AWAKEN WITHIN WITH MARIE-LOUISE STRØYBERG
Most of us spend our days moving between responsibilities, deadlines, decisions, conversations, and expectations.
Life becomes full. Productive. Busy. Meaningful.
Yet even when life is good, there comes a point when we need space to step out of the constant doing, reconnect with ourselves, and return with greater clarity, energy, and perspective.
Awaken Within is a luxury yoga and wellness retreat designed to do exactly that.
Held in our boutique hilltop escape and nestled between jungle and ocean on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, we invite you into a different rhythm. One where everything is taken care of, allowing you to slow down, breathe deeply, and focus entirely on your own wellbeing.
At the heart of the retreat lies the yogic understanding that we are more than just a physical body. Yoga describes these dimensions through the koshas – the layers of our being: body, energy, mind, wisdom, and presence.
Over four days, you’ll explore and nourish these layers through intelligent yoga practice, breathwork, meditation, sound journeys, gong baths, reflection, and deep rest.
-You will strengthen the body.
-Restore energy and vitality.
-Create space in the mind.
-Cultivate greater clarity, focus, and presence.
-And reconnect with what truly matters.
This is not about escaping life or becoming someone different.
It is about creating the conditions to return home feeling stronger, clearer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself than when you arrived.
The practices, the place, and the experience become a quiet imprint that continues long after the retreat has ended.
This is your invitation to pause.
To breathe.
To reconnect.
To Awaken Within.
We can’t wait to welcome you!

LOCATION
Weligama in Sri Lanka is a quaint beach town in the South of Sri Lanka, famed for its sandy beaches, surfing and fishing villages. A short tuk-tuk ride from the beach, through rice paddies strewn with water buffalo, Malabar Hill rises from a cliff top to greet you.
During your leisure, if you would like to relax by the beach, we have a complementary shuttle service that can take you to “The Shack” our beach club in Mirissa.
