200hr Yoga Teacher Training

course overview

#1: Develop a strong and intelligent practice
Re-pattern the way you move through posture work, breath, and meditation. By the end of three weeks your practice will be safer, more expressive, and perfectly suited to your own body.

#2 Speak with clarity & confidence
Great teachers communicate well. From day one we use teaching games, role-play, and guided repetition to refine your cueing, improvisation, and class presence—so your unique voice comes through naturally.

#3: Understand the ‘why’ behind every pose
Interactive labs and a comprehensive training manual take you deep into anatomy, physiology, sequencing, philosophy, yoga history, industry know-how, and non-violent communication—giving you the theory to back up your practice.

#4: Start before you arrive in Sri Lanka
Secure your place and get instant access to A New Yoga—my online Yoga Synergy foundations course with video lessons, an e-book, and follow-along classes—so you arrive already one step ahead.

Lanka Yoga Retreat Venue in Sri Lanka

venue

lanka yoga

Situated on the calm shores of Koggala Lake, Lanka Yoga is the first purpose-built Yoga School & Retreat Centre where every teacher training is held. I designed the venue from the ground up to support immersive learning and deep rest.

  • Spaces to move & breathe – a light-filled lake-view shala, shady garden decks and quiet nooks for meditation.
  • Comfort you can feel good about – airy ensuite rooms, reliable A/C, an infinity pool, and chef-designed plant-based meals that showcase fresh Sri Lankan flavours.
  • Eco-minded by design – solar power, rain-water harvesting, village recycling initiatives and re-wilded gardens that welcome kingfishers and monkeys alike.

Whether you’re journaling on the jetty at sunrise or sharing laughs over lunch, the setting makes it easy to focus on practice and community.

what we teach

synergy vinyasa yoga

My team and I teach yoga based on the principles of Yoga Synergy, a practice that has a strong focus on working with modern human physiology. Although looking and feeling like Vinyasa Yoga, our approach is based on the principals of physiotherapy, and influenced by Taoist Chinese Qi Gong: the forgotten yoga of the East. This wisdom and evidence-based approach creates a safe practice accessible to students of all levels. The movements are precise, the postures purposeful, and the teaching style covers all learning preferences. Learn more about it here.

testimonials

Book this course, it is brilliant in so many ways!

This course has been so well developed, the days are well planned and the instructors really really experienced, fun and wise. All of which, makes for a brilliant training.
You will not be disappointed, Stefan has really put his heart into this course, he will teach you all you need to know and give you the right tools, if going off to do full time yoga teaching is your thing. Even if not, these three weeks together with him will push you physically and mentally but in such a positive way. Take this time for yourself to do this, you’ll treasure it forever.

The place was stunning too, lovely pool, great food and drinks, the breakfast included is delicious. And the staff very helpful and caring. My bed was heaven, which is good as you sleep like a light after a full day of training! – Kelly, UK

Completing my teacher training with Stefan exceeded my expectations.

Not only was he extremely knowledgeable in alignment based yoga, but he delivered the content with humour and reliability. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing his stories and experiences of taking classes in Rishikesh and around the world. This enriched the course and I was particularly impressed how he continues to learn and experience yoga as a student as well as a teacher. I have begun my own successful yoga school, teaching 6 classes a week and I’ve had great feedback from those attending. I credit my confidence and ability to guide everyone from beginners to regular students to what I learnt during the course. I highly recommend Stefan’s teacher training course! – Melanie, Australia

Stefan blew me away with his knowledge and teaching abilities.

The course was well structured and balanced and gave me a good understanding of modern yoga having done a training before in India, where classical/traditional had been the focus. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to be part of Stefan’s amazing training. Highly recommended. – Laurie, South Africa

Stefan is an incredible teacher.

He is knowledgeable, passionate, and has a great sense of humour. Teaching seems to come very naturally for him. He is super approachable and has a very authentic style. We also had two other teachers, Sara and Clare who were amazing and very helpful. The three week training was well-planned and a good mix of philosophy, asana, pranayama, and meditation. We started practicing teaching from day one which was so important and really helped to make us more comfortable. The group was not too big which meant that the teachers were able to give a lot of individual attention and help. Cannot recommend this course enough! – Maria, Sweden

A lifechanging experience!

Stefan and Sara are the perfect team for this training and they managed to communicate their profound Yoga knowledge in a simple and easy way. It has been three intense weeks fully packed with Yoga. Perfect to create new habits and better postures. Always thinking about our safety, Stefan managed to respond to each of his students and needs individually. I highly recommend this course to everyone who wants to become a Yoga teacher or just improve his/her Yoga skills. – Theresa, Austria

An incredible teacher training experience.

Stef is so knowledgeable and passionate, as well as engaging and funny. I learnt so much and am now teaching regular classes with lots of great feedback. Highly recommended teacher training. – Melanie, Australia

I completed my YTT with Stefan Camilleri Yoga in March 2018.

I really believe it’s one of the best decisions I have ever made and it has made a huge positive impact on my outlook, and life, ever since!
Stefan brings so much fun to the classroom and has a wealth of knowledge. His contagious energy kept me engaged through the entire course. Thanks for an awesome, life changing experience. – Pip, UK

This teacher training is like no other!

Sharing a fresh, modern perspective to the traditional practice, it is incredibly fascinating and inspiring to see Stefan take complex information and make it fun and accessible for all levels. Co-facilitating this training for the past two years with Stefan has been an absolute treat, learning more and more every training and building long-lasting connections. Highly recommended. – Sara Zavik, USA (former co-teacher)

Amazing experience. Stefan is a wonderful teacher.

He is good and very friendly. Always smiling! He taught us so much and gave us useful tools and tips from his personal experience in addition to all the solid knowledge. Anyone who wants to open a personal transformation has to do this kind of training, and particularly with Stefan and his crew. True people who love their job and who give you the informations in the right way. Many styles classes during the training and the most perfect experience of different yoga practice with different teachers. Meditation Classes, Anatomy Classes, Philosophy Classes, Asanas Classes, Art of teaching Classes, workshops, … I loved all. I highly recommend this school as a unique inner experience and a nice way to find the real power of Yoga. You will learn so much about yoga and about yourself. You will grow, cry, laugh, make new best friends and you won’t ever want to leave. Namaste – Sara, Switzerland

This training was life-changing.

I went in wanting to deepen my own practice and my understanding of yoga as a way of life, and I came out feeling that not only had I deepened my own practise, but that with this understanding I felt capable of teaching. Stefan has a unique style of teaching that is so personable and relatable. His genuine and authentic approach created a space where I could learn effectively – to ask questions, make mistakes and step outside of my comfort zone. An area of focus in the training that I felt to be very valuable as a practitioner and teacher was on alignment and anatomical movement. We went into great depth with this, and on this fundamental understanding of a safe, constructive practise I feel I can now explore other elements of the practice. An incredible training, with a super experienced, knowledgeable and amazing lead teacher. I would highly recommend to all practitioners and teachers. Thank you Stef! – Clare, Australia

One of the best experiences in my life!

A well rounded and fun introduction into teaching yoga. The combination between theory and practice is perfect (you start teaching from the very first week). The focus on safety, anatomy and the science of yoga while still including the more traditional philosophy and history is all I could ask for! Can’t wait for additional trainings to be available! – Esmée, Netherlands
