We went to classes here on consecutive days - the first was so excellent that we wanted to squeeze in a second before leaving Mirissa. Rukshan is a great teacher with a wealth of knowledge, and really takes stock of the students to make the classes interesting and exciting, different every time. I learned a lot, and enjoyed both classes immensely. The classes are long and challenging, so be prepared to push yourself but also definitely go in knowing your limits. The space is beautiful as well.

This guy and his wife are both really good at what they do and if the massage is more important to you than the ambience and piped music this is most definitely for you. Priyantha has amazing strength in his hands and forearms and he really makes sure he gets to every bit of you. I had the full body massage that lasted around an hour and it included an invigorating head massage with amazing smelling oils. He also throws in a bit of stretching at the end and you get a cold bottle of water when you arrive and hot tea just before you leave. His family home is a short tuk tuk out of Mirissa and he and his wife charge around 3500 LKR for the full body massage. I would definitely recommend a visit. I left feeling great and it felt nice supporting a local family business over a corporate style hotel one.

I went there with an open mind and thought that I would maybe want a loose pants made (Still I had my favourite jumpsuit with me just in case I would need them for to show my size or something).. Anyway I first chose the fabric and the Jayamini showed me some photos of clothes she had made. I saw one cute dress with a lovely top and asked if I could have similar top in a jumpsuit. That was just ok for Jayamini and she took some measures of me. After few day she texted me that I could pick it. Jayamini totally got a hug from me <3
