YES Academy Reviews

These 3 weeks at Ishka center for the YES Academy program was amazing ! I had a wonderful time with beautiful people.
The teachers are awesome, open minded, friendly, nice .... the class are really good and interesting always in a fun way of learning !
I just wish the food was included because it’s a pretty intensive program and there is not much around the area when you are lazy to cook ! But except that I would recommand it for sure ;)

YES Academy is the best place for yoga, Salsa and Spanish. The schedule of classes was made to keep everyone disciplined of doing the practice and achieving great results at the end.
I really enjoyed it and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is into yoga, learning new stuff and dancing. Our teachers Simon and Lina were extremely passionate and helpful in mastering the new skills.
Great place to make new wonderful friends from all over the world. Great experience with great people!

After having completed my yoga teacher training at the Ishka Center and finding out that Ishka provides a yoga, espanol e salsa course, I signed up straight away. This has been the most amazing value for money course, not just in terms of the amount of yoga and salsa we got to enjoy and practice every day but the daily 4 hours of spanish lessons which were divided into two hours of classroom learning in the morning which we got then to playfully integrate in conversation in the 2 hours in the afternoon. The teachers, Simon and Lina, are just so passionate about their work and they really enjoy the progress their students make. Their fun and playful way of teaching enabled me to really learn and engage and I am now able to enjoy speaking Spanish on my travels which already allowed me to connect in a much more deeper way with locals. I cannot recommend this course highly enough. Thank you Ishka

Perfect for people who are just starting to learn Spanish. The instructors were wonderful, fun, patient, and kind.
Basic housing but no hot water
Just outside the city 30ish minutes by car to the city center
Kitchen provided
Weekend group trips planned
4 hours of Spanish (2 hours class, 2 hours fun language activities), 1.5 hours salsa, 1.5 hours yoga Monday-Friday *instructors constantly improving course so this may change*

I had a beautiful experience. The teachers Simon and Lina were outstanding. Always spreading fun and love to all of us. The combination of learning Spanish with yoga and salsa was also great. The "club" nights were so much fun, a great Colombian experience everyone should make while in Cali. I can recommend this retreat to everyone who wants to learn Spanish in a great atmosphere.
