Your hosts
ADELYA LARSSON
Adelya teaches multiple styles of yoga, from restorative to dynamic, as well as incorporating Pilates and other modalities.
She believes that a varied and well-rounded approach is essential to support a healthy, balanced body and mind.
With a focus on breath and mindfulness, her classes encourage you to deepen your self-awareness and embody the present moment. Whether you’re new to movement or an experienced practitioner, she’ll be there to guide you on your journey toward personal growth.
Your host and instructor for the week will be Adelya Larsson. Will is also on site to help organise the trips and activities.

The venue
SOUL HOUSE
This spacious open plan Sri Lankan villa is the perfect place to relax into tropical tranquility.
Expect to lounge by the pool, practise in the outdoor yoga shala and get a revitalising dose of Sri Lankan sunshine.
Rooms are available for one, two, or three guests and you can extend your stay for additional nights if you wish.
You’ll spend six nights at Soul House, a beautiful retreat centre in Ahangama on the south coast of Sri Lanka.
Adelya is so much more than a yoga teacher—she’s a guide who helps her students find strength, resilience, and peace both on and off the mat. Her classes are inclusive, empowering, and filled with intention, making everyone feel seen and supported.

The programme
The retreat is both a holiday and a chance to practise yoga outside in tropical surroundings.
YOGA
Most days include a yoga session with Adelya and an excursion or activity.
Adelya focuses on breath, mindfulness, and self-awareness in her classes — you’ll leave each session feeling empowered, aligned, and refreshed. Here’s what you can expect:
MINDFUL MOVEMENT: Breathwork, balance, and core activation to help you feel strong and centered.
EMBODIMENT YOGA: Tune into your body’s wisdom and cultivate deeper self-awareness.
RADIANT RISE FLOW: An energizing sequence to awaken your body and set a positive tone for the day.
Will Wheeler is an excellent host. His attention to detail and determination to deliver an exceptional experience is paramount and much appreciated. As a retreater you get to totally relax and just choose what you want to indulge in safely in the knowledge the research has been done and the best options suggested.
