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.


venue
lanka yoga
Situated on the shore of Koggala Lake, Lanka Yoga is Sri Lanka’s first purpose-built Yoga School & Retreat Centre where every teacher training is held. I designed the venue from the ground up to be the perfect space for yoga trainings.
- Spaces to move & breathe – a light-filled lake-view shala, shady garden decks and quiet nooks for rest.
- Comfort you can feel good about – airy ensuite rooms, reliable A/C, an infinity pool, and chef-designed plant-based meals with fresh Sri Lankan flavours.
- Eco-minded by design – solar power, rain-water harvesting, village recycling initiatives and re-wilded gardens that welcome local birds and monkeys alike.
Whether you’re relaxing on the jetty enjoying sunrise or sharing laughs over lunch, the setting makes it easy to focus on your reason for coming.

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 principles 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.

FAQ’s
WHY DO A YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IN SRI LANKA RATHER THAN BALI OR INDIA?
Bali and India are both great — but they’re saturated. You’ll be one of hundreds of YTT students competing for the same spots, in a scene that’s been heavily optimised for yoga tourists. Sri Lanka’s south coast is quieter, genuinely beautiful, and easier to be in — warm water, good food, no hustle. It’s also straightforward to get to from Europe and Australia, visas are simple, and you get significantly more for your money than you would in Bali.
WHAT IS THE 200HR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IN SRI LANKA?
This is a three-week, 200-hour yoga teacher training held at Lanka Yoga on Koggala Lake, Sri Lanka’s south coast. It’s a Yoga Alliance certified program grounded in the Yoga Synergy method — a science-based approach to movement developed by physiotherapists and influenced by traditional yogic philosophy. Small groups, a 5:1 student-to-teacher ratio, and all accommodation and meals included. You leave with your RYT 200 certification and the practical skills to actually teach.
IS THE COURSE YOGA ALLIANCE CERTIFIED?
Yes. The school and course are registered with Yoga Alliance, the world’s most widely recognised yoga organisation. On successful completion you receive your RYT 200 certificate, which qualifies you to teach anywhere in the world. We’re also a registered yoga school (RYS 200), so your certification carries weight whether you’re teaching locally or internationally.
DO I NEED EXPERIENCE TO JOIN THE 200HR YTT?
Stefan recommends at least six months of regular yoga practice before joining. You don’t need to be advanced — the program is designed to meet you where you are and build from there. What matters more than your level is a genuine interest in yoga and a willingness to study and practice intensively for three weeks. If you’re unsure whether you’re ready, just get in touch.
WHAT DOES AN AVERAGE DAY AT YTT LOOK LIKE?
Every day is different, with the course evolving throughout the three weeks. To keep energy levels high, we break things up within the lectures to work with the natural energy rhythms of the day. A typical day looks like this:
7.00 – 9.00 am | Morning Asana and Meditation
9.00 – 10.00 am | Breakfast
10.00 – 1.00 pm | Review, workshops and lectures
1.00 – 3.00 pm | Lunch/Free Time
3.00 – 4.00 pm | A short fun lecture
4.00 – 5.00 pm | Lectures and workshops
5.00 – 6.15 pm | Practice teaching work
6.15 – 6.30 pm | Closing circle
6:30 pm onwards | Dinner and free time
WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PRICE?
Everything you need for three weeks. That means all classes, workshops, lectures, and practice-teaching sessions, a printed and digital 200-page training manual, your Yoga Alliance certificate, and lifetime access to A New Yoga — Stefan’s online Yoga Synergy foundations course (€150 value) — which you get from the moment you book. You also get access to a private graduate group for ongoing mentoring and job leads after the training.
WHAT ARE THE ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS AND COSTS?
There are three room types, all on-site at Lanka Yoga with three chef-prepared vegan meals a day included:
- €3,200 — luxury three or four-person shared room
- €3,500 — deluxe twin share
- €4,000 — private queen room
All prices include your €400 deposit. The venue is purpose-built and sits directly on Koggala Lake — this isn’t a guesthouse with a yoga room added on.
WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE IN SRI LANKA DURING THE TRAINING DATES?
The September and October training dates fall in Sri Lanka’s transitional wet season on the south coast. Temperatures stay warm — typically 26–30°C — and rain comes and goes, sometimes more, sometimes less. It doesn’t stop training, and it keeps things lush and green. If you’re after guaranteed sunshine, the dry season runs November through April, but the lake setting at Lanka Yoga makes it a comfortable place to be year-round.
HOW DO I GET TO SRI LANKA, AND IS IT EASY TO TRAVEL THERE?
Sri Lanka is well connected — direct and one-stop flights from Europe take roughly 10–12 hours, and from Australia around 11–14 hours depending on your city. You fly into Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo, then it’s a 2–2.5 hour transfer south to Koggala. Visas are handled online in advance through the official ETA system and are straightforward for most nationalities. Sri Lanka is safe, welcoming, and well set up for international visitors.
WHAT IS THERE TO DO OUTSIDE OF TRAINING HOURS?
The south coast keeps you well occupied. There’s surf down the road at Ahangama and Midigama, beaches to explore, snorkelling, boat rides on the lake, massage on-site, and plenty of good cafes and local restaurants nearby. Lanka Yoga is also close to Galle Fort — one of Sri Lanka’s most visited historic sites — if you want to make a day of it. That said, most people find three weeks goes fast. There’s enough to see without needing to go far.
