what you’ll learn

This training focuses on Vinyasa + Yin as complementary practices, blending intelligent sequencing, Yin Yoga principles, functional movement awareness, yoga philosophy, meditation, and nervous system regulation. The curriculum is designed to support strength, mobility, resilience, and balance while remaining accessible to a wide range of bodies and experience levels.

You’ll explore energetic anatomy and yoga therapy foundations to better understand how to adapt practices for diverse needs. While weaving together dynamic flow and restorative stillness, the course emphasizes skillful, conscious, and sustainable Vinyasa + Yin teaching.

Prana Vinyassa

This module explores Vinyasa as a breath-led, intelligently sequenced flow that unites movement, intention, and energetic awareness. You’ll learn to create creative yet sustainable sequences using wave-like transitions and purposeful pacing, cultivating strength, fluidity, and presence. Emphasis is placed on responsiveness rather than rigid choreography.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is taught as both a physical and energetic counterbalance to dynamic movement. You’ll study long-held, floor-based postures through the lenses of fascia, joints, and meridian theory, learning how to guide students safely into stillness. This module highlights Yin as a powerful practice for nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and deep embodiment.

Kundalini Yoga

This module introduces Kundalini Yoga as a practical system for cultivating energy, awareness, and resilience. You’ll explore kriya, mantra, mudra, and breath as tools to support vitality and clarity, with an emphasis on grounded integration into modern classes and daily life.

Somatic Yoga

Somatic Yoga shifts the focus from performing shapes to sensing internal experience. Through slow, mindful movement and neuromuscular re-education, you’ll learn how to support release, coordination, and embodied awareness. This module strengthens your capacity to teach with sensitivity, adaptability, and respect for the body’s innate intelligence.

Breathwork

Breathwork is explored as a key tool for regulating energy, emotions, and mental states. You’ll learn functional breathing techniques, pranayama, and regulation-based practices that can be safely integrated into both Vinyasa and Yin classes, supporting clarity, balance, and nervous system health.

Ayurveda

This module introduces the foundations of Ayurveda as a practical framework for understanding constitution, balance, and lifestyle. You’ll explore the doshas, daily rhythms, and seasonal cycles, learning how to apply this wisdom to yoga practice, sequencing, and self-care with an emphasis on sustainability.

Yoga Therapy

Yoga Therapy foundations are presented through a modern, accessible lens, emphasizing adaptation, choice, and individual needs. You’ll explore common patterns of imbalance and learn how to modify practices to support mobility, recovery, and nervous system regulation, strengthening your confidence in inclusive teaching.

Meditation

Meditation is taught as an embodied and approachable practice. You’ll explore methods such as breath awareness, mantra, and mindfulness while learning how they influence the mind and nervous system. The focus is on cultivating presence, self-regulation, and clarity both on and off the mat.

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra is presented as a guided practice of deep rest and conscious relaxation. You’ll learn its structure, language, and intention, along with its effects on stress, sleep, and emotional restoration. This module supports you to confidently guide others into profound states of rest and integration.

Energetic Anatomy

This module weaves together the chakra system, nadis, koshas, and subtle body awareness into a clear, practical framework. You’ll learn how energy moves through the body and how to design practices that support balance, vitality, and emotional intelligence.

Yoga Philosophy

Yoga Philosophy is explored as living, applicable wisdom. You’ll engage with key teachings from the Yoga Sutras and related texts, learning how to translate them into meaningful, modern applications that bring depth, integrity, and context to your teaching and life.

I’m Jess Dezaux, a 500-hour E-RYT and founder of the Yogánica Embodied Flow Method—a multidisciplinary practice blending movement, breathwork, somatics, and energetic anatomy.

I believe yoga can change the way we move through our lives—how we feel in our bodies, how we relate to ourselves, and how we connect with others. It invites us to soften, to wake up, and to live with more meaning.

My intention is to guide students back to themselves—to the power, clarity, and creativity already within. When we feel grounded and inspired from the inside out, we naturally show up in ways that feel authentic and aligned.

Each training is a space for community and personal evolution—a journey of remembering who we are and how we can genuinely contribute to the world around us.

testimonials

Lanka Yoga -200-hour integrated YTT - testimonial from Fliss

Fliss, U.K.

