300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

Peak Inside Your Training

Module 1

History and Philosophy

Sunday September 14th

In this module we take an in-depth look at the worlds of capital "Y" and lowercase "y" Yogas across the spectrum of the ancient to modern landscape. We attempt to define what "Yoga" is and how to respectfully offer this ancient wisdom in the current climate of our world. 

You can expect study on: 

  • Yoga Darshsana & Samkhya Darshana
  • Buddhism
  • Hatha Yoga
  • An anti-colonial look at The History of Yoga
  • The Kleshas and The Karmic Cycle of Samskara

Module 2

Vinyasa and Advanced Asana

Sunday October 12th

Deepen your understanding of alignment, sequencing, and advanced postures through a new lens. We will discuss the postures of the Pradipika and the evolution of the movement practice, ethical and safety responsibility as teacher, and work through languaging, sequencing and alignment through the eyes of the student.

Learn to truly create an autonomous space.

In this training “advanced” doesn’t mean “difficult, it means “holistic”. Teachers will have a new understanding of the way we approach and use asana. 

Gain a better understanding of the traditional uses of asana and how to better use movement practices to create a space for healing. 

Module 3 & 4

Meditation and Advanced Pranayama

Sunday November 9th and Sunday December 7th

In the meditation and advanced pranayama module, we work through personal practice exploring various styles of meditation and studying advanced pranayama techniques. 

We also work through the application of these techniques with varying populations.

  • Chakras
  • Nadis

"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.

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!

"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.
