I am incredibly grateful, that I was able to do the 200 h with Path of Yoga honestly. The teachers Katrien, India, Amy and James were unbelievable. The Asana in the morning, the lectures, chanting, being together with this wonderful group of heart-warming souls, the hugs, the laughs, the tears.. Everything was just a once in a lifetime experience. I am still thinking about it and miss it everyday. If you are hesitating to book Path of Yoga, this is your sign to just do it and get yourself the teacher training you deserve! Get ready for an intense, emotional and sometimes demanding, yet grounding, healing and educational month, which you'll never forget!

I put my full faith and trust in Path of Yoga for both my 200 hour and 300 hour trainings, and I don't think I've ever made a better decision in my life. Completing both over a period of 2 months was intense, but ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. I am and will be forever grateful to James French and all the amazingly talented teachers he's brought on to the team for all the knowledge, time, effort, heart and soul they've put in. It was no easy breezy training, but I can guarantee you will come out extremely talented and confident, ready to take on the yoga teaching world; I feel so equipped to finally carry out my dream. This is definitely the school for both people who are just starting out or those wanting to take their teaching to the next level. Again, thank you James (+ Ian + Casey + Emily + Josh). Wishing you all the best and all the success in the world. You guys deserve it🙌🏼💜 From thinking I'd never be able to do a headstand to nailing it over a month, lol, you guys are awesome!

If you're looking for a teacher training, then stop looking, you've found the right one! I know there are sooo many, so it's hard to chose, but this one exceeded my expectations. You get so much information and up to date knowledge that you can fully immerse yourself in everything yoga related. The course is structured really well and so elaborate. You get a lot of yoga philosophy but also anatomy, yoga business, pranayama, an immersion in the chakra's and of course don't forget the physical practices in the morning, the hands on adjustments and the clinical postures breakdown. From the beginning on they gradually build up you're teaching skills, so that when you finish the training, you already have a lot of practice and you feel confident to go teach in the real world. But for me what makes a course special (any course, not just this one), are the people who give it. A course can be so wonderfully structured and everything, if the energy of the teachers is not good, the course will not feel well. Well, these teachers, Rory and James were wonderful! They have an amazing energy, good humor, great teaching skills which is the most important thing for me. They are genuinely so good people! They also give well structured creative yoga flows:) Oh and don't forget all the extra things (like acro, ayurveda, chanting,...)  and the good food!:) Stop doubting and do this for yourself, whether you wanna teach or not. You will not regret it😘

Attending this training was one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I searched for months for the ideal program for me (in all corners of the world) and I couldn't be happier that I chose this one. Not only are the instructors incredibly knowledgeable and proficient, they are kind, open-hearted, fun, and do all things with love. They truly live what they teach and it's inspiring to be around. The course is structured incredibly well, instilling confidence in you from day 1, which increases every day as you learn more and more. I would never have believed I'd feel comfortable teaching a class immediately after completing a YTT, but I do and I'm excited to do so!! If you are looking for a truly transformational and educational month then Path of Yoga is for you. I am endlessly grateful.

The course was extremely well structured and a lot of valuable knowledge and solid teachings were transmitted by the teachers: James, Akari and Chris. I feel that I was given all the tools to be able to teach by the end of it. The course also invited and allowed me to go on a deeper inner journey that created so much self-reflection and, inevitably, personal growth. I would definitely recommend Path of Yoga to everyone that asks me about where to deepen their knowledge. Everything else is a very welcome plus :)

As a married man, father of three young kids, and running in the rat-race  I was at a stage in my life where I wanted to challenge myself physically, mentally and spiritually. To try something new...
I had taken up yoga several years before I decided to pursue a Teacher Training Course in Yoga. Having spoken to several people here in Australia and in the UK I was looking for a facilitator and trainer who would give me a holistic approach to yoga and give understanding on how it could be integrated into my life.
After some research, I was recommended Rory Trollen who was teaching in India at the time. I signed up and have not looked back. Rory, with his common sense approach, his Scottish wit, and thoroughly good knowledge of all facets of yoga led me to a new take on life, which has been more fulfilling.
He inspired me to push myself on and off the matt and my time learning from him was a life changer. He ran his course extremely professionally and did the utmost to help our group navigate this new journey.

What a month it was!
I am beyond proud of how far I have come. My 200hr YTT in Chiang Mai cannot be described accurately in words. It was probably the biggest period of growth I’ve ever experienced, and what a beautiful group of individuals from all over the world I got to share this with, students and teachers.
I cried a hell of a lot, and built relationships with people in 4 weeks and it feels like I’ve known them a lifetime. I gained SO much knowledge and wisdom, and not just about stretching on a mat. Path of Yoga runs an intense course - but I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
I was pushed to my limits, challenged, and so incredibly supported. And the quality of my experience is so much higher than it could have been in another circumstance, all because of the passion and dedication James and his carefully selected teachers poured into the training. I’m so excited to get teaching!!
Yoga is so much more than what many perceive it to be, goes so much deeper. This is the best course to learn to teach, and the best month to deepen your own practice. It’s a mind, body, breath, soul connection that happens on & off the mat. After this month, I feel more free from myself than I ever have.
I’m not perfect; I have a lot to work on. And that’s why I chose to show up on this course, for Me. And You should do it for You. You live once. Make it flipping count!! X

