Host the Training:
Trauma and the nervous system

At Your Studio

Yoga Alliance YCEP Accredited

Using the Ancient wisdom on Yoga and Eastern philosophy to provide a space for healing trauma

Because so many yoga teacher training programs put such a huge emphasis on asana, many teachers aren't even aware of the depths these practices can take you as a teacher, a guide, and a mentor.

Many who have "studied" the Yoga Sutras have landed on the 8-limbed path- a beautiful representation of the sort of process that one can go through to achieve some level of removal of suffering..

But what often gets missed are the other incredible concepts present in this (and other texts). We can learn so much about our own identity, behavior, ego, how we show up in the world, how the world effects our perception of everything- if we dig deeper.

Studying this information allows for such more dynamic scope as a teacher. You can get pulled into the world of coaching through the lens of yogic psychology. You can study these texts along with great modern teachers like Gabor Mate and Bessel Van der Kolk to create programming to help your students find balance and ease from trauma and a dis-regulated nervous system.

These teachings paired with modern understanding give teachers the real world tools they need to be great teachers. Period. And provide the spaces for healing that our world so desperately needs.

"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.
