Lanka Yoga is an eco-friendly retreat venue that specialises in hosting yoga teacher trainings and retreats. Lanka Yoga is sparse, on almost an acre of land fronting Koggala lake in the village of Duwa, South Sri Lanka. Our venue is a unique combination of convenience and nature. We are the only purpose build yoga training centre on the island, with everything you need here and ready for you. Our generously spaced venue has open plan living, nooks and crannies, yoga spaces, gardens, tree cover, and more.
The team at Lanka Yoga have been dreaming up this place since 2018. After a few false starts, we finally pulled it off. We’re really happy to share our love of yoga, some garden vegetables, this beautiful space, and introduce our beautiful dogs.
We make a considerable effort to have zero negative impact on the environment and give back more than we take. We hope to see you here soon!

Dance Technique Flow in various styles / Dance Choreography / Freestyle Workshop
It is not by chance that Hip-Hop dance is now considered the leading dance style worldwide, performed by top artists and used in movies, television, and many other entertainment outlets, as well as on social media, where artists showcase their talent and amateurs have fun exploring this style.
Hip-Hop is a dance form that contains many dance styles within it and is founded by rich culture. But simply put, like anything beautiful and meaningful - it was also created by just normal people, who connected to music and expressed how it made them feel. So it welcomes ALL!
Its first and most important value, Originality, and the emphasis on personal authentic expression allow much freedom for you to be you. In Hip-Hop we have a lot of room to be ourselves, to discover how we feel-connect-express, to find our own unique dance while being supported by foundations and celebrated by others for our individuality!
No mistakes, just discoveries, which is how many of the Hip-Hop dance styles were even created and is why it has captured the heart of the world. It is also why anyone, including YOU, can do it!
Being that our co-founder and lead instructor, El, has over 30 years of professional training in all leading dance styles, as well as many years of living and exploring Hip-Hop dance and culture first-hand both personally and professionally in the US, having worked in Hollywood’s entertainment industry and along with a wellness mindset, the dance taught in this retreat is a uniquely crafted dance based on El’s experience and knowledge and curated for you to connect to yourself and find YOUR dance.
With bumpin’ energizing music, interesting flows of versatile dance techniques, beautiful surroundings, and a safe judgment-free environment - you will gain the confidence and skills to express yourself while having lots of fun doing so!
Benefits:-
Promoting a detox both mentally and physically the retreat center chef will be utilizing as many local and homegrown ingredients as preparing a delicious vegan menu.
With the past cultural remanence, we believe you should eat the food of where you are but a twist of fusion so it's more familiar.
Having the kitchen designed as an open plan in the villa, the cooks can be seen as they prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A hybrid between the local and commercial kitchen. Meaning cooking, baking, or preparing almost anything would result in having the home cooked taste.
Growing their own food
With the inheritance of more than ten fruit trees, including jackfruit, mango, coconut, donka, rambutan, curry leaf, and more which are used throughout the year. To expand on this, the team has planted many more of guests' favorites trees such as Papaya and Mangosteen. As mentioned they have a broad veggie and spice garden which feeds everyone in the venue throughout the year.
