No 200-Hour Yet? You Can Still Join
Most 300-hour courses ask for a 200-hour certificate first. Ours in Sri Lanka doesn’t. If you have an established personal practice, you can begin your teacher training at an advanced level this December and complete a 200-hour course afterwards.
Once you hold both certificates, your 500 hours count toward RYT 500 registration with Yoga Alliance. Already a 200-hour graduate? This batch completes your 500 hours.

The method behind the course.

Her rule is simple: awareness and breath come before flexibility. In Galle, her teaching team applies it to your sequencing, adjustments and observation every day.
