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.

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.

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..
Thank you so much

I joined Ancestral Academy for their November 200hr YTT. I went into this experience excited to learn how to teach yoga, and I left with SO much more than I could have even imagined. Upon arriving, I felt so welcomed with open arms, positivity, and a really safe and comfortable environment. The teachers themselves are so passionate about what they’re teaching and sharing, and it really shows. They not only share so much wisdom and knowledge about yoga itself, but they share themselves with us, allowing a really open and personal experience to bond the group in many ways.
Thank you so much

An intense while authentic and amazing experience.
I just finished my yoga teacher training with the Ancestral Academy and it’s hard to find the right words to describe it. I have learned so much about yoga, not only the asanas, but the yogi “lifestyle” with mantras, philosophy, breath work, meditation and so much more.
Carolina, Irem, Marco and Jorge are so supportive and share their love for yoga with such passion. They are inspiring.
Thank you for everything !

I recommend Ancestral Academy from my heart. Forever grateful for the very special and transformative 200h Yoga teacher training 🙏🏼. All my expectations were exceeded; the training covered not only hatha and vinyasa but also kundalini with multiple breathing techniques that transformed my perception and brought me to the inner journey of becoming a conscious teacher. Thank you Carolina, Marco, Jorge and Irem for thinking of every detail of the training so carefully. Our food was delicious plant based from the nature, the days included practicing yoga, philosophy, asana labs and deep evening practices, such as overcoming your fears..

Full of details and love.
The multistyle training gives a great overview and insight into Hatha, Kundalini and Vinyasa. Besides Philosophy, History and Anatomy, we were also taught different Pranayamas and Kryas. Together we formed a wonderful experience, we sang together, had a cacao and ayuhasca ceremony and spent some evenings around the fire.
I was very moved and touched by the dedication and to see and learn about the personality of each teacher and their insight into the different practices.
I have full confidence and trust in the expertise of the teachers.
