THE TEACHER

​

Andres Vesga's movement journey began as a kid, driven by curiosity — first through martial arts, then a few years studying dance. He also competed in aerobic gymnastics, performed as a dancer, and competed internationally in aerobic gymnastics. Looking back, this was never curiosity about one discipline alone, but a broader curiosity about movement itself — even before he had a name for it.

Alongside this, he built a career as a fitness trainer starting at age fifteen. This eventually took him around the world — presenting, training, and traveling extensively through Asia after moving to Hong Kong with his wife in 2009 to work with a major gym chain.

Then, in 2012, he met his teacher, Ido Portal. That meeting brought a paradigm shift — he realized that the curiosity he'd carried all along wasn't scattered across many disciplines. It was, all along, a curiosity about movement itself.

Since that first meeting, he has been Ido's student for around fifteen years — meeting him in person every year, and remaining a constant, ongoing student online. That path led him to start teaching movement himself in 2015. He spent the following years in Hong Kong building a movement community there.

Through these fifteen years of practice and study, Andres has experienced his own journey as a transformation — not only physically, in how he understands his body, the quality of his movement, his awareness, and his physical skills, but also mentally and emotionally. This transformation has extended into his personal life, shaping how he sees and lives it, and helping him grow as a husband and as a father.

Now, in 2026, he has moved with his wife and daughter to Berlin to start a new movement community here — continuing this journey and sharing it with anyone who wants to jump on board.
