Akasha Yoga School
Yoga for practice, teaching and motherhood
Yoga here reaches beyond the mat into the transitions of motherhood and the work of learning to teach. Founded by yogini and teacher Lila Lorduy, Akasha Yoga School runs Yoga Alliance–certified training programs, including prenatal and postnatal yoga specializations, alongside sound healing and women’s retreats. It also welcomes people who want to deepen a personal practice rather than pursue certification. The school is based in Puerto Colombia, a Caribbean-coast town in Atlántico, and its facilities include a yoga studio, pool, kitchen, free Wi-Fi and air-conditioned rooms. Vegetarian and dairy-free dietary options are listed. Training and retreat formats may suit very different goals, from exploring yoga for the first time to developing practical teaching skills. Prices start at USD 575; ask the school about the schedule, inclusions and current dates for a specific program.
