Our Testimonial
When I was invited to collaborate on a retreat in Unawatuna Sri Lanka in Jan 2021, I was a bit nervous at first as I did not know my way around the south. As it turned out, all I had to do was plan out the retreat virtually with my retreat partners (Sala and Jude) and simply arrive at an utterly gorgeous destination and share the gift of Yoga with a community of like minded people. I was able to concentrate on what I did best because every other detail was expertly handled by Sala and Jude who had extensive experience in hosting wellness projects in the South.
From securing a serene location to partnering with people who served the best vegan food that the participants have ever experienced to curating and executing flawless workshop style sessions, the Sacred Space Retreat was a brilliant success.
Working with Sala on this project was an amazing experience. It was also the first time I experienced a Mandala drawing workshop conducted by Sala which was part of the retreat curriculum.
In his beginner-friendly Mandala workshops, we learned how to create a mandala design using geometry, with the traditional tools of a compass, ruler and pencils.
I thoroughly enjoyed this meditative and purposeful art experience expertly led by Sala and highly recommend his Mandala workshops.

I have had the absolute pleasure of practicing yoga and sound meditation with Sala every Tuesday evening over the past few months and it has become something of a weekly ritual that I look forward to very much. His warmth and ease are absolutely disarming and I always feel welcome no matter how I arrive on the mat. He is truly amazing at holding space for me and my physical and mental state on any given day and I love that he always handpicks the flowers and lights the incense to add to the amazing views from his balcony before we begin. I always feel refreshed and rejuvenated at the end of our practice and I can’t recommend him enough as a truly gifted healer and yoga teacher.

I have followed Sala’s mandala meditation which was part of a three day Yoga and Meditation retreat. I found it therapeutic and relaxing . It has helped me focus more and helped to regulate my sleep. I was motivated to buy myself a book to practice at home as well . Much blessings to Sala and wishing him all the best.

When I read what Sala was offering with soul portraits I was really curious to explore this experience. Sala explained how it would work and we met online to have a chat and he found out more about me/guided me on a journey and from there he went away and created these visual feasts related to what I’d shared. It was a fun experience but also with depth and I really enjoyed working with Sala and what he created. He listened and took what I said and alchemised it into artwork that I love. Thank you again Sala.

Cannot recommend enough the magic of a session with Salasbananas – so much attention to detail, infusion of intuition and the joy of the unexpected.
‘As a retreat designer and facilitator, co-creating with Sala is a dream. His artistry in yoga, space holding, and unique and powerful experiences is something felt palpably. We need only to share a few core themes and the experience he generates is layered with intuition, intention, and insight offering a rich tapestry for guests to connect with, feel uniquely seen and step off the mat with new learnings and ease. For the past 2 years Sala and I have collaborated on my leadership and wellbeing retreat, Uncharted, on the shared topics of courage and freedom. I look forward to co-creating many more transformative travel offerings with Sala to assist anyone who feels called to step into their courage, and to feel free.’

I had the pleasure of working with Sala Watura on the design of my affirmation deck, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Sala’s creativity and attention to detail truly brought my vision to life. From our initial concept discussions to the final designs, Sala was not only professional but also incredibly supportive and insightful. His ability to translate abstract ideas into visually stunning and cohesive designs is remarkable. The affirmation deck has received countless compliments, and it’s all thanks to Sala’s expertise and dedication. I highly recommend Sala for anyone looking for a talented and reliable graphic designer who can turn your ideas into beautiful, impactful designs.
Thank you once again for your amazing work. It has been a pleasure collaborating with you!
