We mostly move with the season, but with some exceptions. Sri Lanka is mostly active between October and April. May, June and July we are closed for a break and renovations. August and September we slowly reopen. Bali is mostly active between April and October with occasional trainings during winter. We are in Europe between April and August.

During low season in Sri Lanka (August to October) online booking is mandatory. In high season (October onwards) you can also walk in but if you book online you get a lower price and your spot is guaranteed. Our Shala has a limited capacity and especially during high season most classes sell out in advance. So our advice is to always prebook your spot to secure it.
