at Emberleaf Sri Lanka · Midigama
Building full arcs across a class or multi-week series, beyond the pose-by-pose focus of a 200-hour program.
Conscious connected breathing and pranayama techniques specifically framed for integration into a yoga class, taught by Emberleaf's resident breathwork facilitator.
Using bowls, gong and handpan within a yoga class rather than as a standalone modality — savasana work, opening tones, closing integration.
Deeper functional anatomy than a 200-hour program covers, with a focus on adjusting for common long-term student injuries.
Supervised teaching of full classes to real drop-in students at Emberleaf, with direct feedback from both lead facilitators.
A final-week project in an area you choose — a themed workshop series, a specific population (prenatal, seniors, athletes), or a deeper breathwork or sound specialty — mentored one-on-one.
Emberleaf's on-site shared accommodation, the same rooms used for its retreats, a short walk from the shala and sound healing room.
Home-style vegetarian meals eaten together, timed around the daily schedule.
Graduates receive an in-house 300-hour advanced completion certificate from Emberleaf. Combined with a prior 200-hour certificate, this is commonly enough to register as a 500-hour teacher with Yoga Alliance, but Emberleaf itself is not currently a Yoga Alliance-affiliated school — confirm current registration requirements before enrolling if that combination matters to you.
A jungle-set space in Midigama that has become a reference point for breathwork and sound healing on Sri Lanka's south coast. Emberleaf builds its programs around small groups and strong facilitation rather than volume, which is part of why practitioners travel here specifically for this work rather than as a side activity during a broader trip. Yoga runs alongside the breathwork and sound offering, sharing the same intentional, unhurried pace.
