200-hour synergy vinyasa teacher training sri lanka
Transform your practice—and your life—in just three immersive weeks on the shores of Koggala Lake.

All of it unfolds at Sri Lanka’s only purpose-built, sustainably run yoga school—a sanctuary designed for growth, connection and coming home to yourself.

about our approach to yoga
our approach to yoga is simple: move with purpose, guided by science
We blend traditional asana with modern physiotherapy principles in the Yoga Synergy method—developed by physiotherapists for everyday bodies.
Each sequence follows modern physiotherapy principles, (think gentle spinal waves before deep backbends), every cue is clear and accessible, and every pose serves to protect joints and support long-term health.
The goal is a pain-free, sustainable practice you can share or keep for life, whether you’re young or old, brand-new or experienced.

Meet Stefan Camilleri — Australian teacher-trainer, movement nerd, founder of Lanka Yoga, and creator of this training.
For more than ten years he’s travelled the world with the evidence-based Yoga Synergy method, teaching everywhere from New York to Norway to Bali’s, and has certified 440 + teachers along the way.
Backed by 2,000 + hours of formal study in anatomy, physiotherapy-informed movement, and both modern and classical yoga approaches and philosophy—completed across Australia, 18 months in India, Bali and the USA—Stefan’s classes are famous for their “aha!” moments: always joint-safe, always purpose-driven.
Since 2021 he has channelled that experience into Lanka Yoga’s lake-front campus on Sri Lanka’s south coast, guiding small groups toward confident, pain-free teaching careers and nurturing a thriving global alumni community. Graduates praise his knack for making complex biomechanics click—and for giving them teaching cues they remember long after graduation.

FAQ’s
Are there any requirements for participating in the YTT?
Recommended 6 months continued (at least 2-3 times each week) yoga practice, a passion for yoga and a desire to study deeply. The program requires you to dedicate significant portions of time to your studies and you will frequently be in the studio for practice and lessons. It’s super important that you are preparing yourself ahead of time in order to get the most out of the course.
Is the course certified?
Yes it is! Our school and this course is registered with Yoga Alliance, the world’s biggest and most respected yoga organisation. This means that after graduation, you will be able to teach anywhere in the world as an RYT200.
What is there to do when I’m not in class?
Luckily the South Coast is a compact playground of fun activities. There’s surf down the road, massage on site, adventures to hidden beaches, snorkelling, and our vegan restaurant just two minutes walk down the road.
What does an average day at the YTT look like?
