ACCOMMODATION

Our large and beautiful Alpine chalet is perfectly located in the Chamonix valley for easy access to areas of interest, beautiful hiking trails and boasts stunning views of Mont Blanc. The chalet is just as intimate and cosy as it is spectacular and luxurious, thanks to its clever design with several sumptuous social areas.

The chalet is a former mill and has been built and decorated by the most sought after artisans in the valley, so every aspect has been finished to perfection and careful attention. The lovely yoga space is in the heart of the chalet with floor to ceiling windows that let in plenty of light under the beautiful wooden roof beams. The chalet also has its own spa area with a sauna and treatment room for the on-site massages.

It is centrally located in the Chamonix valley in the quaint village of Les Tines, a short distance from Chamonix town, with breath-taking panoramic views of the French Alps from the hot tub, sun terraces and garden.

HEALTHY EATING

The quality of the food on our retreats is very important to us. You will enjoy healthy, nutritional meals carefully chosen by our excellent chef to complement the retreat perfectly. The gourmet food on our retreats is absolutely delicious and mostly vegan or vegetarian but you can opt for fish or meat when booking your retreat. We use organic and local produce where possible.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

THE HIKES

Experience guided walks through the stunning French Alps.

Our gentle half day hikes last 2 – 3 hours with plenty of rest time to take in the incredible views. No prior fitness level is required. Our qualified and experienced walking guide carefully chooses trails to suit the abilities of our clients. She will make sure no-one is left behind, while imparting knowledge on the local flora and fauna.

On the full day hike we set off to explore some of Chamonix’s best hiking trails. Around midday we make ourselves comfortable in an idyllic setting for some high mountain yoga or meditation followed by a healthy packed lunch with impressive views like those at Lac Blanc. When rested, we continue our inspirational journey through the spectacular Mont Blanc mountain range before returning to the chalet to enjoy a fresh healthy smoothie and relax in the hot tub.

All hikes are optional.

WHAT TO BRING

Chamonix Mont Blanc is the most beautiful Alpine region in Europe and as with all mountain regions, the weather is unpredictable. It can be extremely hot on sunny days and occasionally very cold even in summer, so it’s a good idea to check the weather report right before you travel.

We recommend bringing hiking boots or sensible outdoor footwear, sunglasses, sun cream, a sun hat, a bathing suit (for the hot tub / spa), a backpack, a waterproof coat and warm layers. You may also want to bring bed socks or slippers to wear around the chalet. Don’t worry if you come unprepared or forget anything, there are plenty of shops in town.

We provide all yoga equipment (mats, blocks, bricks, straps, bolsters, eye pillows and blankets).

We also provide towels and bathrobes at the chalet so no need to bring your own.

‘The whole experience was beautiful. The setting, the chalet, the food, the yoga, the massage, the food, the walks, the spa day, the food, and the total vibe – calm but energising, excellently organised but relaxed – were all perfect. The food was delicious, healthy, satisfying. El and Anna were totally brilliant. I loved the food. The yoga was inspirational, every day.

HEALTHY EATING

Goof food is always an important part of a Bluerise retreat, and Sri Lanka is one of our favourite places to eat.

Throughout the week we’ll enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared with fresh local ingredients, with plenty of delicious Sri Lankan flavours alongside healthy, nourishing dishes.

Much of the produce at Koslanda is grown organically on the property, including coffee, pepper, turmeric, spices, vegetables and fruit.

Morning coffee, herbal drinks, fresh juices and unlimited herbal teas are included throughout your stay, as well as an evening mocktail.

Vegetarian and vegan diets can be catered for, with fish and chicken also available. Please let us know about any allergies or dietary requirements when you book.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Your wonderful instructor for this retreat, Jess Rose, is a huge part of what makes this week so special.

Originally from Kansas City and based in Europe for more than a decade, Jess teaches workshops, retreats and teacher trainings around the world. She has also taught more than 50,000 students online through her yoga programmes.

Jess teaches alignment based Vinyasa and Hatha yoga, combining her knowledge of sustainable alignment and biomechanics with creative sequencing, thoughtful themes and a wonderful sense of playfulness and humour.

Throughout the week, mornings will begin with energising Vinyasa flow, opening up the body and breath through dynamic, creative sequences that challenge you without ever feeling aggressive. Evening practices will be slower and more restorative, combining gentle yoga, longer holds, deep breath work and meditation to release tension and encourage a sense of calm and stillness.

Jess’s teaching is inspiring, warm and joyful, helping you explore your own strength and potential while remembering the simple beauty of moving, breathing and being present.

The classes will be suitable for all levels, including those new to yoga.

SUSTAINABILITY

One of the things we love about Living Heritage Koslanda is its commitment to protecting the extraordinary landscape that surrounds it.

The retreat sits within 80 acres of rewilded forest, where more than 5,000 trees have been planted to help restore biodiversity and create habitat for local wildlife. Much of the food is grown organically on site, including coffee, pepper, turmeric, fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices.

The property has been built using largely natural, locally sourced materials and traditional Sri Lankan building techniques, employs people from the surrounding rural community and currently generates around 35% of its electricity through solar power.

EXPLORING SRI LANKA

There will be plenty of opportunity to explore beyond Koslanda during the week. We’ll walk through beautiful tea country, discover waterfalls and wild swimming spots and experience some of the spectacular landscapes of Sri Lanka’s hill country.

For those wanting to explore further, optional excursions include the famous hill country train to Ella, ancient temples and hidden shrines, village and paddy farming walks, birdwatching and sections of the beautiful Pekoe Trail.

