What if this Christmas felt completely different?
No obligations. No grey sky outside the window. Just warm air, gentle yoga, homemade Sri Lankan food — and a small group of people who all made the same decision.
Two retreats. Two chances to be there.
The two retreats
Christmas Soul Retreat — 20 to 26 December 2026. Theme: Coming Home to Stillness. Gentle yoga, restorative and yin sessions, meditation, journaling. On Christmas Day, a special gathering with homemade food and quiet rituals.
New Year Vision Retreat — 27 December 2026 to 2 January 2027. Theme: Rest. Reflect. Renew. Yoga, intention-setting, breathwork, and a candlelight New Year’s Eve gathering under the stars.

Who comes to these retreats
Most guests travel alone. Many are women. A large number have never done a yoga retreat before. Because the group is small — never more than 8 people — you are never anonymous. Guests consistently say they arrived as strangers and left knowing the people at the table.
Solo travellers, couples, beginners, experienced yogis, people who simply need a week away from the noise of December. All are genuinely welcome.
Why these retreats sell out every year
Yoga Bee has five rooms. That is the entire retreat. Danushka — your host and teacher — teaches every session himself, sits at the dinner table, and is present throughout the week. His wife Kanchana cooks every meal from scratch.
The December retreats create something rare: a small group of people who chose to spend the season intentionally, in a warm place, with no obligations. Most guests say the last morning is the hardest part.
