Your jungle home in Hiriketiya. Whether you’re here to move, to heal, to laugh, or just to be somewhere for a while: Arise is your space.
Yoga, breathwork, sound healing and more – nestled in the jungle overlooking a village temple. Find your own flow.
Welcome to Hiriketiya, welcome to Arise.
You’ve found your way to Hiriketiya: a place with a quiet magic that’s hard to explain but impossible to miss. Maybe you’re looking to slow down, go deeper, or just find somewhere that feels real.
That’s exactly why we built Arise. We wanted to add something that matched that energy and honored its beauty. Not just another beautiful space to visit, but one that feels like yours while keeping the Sri Lankan spirit alive.
Nestled in the jungle, overlooking a village stupa, Arise carries a quiet energy that invites you back to yourself. Come as you are. Move your body, meet good people, breathe some jungle air.
Our home away from home in the Sri Lankan jungle. A place to reconnect: with yourself, with others, with something that actually matters.

Spoiler: a day at Arise feels pretty good
You step off the main road, follow the dirt path through the jungle, and suddenly: the noise stops. Birds, wind, a stupa glowing through the palms. You’ve arrived somewhere different.
Whether you’re here to move, to reflect, to heal, or just to have a good time, a day at Arise looks something like this:
- Nestled in the jungle, overlooking a village stupa: you'll feel the energy the moment you arrive.
- Calm and grounded, without having had to try too hard.
- Part of a community, even if you arrived as a stranger, and leaving with a story to prove it.
- And yes, you might meet one of our street dogs along the way.

Posted on Google Eunice LeowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful shala hidden in the jungle. It was such a nice experience practicing yoga in nature. I took a slow flow class led by Natalie and was so glad I did.Posted on Google Eiry EdmundsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A lovely setting and fantastic instructor, patient and encouraging. Loved it xPosted on Google Rhiannon ThomasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did 2 classes. Yin one evening and power flow the next morning. It was so so good. Challenging enough while still being relaxing and mindful. Such kind and open staff and all the equipment was ready, clean and in good condition. Doing another class tomorrow because it’s so great. Totally recommend.Posted on Google Andreas MüllerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Durch Zufall aufgrund Empfehlung auf das Studio gekommen.

Hade en så bra och fin upplevelse här. Så tydlig och duktig instruktör!Posted on Google Bethany LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing class amongst nature. Our favourite yoga session during our time in Hiriketyia, we also attended one at salt house but would highly recommend arise yoga over salt house which was over crowded.Posted on Google Emma LawnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charlie gave the most amazing class! It was very relaxing and accessible. Beautiful studio and in the shade (it was lovely as it was absolutely boiling!) There’s a temple facing you as you do yoga. Some monkeys around too which were interested in what we were doing! And a dog (vaccinated) sometimes comes to relax/keep the monkeys from getting too close. Amazing experience and would recommend to anyone ❤️❤️Posted on Google Eli GotchacTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. J’ai suivi un cours de Hatha avec Zoé et un cours de Vinyasa avec Mimmi. Ces deux cours ont été très rafraîchissants et m’ont fait beaucoup de bien.
