200-Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training on Koggala Lake, Sri Lanka

The training blends the Yoga Synergy method with traditional philosophy, breathwork, and the practical side of teaching. You'll cover asana, alignment, teaching methodology, applied anatomy, class design, injury prevention, yoga history, philosophy, meditation, pranayama, healthy living, the yoga business, and Sanskrit basics. The aim is to produce teachers who can lead a real class from day one, not just recite sequences.

Stefan has trained over 500 teachers since 2014, and graduates now run classes and studios across Europe, the UK, Australia, and beyond. He teaches with a direct, no-fluff style that focuses on what actually works in a modern studio. You'll get lifetime access to his 25-hour online course 'A New Yoga' before you arrive, so you start with a solid foundation.

The venue itself is built for training: a dedicated shala, an infinity pool over the lake, rooms partly dug into the ground for natural cooling, and a vegetable garden that feeds you throughout your stay. It's solar-powered and has its own water treatment plant. You'll be surrounded by jungle, fruit trees, and the occasional monitor lizard.
