LIVE WELL SOUTHSEA
About this experience
Grace Nicole from Live Well Southsea has partnered with her beloved friend, Mariana Malki, co-founder of Flow Collective in Friday Harbor, Washington. Together Grace and Mariana are hosting a very special experience set in the Knuckles Mountain Range of Sri Lanka...
You can anticipate 7 days & 7 nights of foundational yoga, intimate connection circles and authentic vegetarian cuisine. This is a culturally immersive experience. Together we will experience the buzz of Kandy culture; immerse ourselves into the magic of a cloud forest; explore local village life amidst rice paddy fields; and receive traditional Ayurvedic massage treatments...
This retreat is for every body, meaning someone who has never done yoga before to all-level yogis are welcome to join us for this all-inclusive week of revival and wonder.
About your hosts
Grace began her Yoga studies in 2018 in Rishikesh, India. She is now a qualified Hatha Yoga instructor, RTT Practitioner, and co-founder of Live Well Southsea. Happiest barefoot under a forest canopy, Grace is an advocate for creative living and slowing down. Mariana, a life long movement practitioner, traveled to Thailand in 2019 to complete her initial alignment-based vinyasa yoga training. She is also a Breathwork facilitator and co-founder of Flow Collective. Mariana traveled to India in 2023 for additional training in Hatha Yoga and to begin her 2-year long Yoga Therapy Certification. Mariana is happiest by the water, surrounded by people and animals alike, living simply and sustainably. Your hosts are avid travelers and they are devoted to wholesome living. Their intention in hosting this retreat is to bring you an experience that is as deeply nourishing as it is eye-opening and transformational.
