At Senses, yoga is not something you perform. It is something your body remembers.
What it is
Nestled in the lush jungle of Midigama, Ahangama, on Sri Lanka's south coast, our yoga shala is a living sanctuary, literally. Wildlife roams around it, breeze flows through it, and it is held by nature.
Whether you are stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening a practice that has shaped your life, you are welcome here. Whatever brings you, the mat is ready.
Clean air, birdsong, the rustle of leaves and zero traffic noise. Our open-air shala sits inside a working fruit farm, far enough inland that the hustle of the coast simply does not reach it.
From the flowing rhythm of Vinyasa to the surrendered stillness of Yin, every class is guided rather than performed. Come as you are, the farm, the air and the mat will do the rest.
Our classes & events
Not sure what class suits your needs? Below you’ll find a description of every class and event, with the level and intensity.
A guided, step-by-step flow where every movement has a purpose. You’ll explore foundational postures and breathing techniques in a logical sequence that builds strength, awareness, and confidence on the mat, one breath at a time.
A purposeful, progressive flow for practitioners ready for more. Expect stronger postures, complex transitions, and a clear arc from warm-up to peak to cool-down. This class challenges you to move with both power and intelligence. A consistent yoga practice is recommended.
Slept in? Surfed at dawn? Either way, this one’s for you. Yang to Yin starts with a gentle flow to shake off the morning, then melts into long-held yin poses that go deep into the hips, shoulders and spine.
As the light dims, the body slows down with it. This is yin yoga held in candlelight: postures sustained for minutes at a time, supported by props, while the room settles into stillness. It’s an invitation to surrender rather than stretch, to be held rather than to hold. Expect a hushed, intimate atmosphere and long exhales. A gentle close to the day.
Kundalini Yoga is a great practice to explore deep breathwork, meditation and mantra all tied into a powerful asana and kriya sequence. The space allows you to not only work on your physical body but also specifically the energy bodies. Many attest to a euphoric, elevated aftermath for this reason. A safe practice shared by a KRI certified instructor.
From the subtlest hums to the resounding echoes, sound weaves its way through our being, leaving an indelible imprint on our body, mind and spirit. Let the ethereal sounds of crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, flutes, drums, chimes and other healing instruments guide you on an inner journey.
In this class, we use a simple yet powerful technique: a continuous, circular breath with no pause between inhale and exhale. This connected rhythm gently shifts you out of everyday thinking and into deeper layers of feeling, releasing stored tension and emotion held in the body. Guided by music and supportive facilitation, each session is a personal journey: some people experience deep relaxation and clarity, others release, insight, or a sense of renewed energy and connection. No experience is needed; your breath does the work.

“Some places don't just host you, they hold you. Senses Sri Lanka did exactly that from the very first moment. As a Sri Lankan, stepping into this space felt like coming home in the most unexpected way. The fact that they offer discounts and donation-based options for locals means this kind of healing is genuinely accessible to us too, not just for visitors passing through.”
“I attended lots of classes and ecstatic dance at Senses while I stayed in Sri Lanka. It's a beautiful venue in the middle of nature, and the instructors and facilitation are wonderful. I am also a facilitator and yoga teacher, so I am particular about teachers and spaces, but was really impressed with what is offered at Senses. And the owners are lovely and very welcoming! Highly recommend.”
“A truly intentional sanctuary tucked away in the jungle. The shala at Senses is one of the most tranquil spaces I've experienced, perfect for deepening your wellness practice. It's rare to find a spot that balances professional wellness offerings with such raw, natural serenity. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a genuine reset.”
