Here is what our students are saying

"I have grown so much personally"

I had such an amazing transformative experience with Direct Path taking my 200hr YTT, and with Jess Proulx. She led with heart, with the goal of teaching to the true meaning of Yoga and I've grown so much personally that I'm heading right into the 300hr! Really looking forward to this next chapter and continuing my education and so very glad I went with Direct Path.

- Sara N. 

"I am forever grateful"

I am so glad I decided to get my yoga teacher certification with Direct Path. It was the most welcoming environment where I was able to grow tremendously. I gained so much knowledge about myself and about the world in addition to learning to become a yoga teacher. I am forever grateful for this experience and the teachers at Direct Path.

- Haylee S. 

"10 out of 10 would recommend"

Studying with Direct Path was such a pleasure! I learned so much about teaching in a way that is safe, responsible, and receptive to others. I also loved connecting the physical practice to other aspects of yoga.
10/10 would recommend!

- Kristen L. 

"I truly value all the teachings"

I would recommend Direct Path to a fellow yoga teacher or person wanting to learn more about yoga. They covered a wide range of course material from asanas, meditations, anatomy, history, and so much more. I truly value all the teachings and lessons I learned during my time at Direct Path.

- Tatianna T.

Why this program?

Because you want to get beyond the asana

This program is for Yoga teachers who understand the expansiveness of the Yogas and Yoga philosophy and want to go deeper that just a physical experience. They want to seamlessly blend the worlds of East and West and do it in a way that is practical and attainable for their students. 

Why else?

Because you want to do more than teach studio classes

We developed a detailed capstone project to teach you how to understand audiences, niches, program and course building, research, retreat experiences, and how to provide programs for healing and growth. 

Why else?

Because you are ready to heal and teach your community to heal as well! 

This program will give you the knowledge to provide practical tools for healing. You will leave with a deep understanding of trauma, nervous system regulation, health, and healing from a modern medicinal approach, a Yoga philosophy approach, and using Ayurveda, mindfulness, asana, and breath work.  

Our goal is to provide the education and personal, transformative experience that Yoga teachers need to be well-rounded, dynamic and respected change makers!
