A Soul-Awakening Journey Like No Other

Our 200-hour yoga teacher training is more than a study of asana. It is an immersive journey designed to bring you into deeper alignment with your body, your voice, and your inner path. We see yoga not only as a physical discipline, but as a practice of remembrance, expansion, and transformation.

At Ancestral, students experience a rare union of Himalayan yogic wisdom and South American ancestral traditions. Through asana, philosophy, pranayama, kriya, mantra, meditation, ritual, music, and community, our trainings offer a more integrated and embodied path of learning. The result is not only personal growth, but a deeper capacity to teach, lead, and live from a place of depth.

Why Yoga in Colombia?

Colombia is an extraordinary place for deep personal transformation. Known for its vibrant energy, untouched natural beauty, and rich cultural traditions, it offers the perfect environment to reconnect with yourself. Unlike overcrowded retreat destinations, we carefully select peaceful, authentic locations far from tourist-heavy areas, where you can immerse yourself fully in nature. 

Safety is Our Priority. We understand that safety is essential when traveling abroad. That’s why we handle everything for you—from airport pickups to ensuring you remain in carefully chosen, secure environments throughout your stay. Our team is here to support you every step of the way, so you can focus entirely on your growth, healing, and learning.

What our students say

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.

Ancestral Academy’s yoga teacher training hosted at Brees in Santa Veronica was a phenomenal experience! Professionally, thoughtfully, kindly, and holistically curated from beginning to end (and beyond), Carolina and Marco are wonderful leaders in the yoga teacher training space. If you are someone who will show up for yourself and for those around you, I wholeheartedly recommend Ancestral Academy.

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.

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.
