Yoga Teacher Training
in Sri Lanka

Breakfast and dinner on training days are included: vegan and vegetarian, farm to plate from the Midigama Fruit Farm. Lunch is not included, so you are free to eat what suits your body, your preferences and your budget.

Accommodation is not included either, and that is a deliberate choice. Most residential trainings keep you inside the same compound for three weeks: same four walls, same canteen, same faces. We do it differently, on purpose. Your tuition is the training; where you sleep is yours to choose. Stay steps from the shala, or a short tuk-tuk from the best surf on the south coast, in a simple guesthouse or a private villa, at whatever budget suits you. You get real rest between intense days, real time in Sri Lanka, and the freedom to live the trip your way.

Prefer to stay on site? Senses sits on the Midigama Fruit Farm, which offers female-only 6-bed dorms, mixed 6-bed dorms and private rooms from €10 a night. The farm is an independent organisation, so to check availability and book, message them directly on WhatsApp at +94 70 600 2141.

We are offering you something we wish we had ourselves.

Have you asked yourself what happens after you graduate from a teacher training course? In many cases, when a course is over, students have to start looking for a place to teach, often wondering how to do it and where. It can be a daunting and confusing time.

Senses is one of Sri Lanka’s most established yoga schools and spiritual centres, offering more than 40 classes, workshops, ceremonies and activities a week. Becoming a teacher at Senses means you have a studio, teachers, friends and a community that supports you after your training.

After graduating, you will have access to an exclusive mentorship programme, participating in classes to support and assist the teachers until you are ready to be on your own. You will be part of our teacher community, spread all over the world, supportive and encouraging, with ongoing mentorship for life.

You will also have a discounted price for our other trainings, like sound healing or breathwork, to develop your skills further and grow your portfolio of offerings.

Sri Lanka has it all. With 1,340km of gorgeous coastline, crystal clear water and fine sandy beaches, lush tropical forests, mountain ranges, exotic wildlife and a rich food culture, there are very few places in the world that can beat the beauty of this country.

We are located in one of the most exclusive locations on the south coast: the Midigama Fruit Farm. A natural oasis, home to over 40 varieties of fruit tree and surrounded by nothing but nature.

There are no main roads or railway next to us, which makes our place incredibly quiet, without traffic noise or pollution. Imagine overlooking lush tropical greenery, walking barefoot on fresh grass, hearing nothing but the birds, preparing for a blissful morning meditation and an invigorating yoga practice to start the day. It is heaven.

Yet we are only 2km from the best beach of the south. A quick, fun tuk-tuk ride takes you to the bustling areas of Midigama, Weligama and Ahangama, where you will find plenty of beaches, bars, restaurants and cafes to spend your time off, or to give surfing a try.

Senses is a fully accredited school with Yoga Alliance, which allows us to certify you to teach anywhere in the world. On completion you receive a RYT 200hr certificate and can register with Yoga Alliance.

We wanted this to be much more than a certificate. We have carefully crafted the whole programme so it is an invaluable, evolutionary experience, and so you return to the world as the most energised and radiant version of yourself, ready to share the gift of yoga with everyone you meet. You will make friends for life, and gain all the tools to network and grow professionally.
