Sri Lanka 2026

Koggala, Sri Lanka

June 21st - 27th, 2026

We invite you to join us in the stunning surrounds of southern Sri Lanka for a week long immersion.

Using the teachings of Tantra, this week is an opportunity to deepen your practice and understanding of Self.

Guided by traditional maps, this experience is a pilgrimage towards the inner wisdom of body, breath, mind and beyond.

If you haven't had the opportunity before, taking time away from your day to day to sink into practice is an incredible experience. Created to be all-inclusive, where everything - food, practice, cleaning, activities - is taken care of for you, allows the responsibilities of daily life to fall away and gives you the chance to settle into a different state of being.

In many ways, this immersion is the cornerstone of not just our study and teaching, but personal practices and we are thrilled to share it with you.

The Experience

In Sanskrit, Swa refers to the Self, and Tantra means to expand.

This immersion is built around that principle — expanding your awareness into the fullness of who you are, and giving you the skills to carry that state back into everyday life.

Swa Tantra is designed for experienced practitioners who are ready to go beyond technique and deepen their embodiment of both movement and the subtler inner forces that shape our practice.

Over our days together, you’ll be guided through the complete Tantric Hatha method: Asana, Mantra, Bandha, Kriya, Meditation, and the integrated sequencing that enlivens our experience of them.

Alongside practice, you’ll receive clear, accessible workshops unpacking the essential frameworks of Hatha, Tantra, and Samkhya philosophy — so you not only experience the practices, but truly understand the systems behind them.

If you’re seeking a rare opportunity to explore the full spectrum of Hatha Yoga, and to feel what a complete, consistent practice can offer, this immersion is for you.

The Location

Set on the serene shores of Lake Koggala in southern Sri Lanka, we will be staying at Lanka Yoga.

This stunning setting offers the perfect backdrop for our immersion, surrounded by lush greenery and calm waters - ideal for connecting with yourself and your practice.

The fully vegan/vegetarian meals are provided by an in-house team, with all the produce coming from the centre’s own garden or neighbouring organic farms.

Lake Koggala itself is a place of calm, with gentle waters, abundant wildlife, and a vibrant tropical landscape. The natural beauty and stillness of the area create a rare sense of clarity and presence, allowing your time at the retreat to feel fully separate from the everyday.

For our immersion, the location itself becomes part of the journey — grounding, inspiring, and supporting the work of mind, body, breath and beyond.

Lanka Yoga has a gorgeous open-air practice studio, as well as a variety of room options; spacious bunk rooms, twin shares or completely private en-suites (pictured below). Each room is fitted with aircon and fan, backing onto either the lake, the garden or our very own private pool.

"Irene and Ziggy, your teaching has been a mirror and a light, helping me see beyond limitation and into possibility.

Thank you for always holding the space with such integrity, compassion and devotion."
