about the course

We (Aaron & Paige) know how powerful it is to step away from the demands of daily life and immerse yourself fully in the practice of Yoga.

Maybe you’ve felt the pull to explore Yoga beyond the surface—to understand its philosophy, energetics and deeper purpose. Maybe you’re ready to dedicate yourself completely, if only for a few weeks, to see what’s possible when you commit.

That’s exactly why we created Asana Sadhana Dharma—a 200 Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training held in an environment designed for transformation.

This isn’t just a course for those who want to teach (although many do). It’s for students who are ready to step out of their everyday routine, live and breathe Yoga for three weeks, and come home with a stronger practice, deeper self-awareness and the tools to share Yoga with clarity and purpose.

Over 21 days, you’ll explore the traditional techniques of Hatha Yoga—asana, pranayama, mantra, mudra, meditation and kriya—alongside study in Yoga philosophy, subtle anatomy and self-inquiry. You’ll learn to build a personalised practice, sequence and share Yoga safely with others, and live in alignment with your unique dharma.

Our commitment is to hold you in a supportive, immersive container where you can focus fully on your growth—mentally, physically, energetically and spiritually.

This training isn’t about adding more to your life.

It’s about transforming how you live it.

who is our hatha yoga training for?

  • Dedicated Yoga Practitioner: You’ve been practicing for years—and Yoga is already woven into your life. But you’re ready for more. You want to step beyond the surface, understand why the practices work, and explore the philosophy that gives them meaning. You’re not here to dip your toes in. You’re here to commit fully, to live and breathe Yoga for three weeks, and to come home with a practice that supports your body, mind, energy and purpose.
  • Aspiring Yoga Teacher: You’ve felt the call to share the practice that’s transformed your life—but you’ve been waiting for a training that feels right. One that’s rooted in tradition, taught by teachers who embody their practice, and held in a space designed for immersion. This training gives you the tools, confidence and clarity to guide others safely and authentically—while staying connected to your own inner practice.
  • Established Yoga Teacher: You’ve completed a 200hr YTT but know there’s more to learn. You’re ready to reconnect with the heart of Yoga—to explore the traditional teachings of Hatha Yoga, deepen your understanding of energetics and subtle anatomy, and refine your ability to hold space for others. This training offers a powerful reset and a chance to step into your next level of teaching and personal practice.

hear from past students

The course was truly transformational. My biggest takeaway was how I can make Yoga personal, how I can integrate the teachings into my life to make life a more richer, meaningful experience. That’s what is special about the course, everything you learn if fascinating yes, but also completely relevant and adaptable for your own life.

This course exceeded my expectations. I didn’t expect to experience to the depths we did. Everything that was taught, was also felt. I also did not think I would learn and retain so much, but I think because it is so meaningful and we experience it, it makes an everlasting imprint on your brain. I see myself changing my routines. Including neti and tongue scraping, and meal times and all. I also see myself taking more time for meditation, mudra and pranayama, as before I would have just opted for asana. But also just the way I perceive things seeing everything with a bit more love and awe, but without attachment of course.

I would 100% recommend this course to people who are intrigued by yoga and have been practicing for a little while. Perhaps better to have atleast a little experience or background knowledge in Yoga. But for anyone really, looking to even just find more meaning in life.

FAQs

Do I need experience to join the 200-hour Hatha yoga teacher training?

We recommend at least 6 months of regular yoga practice — ideally 2–3 times a week. That said, this training is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you’re a committed practitioner ready to go deeper or someone who’s newer but serious about learning, the structure supports both. The key thing is a genuine willingness to commit fully for three weeks. You can download our info pack for a full breakdown of what to expect.
 

Is this yoga teacher training Yoga Alliance certified?

Yes. Om Som and Lanka Yoga are both Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Schools (RYS), and this course is a fully certified 200-hour program. On graduation you’ll receive your RYT-200 certificate, which allows you to teach and register as a yoga teacher anywhere in the world. This applies equally whether you choose our Hatha training or our Synergy Vinyasa training — both carry the same internationally recognised certification.

 

What if I have dietary requirements?

All meals at Lanka Yoga are vegan, so plant-based and vegetarian diets are covered by default. We also offer a gluten-free option at every meal. If you have any other dietary needs — allergies, intolerances, or preferences — just let our kitchen team know and they’ll adapt the menu for you. Food is a big part of the experience here, and we take it seriously.

 

What's the difference between Hatha and Vinyasa yoga teacher training?

Hatha yoga focuses on holding postures, breathwork (pranayama), and meditation — it’s slower, more internal, and rooted in traditional practice. Vinyasa is more movement-based, linking poses in flowing sequences with an emphasis on functional anatomy and modern movement science. At Lanka Yoga we offer both: this Hatha YTT with Aaron and Paige, and a Synergy Vinyasa YTT with Stefan Camilleri. Neither is better — they suit different practitioners and different teaching styles.

 

Can I teach yoga after completing a 200-hour training?

Yes — a 200-hour certification is the standard entry point to teach yoga professionally. Once you graduate and register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT-200, you can teach group classes, private sessions, workshops, and retreats anywhere in the world. Many of our graduates start teaching within weeks of returning home. If you later want to deepen your qualifications, Lanka Yoga also offers advanced trainings and intensives throughout the year.

 

Why do a yoga teacher training in Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka is still relatively undiscovered as a training destination compared to Bali or India, which means fewer crowds, better value, and an environment that hasn’t been heavily commercialised around yoga tourism. The south coast is genuinely beautiful — warm water, great food, friendly people, and easy to get around. It’s also straightforward to reach from Europe and Australia, and visas are simple. Your training takes place at Lanka Yoga on Koggala Lake — a purpose-built yoga school away from the busy tourist strip, designed specifically for immersive learning.

 

What's included in the price?

Everything you need for the three weeks is covered: 21 nights of accommodation, three home-cooked vegan meals daily, all training sessions and materials, a printed training manual, a handmade Japa Mala, and full use of Lanka Yoga’s facilities including the infinity pool and library. You also get lifetime access to a private online mentoring group after graduation. The only things not included are flights, travel insurance, and any personal excursions on your days off. Prices start at €3,200 depending on your room choice.

 

How do I get to Lanka Yoga?

Most international flights land at Colombo Bandaranaike Airport (CMB). From there, Lanka Yoga is about 2.5 hours south by car — we can help arrange a transfer. The nearest town is Habaraduwa, a short tuk-tuk ride away, and the historic fort city of Galle is about 20 minutes along the coast. For more details on getting here, local transport, and what to pack, check our FAQ page.
