School registered with the Yoga Alliance
Join us in person at our studio Flying Tree Yoga in Medellín for our online 200-hour certification course, registered with the Yoga Alliance, to give you the opportunity to become a qualified Yoga teacher.
We offer a fun, dynamic and creative course, with an emphasis on empowering you to plan and deliver your own classes to the public. We teach an alignment based Hatha Yoga that is suitable both for active flows and for more restorative or relaxing classes.
From week one we 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. Our course is designed to give you a thorough introduction to the traditional basis of yoga - its philosophy and rich history - to examine where our yoga practice is taking us - and at the same time to prepare you to be a teacher in the modern world.
Many people like to speak with us over Skype so we can discuss your needs and answer any questions you might have - let us know if you would like to organize a chat! Otherwise do write us with any questions.

“ I’m truly grateful to have had the opportunity to have been part of such an amazing community that supports and encourages one another and of course for Andrews unwavering guidance and instructions ”
“Flying Tree has a very comprehensive and thoughtful approach to their yoga teacher training. They are careful to give attention to both the scientific and philosophical aspects of the practice. Upon completion of the course you will have a profound respect for all aspects of the yogic lifestyle and an understanding that goes far beyond the asanas. The instructors are warm, personable, knowledgable, and extremely accessible. There was never a moment I felt unheard or unable to seek direct guidance. I feel fortunate for my time in the program and so will you.”
