Ashtanga Lanka offers events in beautiful destinations including Sri Lanka, France and Morocco. Every location is unique and offers you a relaxing and restorative atmosphere. Beginners and experienced students are always welcome. If you join us you’ll have the chance to deepen your practice, recharge and nourish your soul and connect with yogis from around the world.
The gorgeous natural setting around each venue supports you to fully let go and rest on your yoga holiday.
We will resume hosting events in Sri Lanka in early 2027. In the meantime check out these offerings:
Since 2004 Ashtanga Lanka has been welcoming yoga students in Sri Lanka each winter. New and experienced students are both invited to join us and our shala fits 14 students so you’ll get plenty of personal attention.
Teachers live on-site, share meals with students and are available to connect both inside and outside the classroom. We aim to create a friendly atmosphere where you feel at home.
Morning Mysore is offered six days per week. Three afternoon workshops are also part of the schedule to help support your practice. The minimum stay is one week, but for beginners we highly recommend at least two weeks.
In addition to the yoga practice you’ll have plenty of time to rest, recharge and explore the beauty of Sri Lanka. We have many repeat students and we’re excited to share the magic and beauty of Sri Lanka with you.

A day at Ashtanga Lanka:
When you wake up you’ll hear song birds and the sound of waves. The beach is 100 meters away and you can easily go for a walk or swim before yoga.
Mysore class begins at 7:30 AM and before that we observe Noble silence in the house. It’s nice to have this quiet time in the morning and we invite you to not connect with the digital world before class.
After yoga we serve a delicious Sri Lankan buffet breakfast. It’s a colorful mix of fruit salad and traditional Sri Lankan items.
Two afternoons per week we teach a workshop to support your learning. Topics range from Asana & Alignment, the breath, the Vinyasa, Inversions, arm balances, Yoga philosophy and more.
The rest day is Sunday and that morning there is no brunch served.
Several times a week we also organize a homemade rice & curry dinner. These meals are billed separately.
