23-Day 200-Hour Luxury Yoga Teacher Training Retreat in Galle, Sri Lanka

Spend 23 days at Green Serene Villa in Galle, where the immersive 200-hour yoga teacher training unfolds at a steady, human pace. The program is carefully designed to avoid overloading, with time for practice, study, and rest. You'll delve into classical Hatha yoga, dynamic Vinyasa flow, and restorative Yin practices, while also exploring Tantra philosophy, breathwork, meditation, and the subtleties of the energetic body.

The curriculum is comprehensive: you'll study anatomy and physiology, alignment and the use of props, class sequencing, and hands-on adjustments. Teaching practicums start early, letting you lead classes and receive constructive feedback. Philosophy is woven throughout, drawing from the Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita, and you'll also get an introduction to Ayurveda and yogic lifestyle. Assessments and a certification ceremony mark your completion.

What sets this training apart is its balanced approach and exceptional instructors. Master Nirakar, the founder, brings over 18 years of practice and teaching, and is joined by a team including Amit (ERYT-500), Kanchan, Manisha, and Will, each offering their own expertise in anatomy, alignment, and teaching methods. Their guidance is personal and nurturing, whether you're aiming to teach or simply live yoga more deeply.

Weekends offer excursions to explore the local area, including historic Galle Fort and nearby beaches. Evenings are filled with kirtan, movie nights, and community connection. The villa itself provides a serene backdrop, with comfortable rooms, a garden, and easy access to the coast. The retreat is designed to leave you not with a certificate alone, but with lasting clarity, confidence, and a grounded approach to yoga in everyday life.
