    Description

    Hello there, my name is Katalin, I am a yoga instructor and launched my yoga studio located in the tropical garden of Hotel in Dambulla, Sri Lanka, in partnership with the hotel owner. As I am not in Sri Lanka all year round, we are keen to ensure the continuity of the yoga activity by extending the yoga teaching team. The project's name is a tribute to the many yellow birds nesting in the garden.
