About Rila Yoga
a lot of heart & a growing community

Rila Yoga exists for one simple reason: to give you a place where you can come home to yourself.

Not just when life feels hard. Not only when you're searching for answers. But in all of it the highs, the lows, the messy middles, and the beautifully ordinary days in between.

Yoga for All of Life's Moments

Rila Yoga is a space to slow down, breathe deeper and soak in the essence of this lifetime with more joy, presence and ease.

Co-founded by Ricardo, born in Sri Lanka, and Nicola, born in the UK, Rila Yoga brings together East and West, and a shared love for yoga as something that can be felt, lived and carried into everyday life.

Rooted in the teachings of Hatha Yoga, our work is about creating meaningful spaces for people to reconnect with themselves, with each other and with the simple beauty of being alive.


Built on Practice, Rooted in Community.

From yoga teacher trainings in Sri Lanka to classes, workshops and retreats between Sri Lanka and the UK, Rila Yoga is here for students who are ready to deepen their practice with curiosity, softness and heart.

Our approach honours the roots of yoga while keeping the teachings grounded, human and alive in modern life, moving beyond shapes, and into the way we breathe, listen, learn and live.

What We Stand For

Three things guide everything we do:

Soul - We believe in the subtle things. The art in small moments. The way a deep breath can shift everything. We notice, we care, and we create space for what really matters.

Clarity - No fluff, no overwhelm, no pretence. Just honest, high-quality teaching and clear communication about what we offer and how we can support you.

Consistency - We show up with care and a space that feels the same every time you walk in. You can count on us to be here.

More Than a Studio

At Rila Yoga, you're not a number. You’re a part of what we’re creating here. A home away from home in Weligama, that supports you in every edge of life, a continuous return for your soul.
