Picture this...
Wake up in a beautiful villa in Sri Lanka, surrounded by nature and the peaceful energy of the nearby ocean. Mornings begin with breathwork, meditation, dynamic yoga and dedicated inversion practice with Jess, before gathering for a nourishing breakfast to fuel the day ahead.
Afternoons are spent immersed in the deeper layers of yoga through advanced workshops, philosophical inquiry, intelligent asana practice and the art of teaching. As the sun begins to set, you’ll refine your teaching through practice sessions and explore the next evolution of your personal and professional journey.
Evenings are spent sharing delicious dinners and deepening connections with your fellow trainees as your YTT family grows. Each week closes with Satya and kirtan, a sacred bonding experience to honour the journey you’ve shared together.
During your free time, relax by the pool, head to the nearby beach for a swim, explore vibrant streets and cafes, or slow down with journalling and study. This is a space designed for deeper understanding, personal transformation and a more profound connection to the practice of yoga.

FOR YOUR 300h YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
Here's what our past students have to say...
"Doing this training is the best gift I’ve ever given myself"
“The 200h YTT with Becoming Retreats was nothing short of a life changing experience. It exceeded by far what I had imagined ! Doing this training is the best gift I’ve ever given myself. It was perfect experience from start to finish! You can really tell Jess poured her heart & soul into this training! It did not disappoint. Not only were the Asana classes amazing, the teaching on point, the lectures interesting and interactive but the people were absolute gems.
The teachers, Jess and Anesu are some of the most heart-centered and inspiring individuals I’ve ever met. They made this journey unforgettable. I can not recommend this training enough!"
MAUREEN
200h YTT BALI
"transformational once-in-a-lifetime experience"
"The training was a transformational once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will treasure forever. From start to finish, the training was immaculately planned and executed - great communication, stunning accommodation, fantastic food and most importantly a training schedule that was thoughtfully created to prepare us with all the experience, tools and knowledge to succeed as teachers.
Jess’ training has a strong focus on accessibility, safety and authenticity. I would highly encourage anyone thinking of joining a Becoming retreat or training to do so."
Lotte
200h YTT bali
"Profoundly transformative"
"I wholeheartedly endorse embarking on a YTT with Jess. Jess' teachings, guidance, and mentorship played a profoundly transformative role in my YTT 300 hour journey. Not only does she possess exceptional knowledge and skills as a teacher of teachers, but her genuine care and compassion create a soothing and uplifting atmosphere.
Jess effectively conveys her expertise in breathwork, anatomy, cuing, alignment, and the art of teaching, guiding you through experiential learning while also providing valuable knowledge to pass on to your own students. To top it off, her yoga classes and paired playlists are the absolute best!"
Eleanor
300H YTT NICARAGUA
"Intentional, transformative, and deeply nurturing."
The curriculum was thoughtfully structured, blending traditional teachings with modern insights in a way that made everything feel relevant and alive. There were plenty of opportunities to practice teaching, which meant that by the end, we all felt genuinely confident to step into a class and lead.
The attention to detail was exceptional. Every day was perfectly planned yet flexible enough to meet the group’s needs and energy levels. The entire experience felt intentional, transformative, and deeply nurturing.
I came away not only with the skills to teach but with a renewed sense of purpose and connection to yoga. I couldn’t recommend this YTT enough.”
WERONIKA
200h YTT BALI
"If I could give more than 5-stars I would! "
"I've just returned from my 6th Becoming Retreats experience - this time Jess' 200hr Yoga Teaching Training! I had the most transformational time thanks to Jess' careful planning, preparation, and exquisite execution of what was an incredible 3 weeks.
The daily asana practices were incredible then the lectures that followed were really captivating. I learnt so much in a short space of time! The detail round the edges - like the welcome ceremony, our Kirtan experience, our Mala making workshop and the beauty in the graduation ceremony was the icing on the cake."
Emma
200h YTT bali
"You wont regret it!"
"I had the privilege of learning from Jess at my most recent 300hr YTT. I was very pleased with what Jess brought to the YTT. Having a solid foundation already, her knowledge of asana, anatomy & breath helped deepen my understanding of them all, and connect to myself more.
Our morning flows were unique, dynamic, accessible & fun. No matter how exhausted we were, no one wanted to miss her class. Jess always brought good energy to the space and made the entire class feel safe. If you have the means to join Jess for a ytt, retreat or class, I recommend you do so. You won’t regret it!"
NICK

"creative flows, challenging transitions & skilful cueing"
Mackenzie -
france InVERSIONS INTENSIVE
"As a yoga teacher myself, Jess inspired me with her creative flows, challenging transitions, and skilful cueing to advance my asana and inversion practice. With Jess, you will be guided every step of the way, regardless of your background or experience-level (a mark of a remarkably skilled teacher!).
Words cannot capture the glorious way I feel after attending one of Jess’s Yoga retreats. I sincerely recommend all of Jess’s offerings to Yogis from beginner - advanced."
