FAQs about the Yoga Teacher Training in Sri Lanka
What does the 200-hour yoga teacher training cover?
Our 200-hour trainings are full Yoga Alliance RYT-200 certifications — three weeks covering anatomy and physiology, philosophy, teaching methodology, and daily practice, qualifying you to teach globally.
Is the Yoga Teacher Training at Lanka Yoga Alliance certified?
Yes. Our 200-hour trainings are registered with Yoga Alliance (RYT-200), and the Teachers Intensive carries YACEP continuing education credits. Accreditation for the upcoming Yin training will be confirmed when the program is announced.
How long is a yoga teacher training in Sri Lanka?
Our 200-hour trainings run for three weeks and the Teachers Intensive is seven nights — all fully residential at Lanka Yoga on Koggala Lake. The format for the upcoming Yin training will be confirmed when it's announced.
How much does yoga teacher training cost in Sri Lanka?
200-hour trainings start from €3,200 (shared room) up to €4,000 (private), and the Teachers Intensive from €1,350. All prices include accommodation and meals. Pricing for the upcoming Yin training will be shared when it's announced.
Can beginners join the yoga teacher training?
Yes, though some prior experience helps. We recommend at least six months of regular practice before joining a 200-hour training. Many students come primarily to deepen their own practice rather than to teach, and that's completely fine.
Where in Sri Lanka is Lanka Yoga located?
On Koggala Lake near Galle, on Sri Lanka's south coast — about two hours from Colombo International Airport. Close to beaches, surf, and Galle Fort.
What is included in the yoga teacher training?
All trainings include tuition, accommodation, and three plant-based meals a day. 200-hour programs also include course materials, a printed training manual, Yoga Alliance RYT-200 certification, and lifetime access to our online foundations course.
