The Importance of knowing what you don't know

One of the things that comes with wisdom and maturity is knowing what you don't know. 

​So many yoga instructors leave their 200 hour ytt (even their 300 hour) with the most basic understanding of the foundations of Yoga and what capital "Y" Yoga is or means. 

​It has perpetuated rampant cultural appropriation and, like a game of telephone, has spread misinformation. 

​By hosting this training or weaving it into your current curriculum, you are working toward giving the next generation of change makers in a the Yoga world the chance to bring reverential practice that holds true to ancient wisdom and understands how to weave it into modern practice in a respectful way without watering it down.

"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.
