing of two of South Asia’s most inspiring landscapes for yoga and self-discovery.

Kerala, known as God’s Own Country, is the birthplace of Ayurveda and home to a living tradition of yoga that has been nurtured for centuries. Its backwaters, spice gardens, and temple culture create an atmosphere steeped in healing and devotion. Here, visitors can connect with the roots of yogic practice, explore authentic Ayurvedic therapies, and experience the vibrant spirituality woven into everyday life.

Sri Lanka has emerged as a premier yoga retreat destination, captivating travelers with its serene landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and peaceful atmosphere. Renowned for its idyllic beaches, lush mountains, and sacred sites, the island offers the perfect backdrop for rejuvenation and renewal. Lonely Planet highlights Sri Lanka's unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern wellness practices, praising its diverse range of retreats that cater to all levels of practitioners. With a focus on holistic well-being, visitors can immerse themselves in yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, while embracing the warmth of the local culture. Whether overlooking the ocean or nestled in the hills, Sri Lanka provides an unparalleled experience for those seeking tranquility and transformation.
