Colombia · 26 days · From USD 1299
This 26-day, 200-hour teacher training is held in Sasaima, a small town in the Cundinamarca department of Colombia, about 1.5 hours north of Bogotá. Sasaima is known for its rolling green hills, coffee farms, and quiet, laid-back atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can hear birds in the morning and see stars at night—perfect for getting away from the distractions of city life and diving deep into your study of yoga.
The curriculum covers the full 200-hour syllabus: asana alignment and adjustment, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, anatomy and physiology, and teaching methodology. You'll learn how to sequence classes, use your voice effectively, and give hands-on adjustments. In the final week, you'll take turns teaching your peers, and you'll graduate with the confidence to lead your own classes.
One of the highlights of this training is the instructors. Lila, the lead teacher, is known for her deep knowledge and her ability to explain complex concepts clearly. She has been teaching yoga for many years and has led numerous teacher trainings in Colombia and abroad. She's supported by a team of experienced assistants, ensuring you get plenty of individual attention.
The training also includes excursions into the surrounding area - weekend trips to a nearby waterfall, a local coffee farm, or the colonial town of Villeta have been part of past programs. These outings are a chance to experience Colombian culture and natural beauty, and to relax after a week of intense study.
Accommodation and meals are included in the price, and everything is organized so you can focus on your training. The venue is a purpose-built retreat center with simple but comfortable rooms, a dedicated yoga shala, and a dining hall serving healthy, mostly vegetarian meals. This is a residential training, so you'll be living with your group in a supportive and immersive environment.
