Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Sri Lanka: Coming to KSL This November

For anyone looking to take their yoga practice or teaching further, there is now another reason to come to Kalpitiya.

Together with Yin Yoga Therapy® and the Body-Mind-Soul Centre, Kitesurfing Lanka is hosting a series of Yin Yoga Teacher Trainings in Sri Lanka in 2026 and 2027.

From 100-hour Yin Yoga immersions to foundational 200-hour teacher trainings – and, in 2027, programmes combining Yin Yoga and Breathwork – the trainings bring two or three weeks of focused practice and study to our open-air shala by the Indian Ocean.

A deeper look at Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga works with longer-held poses and a slower pace, with attention given to stillness, individual anatomy and the body’s connective tissues.

The Yin Yoga Therapy® approach combines this practice with Daoist philosophy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians and chi flow. During the training, students also explore anatomy, mindfulness, sequencing and teaching practice.

Rather than simply learning a set of poses, the training looks at Yin Yoga from different perspectives – from what is happening in the body during a pose to how a sequence is created, adapted and eventually taught.

100 or 200 hours: which training is right for you?

The 100-hour programmes offer a two-week immersion and are particularly relevant for those who already have yoga training or teaching experience, as well as practitioners who want to deepen their understanding without completing a full 200-hour foundational training.

The 200-hour programmes run over three weeks at KSL and include additional self-paced online study. They cover the broader foundations required for a Yoga Alliance teacher training alongside the specialised focus of the respective programme.

The exact content differs between training dates. Our November–December 2026 programmes focus on Yin Yoga Therapy®, while the March–April 2027 programmes combine Yin Yoga Therapy® and Breathwork.

Two or three weeks of training – and living – at KSL

A Yoga Teacher Training is not only about the hours spent in class. For two or three weeks, the practice becomes part of the rhythm of everyday life.

At KSL, the training takes place in our open-air yoga shala overlooking the beach and the Indian Ocean. Participants stay here at the camp, so there is no daily commute between accommodation and training. Practice, study, meals and time off all happen within the same small corner of Kalpitiya.

Between training sessions, there is space to slow things down: walk to the beach, find a quiet spot in the garden, spend time with the people you are training with or simply do very little for a while.

And while yoga is at the centre of these weeks, life at KSL continues around it. Our regular classes, the camp, the beach and everyday life in Kalpitiya remain part of the experience.

For anyone looking for a Yoga Teacher Training in Sri Lanka that combines focused study with a few weeks of actually living alongside the practice, this is exactly what our setting makes possible.
