"An amazing transformative experience"

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.

"10/10 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.
