March 2026: Sri Lanka Retreat with Laruga Glaser

Date: 9 - 22 March 2026
Venue: Sama Retreats, Kosgoda, Sri Lanka

In March 2026, Kyo Spaces hosted two weeks of Ashtanga practice by the ocean at Sama Retreats in Kosgoda, Sri Lanka. What began as a yoga retreat became something quieter and more lasting: a space to return to yourself.

Each morning opened with Mysore-style self-practice under the guidance of senior Ashtanga teacher Laruga Glaser, whose 29 years of practice and rare Advanced B certification are matched only by her warmth as a teacher. Evening workshops explored the philosophy and mechanics of the practice, from bandhas and breath to backbending and inversions.

Beyond the mat, the group visited a turtle hatchery and a Buddhist temple, made a day trip to Hikkaduwa Beach, and settled into the rhythms of Sama's 10-acre coastal property, where the ocean is never far and the food is curated around you.

What made the retreat special wasn't just the curriculum. It was the people who showed up, the trust they brought, and the community that formed in the spaces between sessions.
