A 7-night retreat on the southern coast of Sri Lanka
I’m so pleased to be offering a 2019 Iyengar Yoga Retreat. This year the venue is Tallala Retreat is on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, 168 kms from Colombo. It sits on a pristine, unspoilt beach, still hidden from tourists and travelers and only visited by the local fisherman during their daily catch. Facilities include a 20m freshwater lap pool, Ayuredic spa and a gourmet open-air restaurant serving fresh organic meals.
Please consider joining us. Give yourself the opportunity to step away from the routine of daily to do, and steep in daily yoga practice, contemplation and gratitude. Setting intentions and space to reemerge and re entering your life open, nourished and refreshed.
Iyengar students and other yoga practitioners are welcome to attend. New students who are local to my studio in Alfred Cove, or The North Perth Yoga Room are welcome to attend a casual yoga class at no cost prior to booking. See my yoga class timetable here: http://www.myohealth.com.au/classes

What others have had to say:
Thailand 2018:
Hi Kellie - loved it all! The yoga practices each day led by you, the people attending, the venue & other activities. Mark me down for next year! As I said you are a fab teacher & it was a special experience for me & I’m sure others. AM
It was such a pleasure meeting you, participating in your classes, and just getting to experience something so different from my normal.
You taught me that doing something is good, but doing something with guidance can be so much more rewarding.
My only regret is that I was sick by the time I got to Thailand, which dampened my desire to be social. The group of yoga ladies assembled was fantastic! I enjoyed the participation and was wowed by their abilities.
You are truly excellent at what you do and your compassionate spirit was evident during the entire event. AH
New and returning students:
If you’re in Perth or Margaret River (on 23/24 March) please try a class with me before you commit.
Please email if you have any further questions. See you in Sri Lanka!
