FAQ – Yoga Teacher Training Sri Lanka
What's the difference between the 200-hour and 100-hour yoga teacher training?
The 200-hour is a full Yoga Alliance RYT-200 certification — three weeks covering anatomy, philosophy, teaching methodology, and daily practice teaching. It qualifies you to teach globally. The 100-hour is a two-week Vinyasa + Yin module — ideal if you want to specialise, already hold a 200hr qualification, or want an immersive training without the full three-week commitment. Both are residential at Lanka Yoga on Koggala Lake.
Is Lanka Yoga Yoga Alliance certified?
Yes. Our 200-hour trainings are registered with Yoga Alliance (RYT-200). The 100-hour Vinyasa + Yin training is Yoga Alliance International YACEP-approved, and the Teachers Intensive carries YACEP continuing education credits. Exact certification details are listed on each training page.
How long is a yoga teacher training in Sri Lanka?
Our 200-hour trainings run for three weeks. The 100-hour Vinyasa + Yin is two weeks, and the Teachers Intensive is seven nights. All are fully residential at Lanka Yoga on Koggala Lake.
How much does yoga teacher training cost in Sri Lanka?
At Lanka Yoga, 200-hour trainings start from €3,200 (shared room) up to €4,000 (private). The 100-hour training starts from €1,900, and the Teachers Intensive from €1,350. All prices include accommodation and meals. Full pricing is on each training page.
Can beginners join yoga teacher training in Sri Lanka?
Yes, though some prior experience helps. We recommend at least six months of regular practice before joining a 200-hour training — not because it’s required, but because you’ll get more out of it. 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. You’re close to beaches, surf, and Galle Fort, so there’s plenty to explore on days off.
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. The 100-hour includes printed and digital workbooks and 100hr YACEP credits. Full inclusions are on each training page.
What styles of yoga are taught during the training?
It depends on the training. We offer Synergy Vinyasa (200hr with Stefan Camilleri), Hatha Yoga (200hr with Aaron Petty), and Vinyasa + Yin (100hr with Jess Dezaux). The Teachers Intensive with Simon Borg-Olivier covers a movement-science approach to traditional yoga. Full curriculum details are on each training page.
