Getting to Sri Lanka: Your Journey Simplified

Visa Requirements: Before embarking on your Sri Lankan yoga retreat, ensure you have your travel documentation in order. Most visitors need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), valid typically for a month. This process is straightforward and usually takes a couple of days. However, it’s essential to confirm specific requirements with the Sri Lankan Embassy in your country for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

By Air: Your aerial gateway to our retreat is through the Katunayake Airport, Colombo (CMB), located 162.8 km away. While Sri Lanka has other airports like Dickwella (DIW), Hambantota (HRI), Koggala (KCT), and Kandy (KDW), Colombo is the primary international hub.

Airport Transfers: Ease into your retreat experience with our organized shared transfers, scheduled for the arrival day and the day before the retreat begins. For a more personalized journey, you can opt for a private taxi from Colombo Airport to Tangalle. Check online for the latest prices to plan your trip seamlessly.

By Train: For an authentic local experience, consider the train journey from Colombo to Matara. It’s a scenic route ending with a short, 20-minute taxi ride to our venue. This option is not only budget-friendly (around 20 euros in total) but also allows you to witness the stunning landscapes of Sri Lanka.

Nidra YTT Online May 2023

I loved this teacher training so much. The content was fantastic, and it felt really well structured. The teaching was of a really high level, and there was also a lot of support, which was encouraging. More than that, the Yoga Nidra practice itself and the group were so beautiful and healing. It really felt like a life-changing experience and I am so grateful to have been a part of it.

Nidra YTT Online May 2023

In Winter 2022, I set an intention to go back to my teaching practice and perhaps.. to teach meditation too… I held it in my heart… until I received that letter from Tribe inviting me to join the Yoga Nidra training.

This is the second time that Tribe gave me my wings. The Yoga Nidra training was such a magical journey for me. The teachers and my fellow students co-created a rich community of loving, compassionate, giving men and women.
