Rukshan Yoga

Rukshan is an incredible, heart centered, fun teacher. He teaches his classes from his beautiful shala which is nestled amongst beautiful Sri Lanka forest and which also has incredible, pure positive energy there. Rukshan has so much knowledge and the willingness to share this knowledge with all people who want to learn from him. His classes are inspiring, well balanced and a lot of fun. He has such a genuine way with people and I am so grateful for all that I have learned from him and been able to experience in my life because of him. Namasta Chanaka Rukshan?????

Amazing and beautiful place up on a hill in Mirissa with great and well balanced classes. Very professional teaching and perfect space for peaceful meditation surrounded by nature and a nice view to the ocean. Love it!

I had 3 great sessions at Rukshan Yoga in Mirissia. The Shala is located close to a hilltop with ocean view and is a great space to practise yoga ?? Guru Rukshan has knowledge about different styles of yoga like hatha, ashtanga, vinyasa ++ and then we also practised the 5 Tibetan Rites in one of the combination classes in the morning. 2 hours practise with tea after the session for 1900 rupiees was really good value for money ?? His assistent teacher was also great in her assisting to get you into the right positions and for the relaxation session at the end of each class. Since the Shala is halfway open in the outdoors you might be challenged by mosquitos but they have repellent to offer you, so remember to put on before class ?? Looking forward to come back. Namaste from Karoline from Norway

This was my first approach with yoga and I could not expect anything better than Rukshan lessons. Every lesson is different from the other and Rukshan and his family make us feel confortable and peaceful. ???

It was the best yoga I've done while traveling Sri Lanka. Every class was different, challenging and rewarding. The tea and cookies after the class gave a great opportunity to talk, exchange experience and relax. I will come back!

Rukshan and his family create a comfortable and welcoming environment in an incredible location. I arrived with little experience and learnt so much about yoga in 5 sessions. Rukshan's teaching style and sense of humour made practicing yoga here fun but also challenging and educational. I'd highly recommend if your staying in Mirrissa

I feel so lucky i had a chance to attend to Rukshan teaching. Philosophy, meditation, puja, asanas, chanting, everything is there in such an authetic way, and from the heart. I will spend more time next time.

I have been doing Hatha yoga for almost 2 years and yoga with Rukshan is definetely the best experience I've had in my life! He is an excellent yogi who is able to adapt a practice for everyone, from beginners to advanced yogis. Visiting his practices I have got a lot of new knowledge, and in the future I am sure that I come back to visit his month yoga course. I recommend Rukshan's yoga practices for everyone! You will never regret! P.s. Thank you so much, Rukshan, for those wonderful lessons you gave me. Om!

Thank you so much for a wonderful session. We so thoroughly enjoyed everything about your class, from the beautiful calming and grounding meditation and pranayama practice, to the asana practice too. Your aura is very soothing and your instruction both clear, fun, and loving. I sincerely hope I get the chance to practice with you again in the near future. Namaste!

Thanks Rukshan, we did a few sessions of pranayama and it was amazing for me, shifted so much stuck energy, a lovely , gentle approach and intuitive teaching. Loved it and sending many blessings from ByronBay. Xx

Thanks, Rukshan! Joining you spontaneously along with my family to Matara was definitely the highlight of our trip! I loved every bit of it - the class, the absolutely amazing temple visited, the coconut breaks! I highly recommend joining the yoga classes with Rukshan! Unfortunately, I didnt get to join the ones at the temple but in Matara we had an amazing 2h class combinining different types of yoga which makes it even more interesting. Id love to come back for longer time/classe/course... ?? Thanks again!

Wonderful holistic yoga meditation drop-in classes at the beautiful hill-top temple in Mirissa – different every morning, Rukshan is a very talented & accommodating teacher who uses his wealth of knowledge to give his students a wonderful mixed practice including different aspects of many different traditional practices; so much more than a western ‘yoga workout’, Rukshan combines meditation, breathing exercises & physical asanas with information & discussion on the philosophy of yoga. Rukshan is very skilled in catering for all levels; for beginners & experienced yoga teachers alike & is more than willing to adapt classes to the preferences of participants. On every day including the weekend at the moment & good value for money, I cannot recommend Rukshan & his classes highly enough x
