Preserving Tradition
Sankalpa Yoga Institute was founded to teach yoga not just as exercise, but as a complete scientific system.
The Origin
It started with a simple observation: modern yoga was losing its soul. It was becoming purely gymnastic, stripping away the breathwork, meditation, and philosophy that make the practice truly transformative.
We established Sankalpa to bridge the gap. We went back to the source texts—the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Sutras—and designed a curriculum that respects tradition while acknowledging modern anatomy and biomechanics.
Why Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka is an island of healing. The climate, the food, and the culture are naturally aligned with the yogic lifestyle.
Our campus in Ahangama is surrounded by cinnamon plantations and paddy fields. It is a place where time slows down, allowing students to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with their inner silence.
Our Core Values
Scientific
We don't deal in mystique. We explain the 'why' and 'how' behind every technique, backed by modern physiology.
Inclusive
Yoga is for every body. We reject the idea that you need to be flexible or thin to practice. We teach accessibility.
Sustainable
Ahimsa (non-violence) extends to the planet. Our campus is plastic-free, solar-powered, and grows its own food.