I couldn’t recommend Jess’s yoga teacher training enough! Having already done a YTT previously, I was initially skeptical about doing another but Jess brought the most amazing physical practice together with a truly inspiring spiritual and philosophical journey. Jess has an immense knowledge, an incredible warmth that builds connection with people immediately, and of course, a completely rocking practice that leaves you always wanting more.

Lanka Yoga -200-hour integrated YTT - testimonial from Lola

Lola, France

I’m on my third teacher training with Jess. This could sum up pretty much everything. Jess is passionate about yoga philosophy and its practice as a whole, and she’s the best at sharing it with her students. It definitely became more than just ‘practicing a sport.’ Thanks to Jess, I’ve integrated yoga philosophy into my daily life. I could not recommend her and her trainings enough!

Lanka Yoga -200-hour integrated YTT - testimonial from Ian

Ian, U.K.

I loved my yoga teacher training with Jess. She brings a rare passion for yoga—from the physical practice to the theory and philosophy behind it—and her knowledge runs deep. She genuinely cares about her students and encourages each of us to take the practice into our own lives and share its goodness in our own way. I’d highly recommend anyone considering a YTT to do it with Jess

frequently asked questions

Who is the 100-hour Vinyasa + Yin yoga teacher training for?

This training suits two types of people. If you already hold a 200-hour certification and want to add Vinyasa and Yin to your teaching toolkit, this gives you 100 hours of YACEP continuing education credits. If you’re a dedicated practitioner who wants a focused immersion without the full three-week commitment of a 200-hour training, this is a great fit — you don’t need to want to teach to get something meaningful from it.

What's the difference between a 100-hour and a 200-hour yoga teacher training?

A 200-hour training is a complete Yoga Alliance RYT-200 certification — it covers everything you need to start teaching from scratch. A 100-hour is more focused. It goes deep into a specific style (in this case Vinyasa + Yin) rather than covering the full breadth of a foundational programme. If you’re unsure which suits you, we have a helpful guide on choosing the right yoga teacher training in Sri Lanka. You can also compare all our trainings on the yoga teacher trainings page.

Is this training Yoga Alliance certified?

Yes. This 100-hour Vinyasa + Yin training is certified by Yoga Alliance International and carries 100 hours of YACEP (continuing education) credits. It’s not the same as an RYT-200 qualification — if you want that, check our 200-hour Synergy Vinyasa or 200-hour Hatha trainings.

Do I need to be experienced to join?

We recommend at least six months of consistent yoga practice. You don’t need to be advanced, but the training moves quickly and covers a lot of ground, so some familiarity with yoga postures and terminology will help you get more from it.

Will I be ready to teach after this training?

Yes. You’ll practise teaching every day, receive direct feedback from Jess, and leave with the tools to lead a Vinyasa + Yin class with confidence. If you already hold a 200-hour certification, this adds a clear specialisation to your teaching. If you’re newer to yoga, it gives you a strong practical foundation — though you’d need a 200-hour qualification to register as a Yoga Alliance certified teacher.

Why do a yoga teacher training in Sri Lanka?

Short version: it’s beautiful, affordable, uncrowded, and easy to reach from Europe and Australia. The south coast is genuinely stunning — warm water, great food, friendly people — without the tourist-mill feeling of Bali or Rishikesh. Your training takes place at Lanka Yoga on Koggala Lake, a purpose-built yoga school designed specifically for immersive learning. If you want the longer version, there’s a detailed blog post on 10 real-world reasons to train in Sri Lanka.

What's included in the price?

Everything you need for the two weeks: 12 nights of accommodation (all rooms overlook Koggala Lake), three vegan meals daily, all training sessions and materials, printed and digital workbooks, bonus online modules, and 100 hours of Yoga Alliance International YACEP credits. Flights, travel insurance, and personal excursions aren’t included. Prices start at €1,900 depending on your room choice.

Will there be free time?

Yes. Evenings are yours to rest or explore, and Sundays are off days. Sri Lanka’s south coast is a big playground — surfing just down the road, massage on site, hidden beaches, snorkelling, and more cafes than you’ll have time to try. We encourage you to get out and experience it.

How do I get to Lanka Yoga?

Most international flights land at Colombo Bandaranaike Airport (CMB). From there, Lanka Yoga is about two hours south by car — we can help arrange a transfer. The nearest town is Habaraduwa, a short tuk-tuk ride away, and the historic city of Galle is about 20 minutes along the coast. For more details on visas, transport, and what to pack, check our FAQ page.
