Rejuvenating Yoga & Sound Healing
Yoga guided by Florentina Lam-Clark
Immerse yourself in a rejuvenating retreat that blends gentle yoga, breathwork, and healing sound therapy. Guided by our expert teacher, Flo Lam-Clark, this experience harmonises movement and vibration to restore balance, reduce stress, and deepen relaxation in the tranquil setting of Ulpotha.
Morning yoga offers an energy boost and deep stretches with alignment-based Vinyasa Flow suitable for all levels, emphasising breath to soothe and rejuvenate. Afternoon yoga provides nourishing calm with restorative practices like sound healing, breathwork, meditation, Yin, and Yoga Nidra. During the retreat, Flo integrates yoga philosophy into sessions and as an Ayurvedic practitioner, shares wisdom and practices for health and wellbeing.
Regardless of your experience, you'll feel nourished and revitalised.
London-based, Florentina has taught for more than ten years at TriYoga and studios across the city, as well as retreats in Egypt, Morocco, France and the UK. Her roots are in Hatha and Vinyasa Flow. She draws on yogic texts and long study with Jason Crandell, Doug Keller and Judith Hanson Lassater.
Classes are creative and exploratory, with a clear focus on alignment, breath, and the felt sense in the body. Expect steady guidance, space to listen and a practice that feels both nourishing and alive.
At Ulpotha, Florentina takes inspiration from the elements. Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether shape the rhythm of the day, along with sound, space and simple Ayurvedic ideas. You will also explore the koshas and the chakras in a practical way that helps you notice how everything connects.
Morning sessions build strength, stamina and flexibility with optional challenges for those who want them. You are encouraged to move at your pace and work with curiosity. The aim is simple. Leave feeling balanced, uplifted, relaxed and calm.
What you will experience with Flo:
- Breath led sequences with thoughtful alignment
- Options for all levels and bodies
- Elements, Ayurveda, koshas and chakras made practical
- Time to notice, feel and rest
Florentina draws inspiration from yogic texts, and her teachers Jason Crandell, Doug Keller & Judith Hanson Lassater.
Her classes are creative, explorative, fun and nourishing with attention to detail in alignment, breath and awareness of felt sensations in the body.
Inspired by the natural immersive beauty of Ulpotha, Flo will be drawing upon the elements of the Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, sound and space and Ayurveda (the science of life) as the basis of our daily yoga practice. We will also explore the different Koshas (layers and sheaths) and the chakras (energetic body) that make up the intricate web of who we are and all the elements in the universe we are connected to.
Her morning classes in Ulpotha will offer sequences to help you build strength, stamina and flexibility, with some optional challenges for the more experienced yogis. She encourages you to develop your practice according to your pace. Her aim is that you will leave feeling nicely balanced & uplifted, yet relaxed and calm.
Evening classes will be a mix of yin and restorative yoga alternating with deliciously relaxing yoga nidra infused with the ethereal and mesmerising sounds of crystal singing bowls to delight and soothe the senses.

Visiting therapist
Elke Scior
Elke was born in Germany and has been living in Ibiza since 2012, where she offers Massage Therapy, Clarity Breathwork Sessions, and Detox Programs all year around. She has had 15 years of experience in Bodywork and Holistic Healing.
Her journey began in Germany by practicing Yoga, which led her to travel to India, where she spent several years studying Iyengar Yoga and Ayurveda. During this time, she learned many different massage techniques including Meridian and Marma point massage, deep tissue, and foot reflexology. On this path, she also trained in breathwork and Shamanic healing, which is weaved into her sessions.
She continues to study new therapies, Nutrition, and different ways of detoxifying the system as today stress and emotions can manifest as pain and discomfort in our body.
Elke's massages are a unique combination of different styles to bring back flexibility and harmony to body, mind, and spirit. She works very individually, as every person has different needs.
Through massaging the whole body with gentle, deep strokes, she helps you tap into what's underneath the surface, feel your emotions, and experience a release, which brings a deep relaxation at the end of the session, where you feel energized and rejuvenated.
Resident therapist
Dilani Kandegama
Dilani brings 24 years of massage therapy experience to Ulpotha, with professional qualifications in deep-tissue and relaxation massage, as well as foot reflexology. She works at a physiotherapy clinic in Colombo, where she delivers therapeutic massage and supports patient rehabilitation programmes.
Before that, she spent nine years as a sports centre therapist at Hilton Colombo Residencies, working with guests from across the world. She currently also provides prenatal and postnatal massage support and works as a personal therapist for diplomats based in Sri Lanka.
Dilani believes every body tells its own story. She takes time to understand what each guest needs before they get onto the table, and shapes every session around that.
