Students practicing in the open-air shala at Lanka Yoga, Sri Lanka
4 to 25 July 2027 · Koggala Lake, Sri Lanka

200 hour yoga teacher training in Sri Lanka.

Asana Sadhana Dharma is a fully immersive Hatha Yoga teacher training. Three weeks to deepen your practice, develop self-awareness and share the traditional teachings of yoga with clarity, care and purpose.

Is this you?

You've felt the pull to go deeper.

  • "I want to fully commit to my practice and see how far it can take me."
  • "I'm ready for a complete reset, a chance to focus on yoga without life getting in the way."
  • "I know I'm capable of more. I just need the right space and teachers to guide me."

This isn't just a course for people who want to teach, although many do. It's for students ready to step out of their routine, live and breathe yoga for three weeks, and come home with a stronger practice, deeper self-awareness and the tools to share yoga with clarity.

I finally did my 200 hour YTT training and it has been a life changing experience. Aaron and Paige are the most supportive, kind, knowledgeable and fun teachers. I could not recommend Om Som any more!!!
