Your path to becoming a Yoga Alliance 500-hour certified yoga teacher is so much more than just learning breathwork and poses; this is your opportunity to progress with your practice, and to develop and flourish into a more confident and knowledgeable yoga teacher.
What Our Students Say...
“The most transformational month of my life. We were pushed to find our edge in a safe and supportive environment which enabled emotional, physical and mental growth. The teachers created a warm and exciting space where I felt I could be vulnerable as well as ambitious and experimental. James the other teachers were all incredibly knowledgeable – offering deep insight into breath work, physical asana, anatomy, philosophy and beyond. I met so many brilliant people on this course, always feeling encouraged and supported. The resort was a beautiful space to practice – somewhere so perfectly cultivated for self inquiry and development. I recommended this course to anyone looking for time to reflect, dig deep and remind themselves of their inner strength.” – Ellen Brownings

James French
James French
James was born in London and first discovered yoga in 2003, while at drama school. However, he truly caught the bug a few years later while performing in a Shakespeare production that toured India. His routine of sunrise practices overlooking the rooftops of Udaipur with an old yogi called Prakash sealed the deal. Since obtaining his 500 hour teacher training certificate with Tribe, James has completed 200 hours with Max Strom and taken further training with David Swenson, Yogrishi Vishvketu, and Tiffany Cruickshank and continues his studies on advanced training with Jason Crandell. His other major influences are Max Strom, Yogrishi Vishvketu, David Swenson, Christopher Wallis and his guru, Sri Prem Baba.

Susan Marrufo, MA, E-RYT 500, left the United States and a job in advertising in 2008 to travel internationally and experience life beyond the confines of her cultural conditioning. She received her first 500-hr yoga certification in Thailand in 2009, where she began her studies of the classical yogic scriptures and delved deeply into esoteric tantric philosophy. After 2 years of teaching month-long tantric based courses on the banks of the Ganges in India and the Pacific coastal towns of Mexico, Susan returned to the US to begin a residential internship with the Kripalu School of Yoga, where she taught in and project managed several Kripalu yoga teacher trainings as well as received her 2nd 500-hr teacher training certification from the Kripalu School of Yoga.
Since then, Susan has split her time between India, Thailand and the US, facilitating group courses in the inquiry of yoga and meditation as well as diving increasingly deeper into her own yogic studies. After many years of travel, she is happy to have found a home in the City of Angels.
