Our retreats are spaces for honest excavation: gentle, steady, and real. Here, the many layers of your being can unfold, be felt, and be witnessed without hurry. We don’t chase transformation; we make room for it.

Soulravel is inviting you into the lush jungle of Sri Lanka for a Soul(re)treat of togetherness, movement, rest, love and healing.

BLOOM — A Retreat to nourish your Mind, Body, Soul and the Heart. Where jungle meets ocean and days move by the rhythm of breath and tide. BLOOM is a homecoming to your body, your heart, and a community that cares. We’ll move, breathe, listen, and rest gently and honestly so what’s inside can unfurl in its own time.

Coming together through a unifying thread that weaves together diverse practices for a meaningful and holistic journey. 

Sink into mindful practice: yoga asana, breathwork, meditation, somatics & embodiment, restorative sound baths, and a heart-opening cacao & temazcal ceremony.

Celebrate aliveness: ecstatic dance and free, authentic movement: space to express, play, and let joy move through you.

Rest & reflect: unhurried time for journaling, ocean walks, gentle silence, and integration, so insights can land and become your own.

Gather as community: sense, feel, and practice together: supporting each person’s unique path and remembering the ease of effortless being.

A cozy arrangement of decorative candles, a small vase with pink flowers, and a wooden tray with books and a vase with tropical flowers on a woven mat.

Let the jungle’s chorus and the ocean’s slow breath hold you while you soften. Here, practice opens under palm shade and wide sky; attention steadies, and the body remembers ease. On Sri Lanka’s south coast, where wild beaches meet world-class waves— the landscape does half the teaching, inviting depth, play, and real rest.

This is more than a getaway; it’s a clear return to what’s alive in you. Come in January to move and be moved: by sound, ritual, and a circle that feels like home.

Let the tide recalibrate your rhythm and community warm your edges. Leave with memories that settle in the bones and a strength you can carry into everyday life.

your facilitators

Born from a shared devotion to honest practice and human connection, Jonny and Natalija gathered the threads of their work yoga, sound, and community — to weave Soulravel into being. Drawing on years of teaching, sound facilitation, and conscious community-building, they curate retreats, trainings, and workshops that are as practical as they are soulful—spaces where you can breathe, learn, and remember your own way home.

  • Co-Founder Soulravel

    Jonny has spent the past decade teaching yoga across retreats, festivals, and trainings worldwide. Raised in a musical family, he felt early on how sound can soothe, awaken, and mend. But the industry’s ego and burnout pulled him away from that truth. An injury—and the disorientation that followed brought him to yoga in 2009. As his body recovered, he felt something larger recalibrate: breath steadying mind, presence softening the edges of life. He knew he wanted to share that pathway with others.

    Since then, Jonny has worked with many students and learned what the body keeps teaching: healing is personal. He brings clear anatomical understanding, but values curiosity over perfection, inviting people to explore, adapt, and trust their own pace. His gift is creating safe, unpressured rooms where emotions can move and expression feels welcome.

    Music never left; it matured. Today Jonny weaves years of sonic training into sound healing journeys and facilitator trainings, offering sound not as performance but as medicine: predictable, grounded, and deeply human. With reverence for lineage and a light touch, he encourages a life lived bravely and kindly: meet fear with breath, forgive often, love without keeping score.

  • Co-Founder, Soulravel

    Natalija is a yoga teacher (RYT+500) and certified sound practitioner whose work has always been guided by healing and human connection. Before teaching full-time, she spent years in social work, earning a Master’s degree and witnessing, up close, the resilience and tenderness of the human heart. Yoga arrived as devotion rather than hobby; it gave language to what she’d felt all along: practice can change how we relate and live.

    After years of studying and teaching yoga, somatics opened a new chapter. It asked a different kind of question: not How does the pose look? but What do you feel? In many traditional classrooms, the space to truly sense: slowly, curiously, without performance can be missed. Natalija’s work leans intentionally shifted toward that space. She teaches people to meet sensation as information, to listen for the small yes/no in the body, and to let awareness, not ambition set the pace. Again and again, she’s seen how this shift unlocks regulation, softness, and real change.

    In her classes, Natalija weaves the timeless threads of traditional teachings with somatic and embodiment practices that honor the body’s innate intelligence. Through movement & sound, she helps students attune to their inner landscape.

    Music has always been the heartbeat of Natalija’s life. Drawn to the healing potential of sound, she studied instruments and ancient modalities in India alongside their modern applications. Crystal bowls, Himalayan bowls, harmonium, voice each became a way of offering medicine. Together with Jonny, she composes and plays improvised soundscapes, creating grounded, spacious fields where participants can truly receive.

    What continues to inspire her is the simple courage people bring to practice, showing up as they are, again and again. Natalija’s work honors that courage with trauma-sensitive care and a steady invitation: listen deeply, move gently, and let compassion lead.

    Her greatest joy is to walk beside others as they cultivate a practice that is holistic, human, and truly their own.
