I feel so lucky to have chosen Ancestral academy to complete my 200hr YTT. I can’t say enough good things about this program. Each instructor brought such a unique and vast array of knowledge and the way they organized the community of women I got to learn with and from couldn’t have been more perfect. I learned so much about vulnerability, community, service, gratitude and of course yoga and what it really means to practice yoga in every moment. Absolutely amazing program and so beyond grateful for this life changing experience.

Jenessa

March Training 2024

I had the privilege of teaching anatomy at a 200-hour yoga teacher training hosted by the Ancestral Academy at Quinta Alma Retreat Center in Aljezur, Portugal. This training, led by Caro and Marco, had a depth and uniqueness that set it apart from the programs I typically lead, which are rooted in power vinyasa yoga. The retreat not only broadened my teaching but also gave me a deeper understanding of yoga in ways I didn’t expect.

September Training 2024

I attended an Ancestral Retreat in April 2024 in Colombia. So much love and attention went into this retreat. Jorge, Marco & Carolina selected the most perfect venue. They created the most perfect programme and hired a wonderful team of specialists in their respective fields. They are a fabulous trio, who I trust and respect. Thank you for holding space for us, for letting us feel, connect and grow. I highly recommend this business & would love attend future events!

April Retreat 2024

Extremely well organized yoga teacher training. The four teachers also complement each other excellently and create a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. The training is almost meticulously coordinated from A to Z and you have the perfect conditions to get closer to becoming a yoga teacher. The different styles also bring variety but also challenges that you can look back on with a lot of pride after the month you have completed.
Anyone who doesn’t do their YTT with the Ancestral team is not only missing out on educational training, but also the chance to be part of a wonderful family.

November Training 2023

There were so many things about this retreat that made it one of the best vacations that I have been able to experience. The instructors made us feel at home right away. They were each so friendly and genuine and incredibly knowledgeable. I can’t believe how much I learned on this retreat and I have been practicing yoga for a long time.

Sara

December Retreat 2022

This retreat was everything I needed and more ! I am so grateful to have been able to take this time for myself. Carolina, Marcos, and Jorge are amazing facilitators who genuinely care about each participant. The love I felt was unbelievable. The Taita and his wife Ana are both so powerful. The taita was full of unconditional love and wisdom creating a safe environment for all of us and Ana is a powerful Devine feminine force of love and light. I would choose this retreat over every other retreat I have attended.

Catherine

September Retreat 2023

This is my second retreat for ayahuasca so I thought I knew what to expect but I have to say that they blew through my expectations. The ancestral retreats team created a retreat that was both challenging and comfortable throughout . A retreat that was created with the utmost care and thoughtfulness. The ayahuasca ceremonies were two of the most illuminating moments of my life.

Natalia

December Retreat 2022

In the week since I’ve been back from the Ancestral Retreats yoga and plant medicine retreat, I’ve felt more confident, peaceful, it’s been easier to connect with others; I’ve felt more human. The retreat leaders have created an amazing program that allows you to build community with people in a short amount of time, to feel safe and supported, to open your heart to be vulnerable and strong

January Retreat 2023

 

They truly care about their participants, and their intentions. Their combined knowledge of yoga is amazing and each brings something different to the table which I loved. As for the ceremonies , the experiences I had cannot be described with mere words. Life changing for this 52 yr old female. Exactly what my soul needed at exactly the right time. I highly recommend this retreat.

Laura

July Retreat 2023

I wholeheartedly recommend the 200RYT yoga retreat by Ancestral Academy — An absolutely amazing experience that touched every aspect of my being. From the physical body to the mind and, most importantly, the spirit, this retreat left an indelible mark that continues to resonate within me. Reflecting on my time at the retreat, I am filled with profound gratitude for the enriching experiences and the deep connections forged with fellow participants and teachers.
