Seth Siri Arana Ayurveda Retreat was founded in 2016, as one of the first Ayurveda retreats in Sri Lanka to cater exclusively to Panchakarma and Yoga guests. It offers some of the most authentic Ayurveda in Sri Lanka, where guests can choose between three Ayurveda programs – the Ayurveda Light, Intensive or Healing. It is consistently recognised for its comprehensive, authentic Ayurveda treatment as well as for its care and generous hospitality.
Seth Siri Arana is one of the pioneers of Ayurveda in Sri Lanka, having been established in 2016. At that time Ayurveda was not a widely understood concept in the western world, however once western guests began to seek out Ayurveda, a lot of work was needed in order to make the process acceptable to their needs and standards. It also had to retain its authenticity whilst being ‘refined’. At Seth Siri Arana, we took a number of measures to ensure this transition was successful.
Seth Siri Arana is ideal for those seeking a Yoga retreat in Sri Lanka. Increasingly, Yoga practitioners from around the world are bringing their pupils to Seth Siri Arana in order to conduct Yoga retreats with the added benefit of Ayurveda treatments.
Yoga is an essential element of the Ayurveda way of life, promoting harmony of mind, body and soul.
Practices of Asana and Pranayama are considered to be the highest form of purification and self discipline for the mind and the body respectively.
The type of Yoga practiced at Seth Siri Arana is predominantly Hatha Yoga, with Pranayama (breathing exercises).