WHAT TO BRING

We recommend bringing light, comfortable clothing, slip on shoes or sandals, good walking shoes, sunglasses, sun cream, mosquito repellent, a swimming costume and a sun hat.

As we’ll be in Sri Lanka’s hill country, it’s also worth bringing a light jumper or layer for cooler mornings and evenings, and a lightweight waterproof jacket.

All yoga equipment will be provided, but if you prefer to practise on your own mat, you’re very welcome to bring it with you.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

THE EXPERIENCE

Rather than rushing between famous landmarks, this retreat has been designed to introduce you to a quieter, more authentic side of Japan.

Our journey combines vibrant cities, historic castle towns, peaceful riverside hot springs and traditional mountain communities, with plenty of time to slow down and appreciate each destination.

There is a moderate amount of walking throughout the week as we explore temples, historic streets, riverside paths and local neighbourhoods, but this is not a hiking retreat.

Our yoga sessions will take place in local temples, while free time allows you to explore at your own pace. Visit the hilltop castle, wander the quiet streets, discover artisan shops or simply sit beside the river and watch daily life unfold.

Gujo Hachiman offers a wonderfully peaceful and authentic glimpse into traditional Japan.

We recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes, lightweight clothing suitable for October, a warm layer for cooler evenings and a waterproof jacket.

ACCOMMODATION

Our large and beautiful Alpine chalet is perfectly located in the Chamonix valley for easy access to areas of interest, beautiful hiking trails and boasts stunning views of Mont Blanc. The chalet is just as intimate and cosy as it is spectacular and luxurious, thanks to its clever design with several sumptuous social areas.

The chalet is a former mill and has been built and decorated by the most sought after artisans in the valley, so every aspect has been finished to perfection and careful attention. The lovely yoga space is in the heart of the chalet with floor to ceiling windows that let in plenty of light under the beautiful wooden roof beams. The chalet also has its own spa area with a sauna and treatment room for the on-site massages.

It is centrally located in the Chamonix valley in the quaint village of Les Tines, a short distance from Chamonix town, with breath-taking panoramic views of the French Alps from the hot tub, sun terraces and garden.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

THE HIKES

Experience guided walks through the stunning French Alps.

Our gentle half day hikes last 2 – 3 hours with plenty of rest time to take in the incredible views. No prior fitness level is required. Our qualified and experienced walking guide carefully chooses trails to suit the abilities of our clients. She will make sure no-one is left behind, while imparting knowledge on the local flora and fauna.

On the full day hike we set off to explore some of Chamonix’s best hiking trails. Around midday we make ourselves comfortable in an idyllic setting for some high mountain yoga or meditation followed by a healthy packed lunch with impressive views like those at Lac Blanc. When rested, we continue our inspirational journey through the spectacular Mont Blanc mountain range before returning to the chalet to enjoy a fresh healthy smoothie and relax in the hot tub.

All hikes are optional.

WHAT TO BRING

Chamonix Mont Blanc is the most beautiful Alpine region in Europe and as with all mountain regions, the weather is unpredictable. It can be extremely hot on sunny days and occasionally very cold even in summer, so it’s a good idea to check the weather report right before you travel.

We recommend bringing hiking boots or sensible outdoor footwear, sunglasses, sun cream, a sun hat, a bathing suit (for the hot tub / spa), a backpack, a waterproof coat and warm layers. Don’t panic if you come unprepared or forget anything, there are plenty of shops in town.

We provide all yoga equipment (mats, blocks, bricks, straps, bolsters, eye pillows and blankets).

We also provide towels and bathrobes at the chalet so no need to bring your own.

TESTIMONIALS

‘The whole experience was beautiful. The setting, the chalet, the food, the yoga, the massage, the food, the walks, the spa day, the food, and the total vibe – calm but energising, excellently organised but relaxed – were all perfect. The food was delicious, healthy, satisfying. El and Anna were totally brilliant. I loved the food. The yoga was inspirational, every day. But the aspect that perhaps I wasn’t expecting, and which surprised me, was the power, joy, and inspiration I gained from my fellow guests. Thank you all.
And did I mention the food..?’ – Simon Blake

‘The other guests were wonderful; inspiring and real pleasure to spend time with. Everyone involved in running the retreat was very welcoming, friendly and really fun to have around. Eleanor and Anna made us all feel really at home and looked after us brilliantly. Wonderful, inspiring, responsive yoga teacher. I had the best massage I have in years. The food was excellent, absolutely delicious. The views were magnificent. Perfect balance of structure and freedom.’ – Fiona Paveley

‘Had the most relaxing week. Such a great experience. Everything was so smooth, well organised. Awesome yoga and hikes of course. The venus is fabulous, with indoor spa, pool & jacuzzi, in-house cinema …the food was incredible. On top of all that, it was so lovely to meet new people and it truly ended up being a beautiful, fulfilling and humbling human experience. Thanks to all of you.’ – Morgane Boucherit

Morning Practice

Start your day feeling grounded, energised, and clear with your Morning Energising Yoga class designed to awaken your body and focus your mind.

We begin gently, arriving on the mat with intentional breath work to clear the mind and ignite vitality. Through guided pranayama, we will stimulate circulation, awaken our nervous system, and create space for clarity and calm.

From there, we move into a fluid vinyasa flow style practice that links breath with movement. Expect a balanced sequence that gradually builds warmth: sun salutations, standing postures, light twists, and heart-opening shapes to release stiffness and invite strength. Options and variations are offered throughout, making the practice accessible whether you’re newer to yoga or looking to deepen your experience.

Everyday will be a brand new sequence aimed to leave you feeling refreshed, empowered, and ready to meet your day with steady energy and an open heart.
