I discovered different behavior patterns within myself that I did not like and wanted to work on, and I felt like I had lost connection and love towards myself.
It combined Yoga and Reiki, which I wanted to tap into and learn more about.
Starting with the location and the atmosphere, this is simply the best spot for a retreat and yoga classes. You are surrounded by the jungle and only a couple of steps away from the beach.
There is nothing more relaxing than yoga and meditation to the sound of the ocean, and I could also hear the waves falling asleep in my beautiful, very clean, and spacious room.
The staff of Hidden Garden Hotel was very friendly and helpful. They served me a delicious Western individual breakfast every morning.
I felt very welcomed from the very first moment I arrived. I decided to do a four-day Reiki and Yoga retreat. I was new to both subjects and did not know what to expect.
I ended up experiencing four wonderful days where I learned so many new things and was able to connect to myself on a deeper level.
Lucie and Julia provided such a warm and comforting space for me to tap into the unknown, and I never once felt uncomfortable or unsure about anything. The days were perfectly planned from beginning to end, with free time in between for me to relax and let everything I felt and experienced throughout the sessions sink in.
Beyond all kinds of classes and sessions, we also went on an excursion to see wildlife and the beauty of nature. Every day ended with a lovely Sri Lankan dinner with Julia and Lucie and the Reiki Master, Mr Gamini (also such a loving and warm soul to be around and initiated by), when he was present to do the Reiki initiations.
Even now, after the retreat, I feel a strong connection to Yoga Tangalle and the souls behind it. I really appreciate that it was more than just a client-teacher experience!
11/10 recommend to anyone who feels ready for a life-changing experience or who just wants to reconnect with themselves, nature, and love.