Transformative, nurturing and challenging
Path of Yoga Teacher Training is an amazing experience. I could not recommend this course more strongly. I learned more about Yoga than I could have imagined beforehand, and just as much about myself.
The teachers were wonderfully kind, inspiring and professional. Their dedication to their practice and their knowledge was impressive. I felt individually supported and understood throughout the course.
The environment was beautiful. The covered but open-sided Shala where we spent the majority of our waking hours had the most incredible views, cooling breeze, and protected us from the extremes of sun and rain that are unavoidable part of the Thai wet season.
It was a pleasure to be looked after by the resort. I would definitely recommend paying the relatively small amount extra for a private room. I would not have liked to have to share as others did.
I felt feeling exhausted but completely uplifted. If you take this course, you will not be disappointed.

Life changing!
Going in, I knew mostly about asana practice, and wanted to learn more about the rest of yoga. Turns out, I did learn so much more, more so than I even dared to hpe. After this month, I feel enlightened, energized, wiser, faster better stronger, thoroughly inspired, and ready to give back. Thank you Amazing Amy, Rocking Rory, fantastic intervenants Olga and Tara, and facilitators Monine and Thea for everything you taught us, for the love and the laugh and the life we shared. Gorgeous setting amongst organic rice fields, surrounded by many furry loving friends, an everyday delight for nature & animal lovers. And the foooood was marvel!! Do take note that it is FULLY VEGAN, not vegetarian. Still dreaming of fresh fruit-filled breakfasts, noodle soups galore, pad thai and home-made tempeh.
Again, what a magical journey, filled with rich knowledge and packed full of teaching practice experiences. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

I did the 200hr teacher training this October in chaing Mai and it was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Path of Yoga had been recommended to my by an experienced yoga teacher friend and I'm so glad I signed up. The teaching from Amy and Katrien was exceptional, the location and accommodation everything I could have wanted and I left feeling like I had all the tools needed to start a teaching career. The course content is much more extensive than other teacher trainings out there and I not only learnt so much about yoga and how to teach it but about myself too. I would recommend to anyone, go and see how amazing it is!

Although I was already an experienced yoga teacher when I joined this TTC I have still learned a ton during the course! It was also very refreshing to hear a new perspective on some of the concepts I already knew. Anatomy classes were really awesome and well presented to help maximize knowledge retention. Personal transformation part of the course was well integrated in the overall curriculum and helped us work on some of our personal challenges. The course was very intense and packed with practice and teachings but was also a lot of fun! Highly recommended!

I’ve just completed the 200hr training with path of yoga in Chiang Mai and can’t recommend it highly enough. The teaching team were fantastic, they really went the extra mile to make sure everything ran smoothly and they are so clearly passionate about yoga and teaching they were really inspirational. This course is very in depth, I felt like I learned so much in just a month. Mala Dhara was wonderful, really unique accommodation, in the middle of rice paddy fields, surrounded by mountains with delicious food. So many thanks to Amy, Katrine and Saphia for all their hard work xxx

I completed my training in 2018 with Path of Yoga and it was one of the most amazing and life changing experiences I've had the opportunity to experience. The knowledge and experience the teachers brought to our TTC was exceptional and I feel very blessed and grateful to have been part of it. I can’t recommend this course enough, the venue is beautiful and peaceful in north India, we had practice and meditation everyday, with beautiful friendships made and sooooo much knowledge gained. Also so much love in the room at all times. I now teach classes in London, I'm organising a retreat next year and my whole lifestyle has changed thanks to Path of Yoga.

I attended Path of Yoga’s 200hr training in Chiang Mai, Thailand in October 2019. This training is truly unlike most YTT’s - from the small class sizes (this is huge), the knowledge and accessibility of the teachers (also, HUGE), room for questions and discussion, the self-inquiry and introversion practices, the beautiful locations and amazing FOOD. There is nothing I don’t recommend about this training. You will come out with a very solid base of knowledge and lifelong teachers. I am very grateful I found this one.

Amazing teacher training! Highly recommend James as a teacher who knows the necessary details about human body and every yoga Asana. I qualified in April 2021 and I'm working exclusively as a yoga teacher! The skills you'll learn will stay with you even if you decide not to pursue the career. I returned last night from teachers tune up retreat held in Portugal and this experience gave me a beautiful boost of energy to continue on this path despite COVID-19 times. Lots of love and light, Ewelina ❤ @Kind2Self

One of the best experiences in my life. It's not just a simple YTT, it's much more than that. It is personal transformation and awakening of consciousness. So many love, wisdom and sharing. Chiang Mai YTT 2018 with James and Amritha was just magical.They are really good at their job. 5 stars I will do it again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Path Of Yoga is a life changing month away, where you start your journey inwards. I thought I was going to go and learn how to teach a few poses but it turned into a month of transformation and I came away feeling like a whole new being. Not only do I feel confident to teach I have also created new habits to fulfill me in ways I was always searching for. The teachers are beyond amazing and all full of so much knowledge that they share in such a supportive and encouraging environment. Could not recommend highly enough of this YTT!
