About the 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program
"Flexible yoga teachers are easy to find. A meditative, authentic one is much harder to find." That belief, from our founder Yogini Manisha (E-RYT 500), shapes every day of this 11-day residential 100-hour yoga teacher training in Sri Lanka. Whether or not you plan to teach, that depth is what you come here to build. The course is designed for dedicated practitioners who want to go further than a weekly class allows, and for anyone who wants to experience teacher training before committing to a full 200 hours.
Your course is led by the Diksha Yoga School teaching team, following the approach Yogini Manisha has developed over more than 16 years of teaching and guiding over 23,000 students from more than 80 countries. You train in a group of no more than 10, so your teachers get to know your practice and give you personal feedback. The school is registered with Yoga Alliance at both the 200-hour and 300-hour levels.
Each day you practise Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga foundations, Pranayama, Meditation, Yoga Philosophy, Anatomy, Alignment, and Teaching Methodology. The training goes beyond postures: you learn why each pose is aligned the way it is, how breath steadies the mind, and how yogic philosophy applies to life off the mat. Your teachers guide you individually throughout, so you improve your own practice instead of following a general class.
You leave with a 100-hour certificate from a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School, a stronger and more aware practice, and a clear sense of whether teaching is your next step. Your room and meals are included from €1,000, and you can reserve with a 30% deposit. Places are limited, so check the dates and secure yours.
More Than a Yoga Certificate
Eleven days is enough to change how you practise, if every day counts. At Diksha Yoga School, traditional yogic teaching, daily practice, and personal feedback come together, so you leave with real understanding and not only a certificate.

A Method Refined Over 16 Years
