the yoga program
Our yoga program is based on the principles of yoga synergy.
Yoga synergy is a vinyasa practice that blends traditional yoga with a modern understanding of human physiology and physiotherapy. Inspired by the often-overlooked yoga of china and japan, this approach emphasises safe and healing movement, resembling flowing practices seen in qi gong. For more information about the yoga style and our instructors, refer to our information pack.

The all-vegan food is prepared by our amazing kitchen team. Much of the spices and veggies come from lanka yoga’s garden, and we serve a delicious chef-designed menu that utilises as many local and home-grown ingredients as possible.
