300 Hour Level 2 Yoga Teacher Training in Thailand
We share a love for a strong yet nourishing dynamic Vinyasa practice married with traditional Hatha. The practically applied philosophy and sacred traditions of the East, together with the discoveries of modern sports science, are the essence and heart of this immersion course.
Join Path of Yoga for this rejuvenating month where we will live and breathe yoga together; developing ourselves physically and mentally and learning how to teach these transformative techniques to others.

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 develop and flourish into a more confident, knowledgeable yoga teacher.
What Our Students Say...
“A month of truly inspirational teaching, wisdom, insight and shared knowledge as well as laughter, joy, tears, release… It is hard to articulate what I received on this beautiful training for it is so much more than words can convey. My heart is full of gratitude and I am ready to share it with others… May the light that I received ignite the light within all those whose path crosses with mine…” – Tanya Marie Green

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.
