Will I be certified to teach after this program?

Yes. Graduates receive a Yoga Alliance–accredited 200-Hour Certification, recognized internationally.

Do I need to be flexible to join?

Not at all. Flexibility is something most gain through consistent practice but it is not in any way the important part of yoga. The training is about transformation, not showing up super flexible when most of your students are not.

A mix: professionals seeking a career change, yoga students deepening practice, wellness seekers who want transformation, and people pursuing mastery of mind-body health, and students of enlightenment of all paths.

FAQ -RUVENATION CODE AND VEGAN MASTER CERTIFICATION

What is the Vegan Master Certification?

It’s a Certification and transformational program designed by Fred Busch that resets your health, teaches you the science of plant-based nutrition, and certifies you as a Vegan Master. You can complete it at Medellín Retreat in Colombia, or 1:1 directly with Fred Busch (online or in-person).

Is this a diet or detox program?

No. This is not a fad diet, juice cleanse, or temporary detox. It’s a science-based system rooted in Fred Busch’s 20+ years of teaching nutrition. You’ll learn how to eat in a way that promotes permanent weight loss, energy, and anti-aging.

Do I need to be vegan to join?

Not at all. Many participants are not vegan when they arrive. The training is about understanding the principles of plant-based nutrition and how they affect health, vitality, and longevity.

What’s included at Medellín Retreat?

Accommodations, daily vegan meals, workshops, yoga and breathwork sessions, and access to the Retreat’s natural healing amenities (spring-fed river, sauna, cold plunge pools). You get the full immersive lifestyle reset experience.

What’s included in the 1:1 Certification?

Personal mentorship and private lessons with Fred Busch. You’ll cover the same 5 pillars, receive personalized guidance for your own health transformation, and graduate with the official Vegan Master Certification.

What if I only want personal transformation, not the certification?

That’s fine. Many join to lose weight, heal digestion, gain energy, or slow aging. The certification is an added benefit that requires reading and homework which is optional for those who do not wish to receive the certification.

How is this different from reading a book or watching videos online?

Books and videos don’t easily create lasting change. This program combines experiential learning, real-time practice, and direct mentorship from Fred Busch — so the transformation sticks for life.

How much time do I need to commit?

At Medellín Retreat, the program is 7 full days, fully immersive. For 1:1 mentorship, it can be structured more flexibly — often 7 days or spread across a few weeks to fit your schedule.

What results can I expect in 7 days?

Many students report losing a few pounds, better digestion, clearer skin, more energy, and a renewed sense of vitality. The tools you learn ensure these results are just the beginning and will last.
