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 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

yoga synergy

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. It is strongly 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.

WHAT’S THE WEATHER LIKE?
South Sri Lanka’s weather is tropical, meaning there is a dry and wet season throughout the year. It is the wet season from May until October, and it rains on and off, sometimes more and other times less. The rest of the year is sunny and dryer, with occasional rain and better surf. Temperatures are relatively constant all year round, with an average of around 26-30°C.
