The Reset Retreat
The Reset Retreat
Sri Lanka Yoga & Surf Retreat
Hosted by Zoe Klein and created in partnership with LOOP Wellbeing, The Reset Retreat blends the science of mental health with the art of embodiment.
Across seven days, you’ll experience yoga, surfing, stillness, nourishing food, and meaningful connection, the foundations of true wellbeing. This retreat is about returning to presence, vitality and the version of you that feels most alive.
1st November - 7th November 2026
We welcome solo our group travellers. Previous experience tells us that you’ll leave with a community of new friends that will last a life time.
See for yourself
See for yourself
I actually feel more confident and upbeat. It sounds silly, but I'm someone who doubts myself a lot and I actually now feel strong and capable of "choosing my attitude" and outlook. I am focused and determined to have a go at new things that challenge my confidence (i.e. slowly starting a business, which I’ve always talked myself out of). I’m feel willing to be vulnerable and ask for help.

Reconnect to Yourself
Through yoga, breath, and stillness, find space to exhale. Re-enter your body, quiet your mind, and remember what calm feels like.
Connect with Others
Share real moments with like-minded people. Meals, conversations, and surf sessions that remind you how good connection feels.
Move & Reset
Each day brings rhythm and flow. Yoga at sunrise, ocean swims, and the kind of movement that resets your entire body.
Explore & Expand
Step out of your comfort zone. Try surfing, explore Sri Lanka, and let new experiences wake you up.
Rest & Recalibrate
Mindful mornings, nourishing food, spacious afternoons. A full-body exhale from the pace of everyday life.
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE:
WHERE YOU WILL STAY:
Our home for the week is Lanka Yoga. The venue itself is one of a kind. Located on the water’s edge, offering a calm alternative to the sometimes hectic nature of the beachside locations. A peaceful lagoon-side sanctuary designed for rest and reflection. Open-air shala, gentle breezes, natural textures, and a pool that overlooks the water.
Everything here invites you to slow down.
November is shoulder season which means warm and mostly sunny weather, with less crowds. Enjoy the occasional afternoon shower which makes the yin practices that much sweeter.
MEET YOUR HOST:
Zoe Klein is a psychotherapist, yoga teacher and founder of LOOP Wellbeing, an integrative online therapy practice in Australia.
Her work bridges the science of mental health with the wisdom of the body. With over a decade of teaching experience and a deep understanding of emotional regulation and embodied living, Zoe’s classes move beyond postures. They’re a practice in presence, awareness and reconnection.
The Reset Retreat is where her two worlds meet: a week designed to restore your balance, inside and out.
This will be Zoe’s 6th return to Sri Lanka. She took a teaching job here in 2019 and fell in love with the culture, people and incredible food. It was here that she found the space to recognise what was truly important. She healed old wounds, got clear on her direction and knew that this was an experience that had to be shared.
WHO IT IS FOR:
For those ready to pause the noise, reconnect with their body, and find clarity again.
Whether you’re craving rest, community, adventure, or a deeper relationship with yourself, this is your week.
the yoga:
Relish in twice daily practices with Zoe. You will receive personalised feedback, time to ask questions and work on stronger poses. The complete practice will be honoured with asana, meditation, pranayama, mantra and workshop style classes. All practices will be held in the purpose built open air yoga shala.
Grow & Flow: All morning classes. These vinyasa classes will be fluid, dynamic and breath based, with a sprinkle of workshop style education. Leave these practices feeling confident, clear and ready to soak up the day.
Rest & Realign: Afternoon classes will include a mixture of restorative/yin, breath work, meditation and psychotherapeutic journalling workshops.
Meals are fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced. For breakfast, lunch and dinner you will enjoy a Michelin chef designed Sri Lankan fusion menu. All meals are vegan and utilise as much local and home grown ingredients as possible. Think colourful breakfasts, nourishing plant-based lunches, and relaxed communal dinners that bring everyone together.
You’ll eat in a way that supports both your energy and your calm.
We can support your dietary requirements if you let us know in advance.
THE FOOD:
This reset goes far beyond yoga. Between classes, you’ll have space to explore, play, and unwind.
Wander the white-sand beaches, join an extra surf session, or take a local trip to Galle Fort, Unawatuna, or the nearby tea plantations. There’s plenty of freedom to do as much or as little as you like.
If surfing isn’t your thing, you’re welcome to skip it — we usually share a group surf on day one, and those who fall in love with the waves can keep surfing throughout the week.
You’ll also have the option to book an in-house massage with some of Sri Lanka’s most experienced hands.

What others Are Saying
“I felt empowered to step outside my comfort zone. It just reinforced the fact that it is important to do that as often as you can in life, because the rewards far outweigh any fears. I came back home feeling refreshed and much calmer in the face of endless roles and responsibilities. Thanks for creating the perfect experience! It was so lovely to have everything taken care of, food, activities and sorting out extra free time activities. It really allowed everyone to switch off and enjoy themselves.”
— retreat guest
"I wish I could practice yoga twice a day, every day! It felt so good in my body. The retreat has truly made me fall in love with the practice. The breathing techniques and learnings in class were so great. And time to learn everything properly, plus all the history and the psychology aspect was amazing."
— retreat guest
“Surfing was amazing!! And loved all the options, it was just so nice to not have to think about what to do for once.”
— retreat guest
"Yoga with Zoe is so much more than just the yoga practice. It's a wholesome experience. The classes flows seamlessly. Zoe has an energy that is an absolute pleasure to be around. She is kind and considerate, but is also down for a good time or a mid flow boogie. You won't regret any experience with Zoe, whether is a class or a week long retreat. Do it!"

“My life was very busy & hectic before. I wanted to have a full break from work and give myself some specific self care, plus getaway and do something I have never done before. I have come home with an inner calmness, feeling rested, reset and more grounded & grateful. Thank you Zoe for your planning, time, patience, nurturing and support. It was greatly appreciated.”
— retreat guest
“My heart is so full and nourished after this retreat. Zoe is not only an amazing yoga teacher, but also host. During the week not one detail was missed to ensure all guests were looked after. I had the most magical time and formed some really beautiful friendships with people who were strangers just a week earlier. If you are looking to recharge, seeking to meet like minded people - this is the retreat for you”
— retreat guest
“I feel the happiest I have been in a long time, and ready to let go of things that aren’t serving me anymore. I feel calm and less angry with myself and the world for things that are out of my control. I feel an insane amount of gratitude from the inside out for the people I have met and the friendships I have made.”
