why flowground is the perfect venue for teacher trainings

flowground was created with depth in mind—a place that holds space for growth, presence, and real connection. Nestled in the quiet of Sri Lanka’s south coast, surrounded by palm trees and rice paddies, it’s the kind of environment that invites students to slow down and truly drop in.

With two shalas—an open-air space immersed in nature, and a fully equipped indoor shala with wooden floors and AC—flowground offers the flexibility to meet the different needs of your training days. Whether it’s early morning asana, afternoon lectures, or breathwork and ceremony at sunset, there’s a space that holds it all.

The setup is intentionally designed to support teacher trainings:

The main venue, flowground home, hosts up to 12 students, creating an intimate and focused group energy.

The second venue, flowground studio, expands your capacity to 22 students in total

the seasons

Sri Lanka moves with the rhythm of two seasons.
From November to April, it’s high season—sunny skies, perfect beach days, and buzzing surf spots.

May to October is our slower season. Things quiet down, the island breathes deeper. You might get a few tropical showers, but the charm is still very real—lush landscapes, peaceful beaches, and a slower pace.

Yoga Teacher trainings during the slow season benefit from special rental rates.
It’s our way of making space for deep work, without the high-season hustle.

(*And yes, with climate change, nature sometimes dances to a different beat—so always come with an open mind and heart.)

the location

Just three minutes inland from Ahangama—a colourful little surf town full of friendly faces and great coffee—flowground sits quietly between rice paddies and palm trees.

It’s close to everything you might want: waves, wild beaches, fishermen on stilts, sunset spots, and slow afternoon wanders through Galle’s ancient fort. On days off, you can head south to Hiriketiya’s beachy buzz or inland for safari moments in Yala. But mostly, this place invites you to stay still. To settle.

We’re about 2.5 hours from Colombo airport, so arriving is simple—and the transition from travel to retreat is smooth.

It’s not just the location. It’s how the space feels when you land. Like you’ve exhaled before you even unpack.

our yoga shalas

Both of our shalas—open-air and indoor—are fully equipped for teacher trainings. We’ve got yoga mats, bolsters, blocks, straps, blankets, Mysore rugs (only available for sale), elastic bands, tennis balls, and some instruments for ceremony or sound play

For your teacher training workshops and lectures, we also provide a blackboard, flipchart, and beamer.

And to set the mood? Incense, candles, and cozy touches are always on hand.

Just bring your teachings—your space is ready.

the food

At flowground, we know that good food is essential for a fulfilling retreat or training experience. That’s why our chefs put love and care into every meal, ensuring it not only tastes delicious but also nourishes your body and supports your yoga practice.
