Yoga Teacher Training

March 3rd - March 24th, 2027 • Hikkadua, Sri Lanka

Yoga Alliance Certified

This 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training is an immersive and integrative program for dedicated practitioners ready to deepen their relationship with yoga and step onto the path of teaching. Rooted in Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, the training weaves together embodied practice, philosophical inquiry, and practical teaching skills.

Designed for students who wish to explore yoga beyond the physical postures, this program offers a grounded and holistic approach to the yogic lifestyle, honoring tradition while supporting authentic, modern teaching.

  • • Yoga Alliance Accreditation

  • • A foundational introduction to Ayurveda

  • • Guided meditation session with local monks

  • • Sound healing session

  • Martina

    Martina is a specialized ER nurse with over ten years of emergency care experience and several years teaching basic life support and trauma. She directs an international trauma course for nurses in Switzerland and has led training programs for adults and pediatric staff for many years. Those roles have strengthened her teaching, communication, and organizational skills.

    She has completed over 700 hours of yoga teacher training and worked in different countries, which helps her offer calm, clear, and adaptable classes. This foundation guided her toward holistic practices, where she now shines as a yoga teacher and breathwork facilitator. Her path into holistic living began through the integration of body, breath, and mindfulness, unfolding into the study of multiple yoga lineages, from the discipline of Ashtanga to the softness of Yin and the fluidity of Vinyasa, deepened by dedicated pranayama practice. Along the way, she found deep resonance in the transformative power of breath and somatic practices, which continue to shape both her teaching and her way of living.

    Passionate about sharing these gifts, Martina organizes numerous workshops and events around the world. In this YTT, you'll have the opportunity to explore diverse practices with her, always rooted in safety, anatomical precision, and embodied awareness. She combines her clinical background with her multiple yoga training to explain complex topics in simple language focusing on functional anatomy, injury prevention and a safe learning environment, so future yoga teachers can understand the body in a practical way and teach with more confidence and explore.
