Emily's Story
Emily is a wellness & mindfulness guide from Ukraine who fell in love with the energy of Sri Lanka. Through healing practices, gentle guidance, and mindful experiences, she helps people reconnect with their inner peace and the beauty of the present moment.
After years of intensive training in various yoga traditions and healing modalities, Emily found her home at Surf & Zen Villa, where she combines her love for the ocean, yoga, and spiritual healing to create unique experiences for every guest.
