The Observer, February 2006: "In a world in which Gucci has diversified into yoga mats,...Ulpotha offers a back-to-basics approach to yoga."
The Telegraph:
That afternoon I treated myself to a Sri Lankan sauna. This involves lying on a raised mat with pots of boiling water and herbal infusions underneath you. When I had sweated out enough impurities, I was asked to sit on a wooden stool amid dappled sunlight. An ancient villager, well versed in the therapeutic arts, then rubbed me down with a bunch of leaves, before dousing me with their combined infusion. There was more to come. Back in the manor house I got the full treatment from the [masseuses]... One does Swedish massage while the other specialises in a Japanese technique, which can only be described as acupuncture without the needles. By the end of this my limbs felt like jelly and I began to understand why my fellow guests went to bed so early. After three hours of yoga every morning and having your pressure points manipulated all afternoon, it is hardly surprising that you sleep like a baby.
