The shala at Shramalaya, mats laid out beside the lagoon

Ahangama · Sri Lanka

A sanctuary
for the spirit

Yoga, breathwork and sound healing, held daily beside the lagoon.

Welcome

Shramalaya


A small shala built for practice, not performance.

Everyone is welcome, whatever you can or can't do on a mat. Come as you are.

The village

Kids workshops, every week

Each week the shala opens for the children of the village to move, play, breathe and rest. It's free, it's noisy in the best way, and it's one of the reasons this place exists.
