What others have said about Yoga Tribe...
Meet your facilitator
"Hi, I'm Nadia, the owner of Yoga Tribe.
I have been teaching yoga and running retreats since 2019. I love creating transformational experiences for our tribe.
I have experienced first-hand the profound impact of yoga and meditation in my own life. I believe that a change of scenery, meeting like-minded people and getting out of your comfort zone can create a sense of clarity that may be needed to create a life of purpose, balance and joy.
I fell in love with Sri Lanka and Talalla Retreat when I visited in 2023. And now, I am so excited to be combining my love of travel, yoga and adventure in this life changing retreat."
Nadia is a certified Aerial, Vinyasa, Yin and Pilates instructor and Yoga Life Coach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this retreat suitable for beginners?
Yes, our yoga (including aerial yoga) and meditation classes are suited for all levels of experience. In our physical practice we will provide you with variations of the pose so that you can take the option that suits you best. Our meditations are guided, and you will learn techniques to help you in this practice. As always, go at your own pace. If you have any health conditions that you think may affect your ability to participate in yoga please get in touch at nadia@yogatribelife.com.
Will I be ok to attend if I don't know anyone?
Many people attend yoga retreats by themselves. Some people enjoy bringing a friend (we have shared options available). Whilst our yoga retreat is about getting to know yourself, you will also be sharing the experience with like-minded people in a non-judgemental environment. You will soon get to know others attending the retreat early on and maybe even make some life-long friends.
How do I get there?
Talalla Retreat is located on the south coast of Sri Lanka, between Tangalle and Dikwella. It will take you approximately 3-4 hours by car from Colombo airport. You can book a private transfer directly through Talalla or use the rideshare app PickMe or Uber. You can also take the coastal train from Colombo to Matara (around 3 hours). From Matara, take a tuk tuk to Talalla South — approximately 30 minutes. It is recommended to book your ride or transfer prior to your day of departure from our retreat as taxi services are limited in Talalla.
What is the weather like in September?
September is on the tail end of the rainy season. Expect the occasional downpours and thunderstorms, although these usually happen at night. There should be plenty of time during the day to enjoy the beautiful weather, however, just be prepared for changes to the schedule if there is rain.
Where are we practicing yoga?
The aerial yoga classes will be practiced on the roof top shala, weather permitting. We will also be practicing our mat-based classes in an enclosed air conditioned yoga shala.
What should I bring with me to the retreat?
You should bring comfortable yoga clothes, for a warm, humid climate. Bathers, a beach towel, a water bottle, and any personal items you may need (such as toiletries). You may also want to bring a journal or notebook to take notes during workshops and classes. Or a book to read in your downtime. You may like to bring cash to use on our excursions.
What is the food like on the retreat?
Meals on the retreat will be a mix of Sri Lankan and Western Cuisines. Ingredients sourced locally and herbs are grown onsite. Vegetarian, vegan and other dietary requirements can be catered for.
What time should I arrive?
Room check-in at Talalla is from 2pm. The retreat will commence at 4pm on Sunday 26th September. If you arrive earlier, feel free to have a look around the property or go for a walk along the beach. Departure will be after breakfast on Friday 1st October.
Do you have a payment plan?
Yes, fortnightly or monthly payment plans are available. Just get in touch when you book the retreat and we will work out an arrangement to suit you.
What is your cancellation policy?
Full refund (less any transaction fees) if cancelled before 24th January 2027.
50% refund before 24th April 2027.
25% refund before 24th July 2027.
No refund if cancelled after 24th July 2027.
We will do our best to try and fill your space if you need to cancel due to any extenuating circumstances and therefore provide a higher refund. However, please be aware that as we get closer to the retreat date this will not always be possible. Ultimately, it is up to you to ensure that you have the relevant travel insurance that can cover any costs you have incurred.
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes! It is essential that you have travel insurance to cover your costs in the event that you cannot travel for any reason. Natural disasters, illness, the list goes on. Due to the time, effort and costs required to plan our retreat we will be adhering to our cancellation policy.
Do I need a Visa for Sri Lanka?
Currently, you are required to submit an online Electronic Travel Authorisation prior to arrival. Changes to Visa requirements can occur. You can keep up to date with travel requirements and recommended vaccinations on www.smartraveller.gov.au.
