About the Training

At Flying Tree, they offer a fun, dynamic, and creative course, with an emphasis on empowering you to plan and deliver your own 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 place an emphasis on practical experience - that means trying out your teaching skills! 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 prepare you to be a teacher in the modern world.

  • Dynamic, practical, and fun, the training program is designed to help you explore your own personal yoga path while empowering you to plan and deliver unique yoga classes
  • In the course you will learn to teach yoga with a focus on alignment, which can be adapted both for both vinyasa flows and restorative classes for a range of different students
  • The course is designed and guided by experienced professionals with a background in education
  • You will have plenty of opportunity to practice your teaching skills and prepare for your first Yoga classes
  • Community is a hugely important aspect of the Flying Tree studio; as part of your final project, you will organize and deliver a day of free yoga classes, guided meditation, and breathing to the local community!
  • The program at Flying Tree offers you the unique opportunity to follow your training with a month's internship and guided teaching, giving you practical experience in a studio setting and a professional reference on leaving! The internship is of course entirely optional and has a small additional fee

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 all the way up the mountain to the forests of Parque Arví!

Food

There is a fully equipped kitchen where guests are welcome to prepare their own 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.
