Join this personal journey to deepen your practice, explore the beauty of yoga, and share classes as a teacher in the modern world. In this course, you will learn an alignment-based practice used in both Vinyasa Flow classes and Restorative Yoga classes. At Flying Tree, they believe strongly in the power of community, and you will be supported by a family of like-minded individuals who are here to explore this beautiful and deep practice together. The experienced and passionate instructors are here to guide you along the way.
Flying Tree Yoga is located in a leafy suburb of the beautiful, safe, and dynamic city of Medellin. With many cafés, restaurants, and tourist spots all within walking distance, it's a great place to experience Latin American culture while you train!
There are plenty of supermarkets and health food stores nearby that will cater to any diet. Getting around is easy, with cheap taxis and a great public transportation network, including a state-of-the-art metro and cable car system.
The studio has its accommodation on site so you can live and train in the same space. In the front of the property are the reception and practice spaces. In the back, there is a recreational area with sofas and a small library of yoga books.
Surrounding this are the 5 bedrooms, hosting up to 9 people. Each room has two double beds, and you will share the space with one other person of the same gender.
There are shared bathroom facilities and a kitchen as well as a patio with laundry facilities.
In this course you will work towards connecting with and understanding our nature as sat-chit-ananda: existence, awareness, and bliss. You will undertake a journey through the layers of your being, starting with the outermost physical body and moving to the most subtle part of yourself, connected with the divine.
The program is modeled on the koshas, or layers of your being, which will provide a structure and direction for your path, and help you explore a full range of yogic techniques to understand your identity. Incorporated into this journey is an exploration of what it means to be a Yoga teacher, what empassions and inspires you, and how you can better offer your knowledge and unique skills to others.
The course is divided into two essential parts.
You will join a month-long intensive at the Flying Tree Yoga studio in Medellín, where you will immerse yourself in your practice, learn new techniques, and refine your understanding of familiar concepts. This experience will culminate in a mini-retreat in the beautiful Colombian mountains, designed and run by the trainees.
The course will continue with 3 months of ongoing support, meetings, and workshops online, which will provide an opportunity for you to fully explore and integrate these diverse practices into your teaching and daily life. Once you have completed the program you will have a fuller understanding of the path of Yoga, a fresh vision as a teacher, and a rich variety of new skills to share with your community.
This online support will be conducted via Zoom between July to September every Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 6 - 8 p.m. Colombia time (GMT-5), plus some select Saturdays to be confirmed. Please note that if you can’t attend one or more of the online meetings, recordings will be available for you to watch in your own time.
At Flying Tree, they offer a fun, dynamic, and creative course, with an emphasis on empowering you to plan and deliver your classes to the public. They teach an alignment-based yoga that is suitable both for Vinyasa flows and for Restorative classes. From week one, they emphasize practical experience - that means practicing your teaching skills as a teacher on the Flying Tree team! You will be closely supported in small groups and carefully guided through your month's journey.
The course is designed to give you a thorough introduction to the traditional basis of yoga - its philosophy and rich history to examine where your yoga practice is taking you, and at the same time, to help you refine your teaching skills
The koshas are an ancient system that can help you understand your nature, from the physical to the energetic, mental, intellectual, and divine. In your course, you will journey through these layers and explore your essence.
The course has been carefully crafted by talented professionals who have over 15 years of experience working in education. They are here to provide expert knowledge and guide you in your journey.
You begin most days with a half-hour meditation class, specializing in breath, body scan, and loving-kindness meditations. This is followed by the morning asana practice and a short break for breakfast. They have specialized workshops throughout the day, focusing on everything from philosophy and anatomy to class sequencing, posture clinics, and the chakras. In the evening, there are optional asana practices in both English and Spanish (for those who would like to try a second language!)
Andrew is the owner of Flying Tree, and a teacher trainer specializing in an alignment-based yoga flow. He believes in empowering individuals to find their own path and unique approach to yoga. His interests include anatomy, getting hands-on with adjusting and assisting, Thai bodywork, mindfulness meditation, classical yoga, Tantra, Buddhist philosophy, and the Spanish language.
Andrea is a senior teacher at Flying Tree, and a teacher-trainer specializing in alignment-based Hatha yoga. She has been helping lead teacher training in both English and Spanish in a number of schools in Medellín. Her interests include the energetic body and chakras; bringing yoga to beginner-level students and helping guide new teachers along their path. “My Yoga classes are focused on the alignment of the physical body, connecting breath and movement and relaxing the mind so as to be in the here and now. It is here that we can connect with our true essence.”
This program will take place in the city of Medellín which is in the Antioquia Department of the Aburrá Valley in Colombia,
Flying Tree Yoga is located in the leafy and tranquil neighborhood of Laureles in the city of Medellín
Nestled in the Andés mountains, Medellín enjoys a perfect climate year-round, with average temperatures between 82 and 64 Fahrenheit (28 and 18 degrees Celsius), which has helped it earn its name as the City of Eternal Spring
The different neighborhoods offer a huge range of cultural diversity. From the wide and leafy avenues of Laureles, filled with cafés, restaurants, and boutiques and home to the Flying Tree Yoga studio, the vibrant street art, and rhythms of the Comuna 13, the bustling nightlife and salsa beats of El Poblado and the peaceful Jardín Botanico, there is always something new to see.
There are plenty of options for tourism outside the city too, with the spectacular lake of Guatape and the rock of El Peñol, the coffee and banana plantations of Jardín, and the historical streets of Jericó. You can also take one of Medellín's famous cable cars up the mountain to the forests of Parque Arví!
There is a fully equipped kitchen where guests are welcome to prepare their meals (the price of food is not included).
In the neighborhood close to the studio, there are numerous health food stores, vegetarian cafés, and supermarkets to cater to any diet.
At Flying Tree, they believe in helping qualified teachers navigate the professional world. Everyone who completes the 300-hour course can join them for a further month of internships in the studio, for a small additional fee.
The teacher training will always be followed by an internship program, allowing you to spend an additional month preparing yourself for the wider world of yoga teaching. You will teach classes as a member of the Flying Tree team and receive mentoring and constructive feedback from their team of experienced senior teachers.
It's a great way to find your feet as a teacher in a safe and nurturing space! The internship program is an additional 900 USD and runs several times throughout the year
For those who are interested in learning to teach yoga in Spanish, they also offer a specialized language course to help you start teaching a second language. The language program is an additional 350 USD and runs in the month following the teacher training.
