”The yoga teacher training opened up my eyes and heart to a different world in one month.”
“With Path of Yoga, I found the confidence to teach in front of a class of students of different levels. And the teachers actually embody the philosophy and want to look out for you.”
– Mckenzie P.
Path of Yoga was founded by James French and Rory Trollen – experienced yogis, teacher trainers and good friends. Between us we have taught yoga all over the world. Our teaching team come from a variety of backgrounds, yogic styles and lineages.
Path of Yoga is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance. Upon successful completion of a 200-hour teacher training certification course, you will receive an internationally recognised Yoga Alliance 200-hour certificate, enabling you to become an RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher).
We have brought together a team of world-class teachers to create these exceptional and transformational Yoga Teacher Trainings in bespoke locations. The quality of the teaching faculty is really what separates this 200-hour Yoga TTC from any other.
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, combined with a science-based, modern approach of the West, create the essence and heart of this immersion course.
They made everyone feel seen, and they got to know every one of us.
We couldn’t have asked for better teachers. They meet our needs at all times. From having questions before signing up, until today, they are still delivering.
The curriculum is also perfectly planned, and the knowledge they are able to share in the training would take others years. All the asana classes were amazing and inspiring as well. I am so glad I chose Path of Yoga School.”

Mala Dhara Eco Resort is 30 minutes from Chiang Mai airport, in Northern Thailand.
It is a true gem of a resort, blending luxurious living with the feeling of living in nature. We’re excited to have secured it for our training and be able to share its gifts with you.
We have the wonderful choice of practicing in either the outdoor or indoor Yoga Shala; both are bright and spacious and provide the perfect environment for deepening your practice.
Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, on the banks of the Holy River Ganges. Rishikesh is thought by many to be the spiritual home of Yoga and it is one of the most beautiful and fascinating places to visit and practice in.
Our home in Rishikesh is in a peaceful area, a few kilometres outside of town.
Rainforest House is a large, beautiful villa surrounded by nature. It has plenty of hammocks and rest-areas to relax in, meditate, or simply watch the monkeys and birds. It’s right on the River Ganges, so you can jump straight in, and there’s also a stream and small waterfall that run through the property where you can bathe too.
Munay Sonqo Retreat and Yoga Centre, nestled in the Sacred Valley of Peru, will be our home for this magical training. Explore the local ruins, mountain region and the breath-taking Machu Picchu during your stay.
It provides an epic setting to all who are aspiring towards spiritual transformation, personal development, and connection to the natural world.
You love yoga and the practice, and are ready to deepen your skills and understanding.
You want to live a more healthy, balanced life… and perceive that there is a deep potential within you, which has yet to be unlocked.
You love learning about the different styles and benefits of yoga practices.
You have a sense of the healing benefits of Yoga, and want to dedicate yourself to helping others to find it too.
You long for personalised feedback and a community of supporters.
You’re looking to create a new income stream doing something you already love (and changing lives along the way).
You do not need to be a yoga expert before registering. What we do ask, is that you have been practicing for at least 6 months so that you are familiar with the basic concepts and postures. You are also right at home if you are more advanced at yoga or have already taken a training. Much of what you find here fills in the gaps as it is comprehensive and designed to provide you with what you need to know to become an extraordinary teacher.
An indicator of quality is that we often have students who are already Yoga teachers come to retrain with us, because of the high standard of education on offer.
We have students from all over the world but please note that the yoga teacher training is given in English.
We share a love for a strong and nourishing dynamic Vinyasa practice, married with traditional Hatha. In terms of Hatha/Vinyasa breakdown; it is roughly a 50/50 split. Some classes during the course may be more Hatha focused and some more Vinyasa, but overall it’s balanced.
Our aspiration is to dive as deeply as we can into both and encourage you to teach what makes you come alive in your own practice. By the end of the course, you will have taught several classes to your fellow students. This will leave you feeling confident and ready to teach friends, family, Yoga studios and future students!
Yes! We have graduates teaching all over the globe!
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive an internationally recognised Yoga Alliance, 200-hour certificate. This is all you need to get the appropriate insurance to start teaching in Yoga studios worldwide.
We usually have around 12-18 people on each course. Varying ages and varying nationalities are always present, and it really is a magical way to create a global family with connections that will last a lifetime!
We always have a minimum of 2 lead teachers, an anatomy teacher and 1 or 2 assistants. This is an unusually good teacher to student ratio, so you can expect plenty of personal care and attention.
Yes we do, all of our resorts are well versed in dealing with any allergy requirements you may have. Gluten free, dairy free, etc can also easily be accommodated, just let us know. Included in the course fees are 3 delicious vegetarian meals per day, served in a buffet style; more than enough to leave you feeling happy and healthy for the course duration!
The price includes full training, accommodation and meals – absolutely everything you need for the duration of the course. You will need to arrange your travel costs, travel insurance and Yoga mat… For everything else you will be fully and lovingly catered for.
Apart from travel costs, it really depends on how much you like to shop and the gifts you wish to bring home! Thailand, Peru and India are very well priced, so if you brought an extra $200 you would be well prepared for any extra drinking coconuts you wanted at the resort, plus a few nice gifts too. There will always be free herbal teas and water available.
The course begins at 4pm with an opening circle, followed by our first group meal. We recommend that you arrive a few hours before this (around 12-1pm), so you can unpack and settle into your room. Some students do like to arrive into the country a day or so before, and we can organise a night in the resort beforehand where possible, although many choose to stay in the surrounding area. We will provide recommendations of hotels/hostels nearby in our orientation pack, which is sent upon successful application.
The course ends around 1pm. That morning we will have our final Yoga practice followed by a closing circle where certificates are presented, although it may go a little later as hugs and goodbyes can often be hard to say no to! The latest we will depart the resort is 2pm (if you do wish to stay an extra night this can be arranged where possible).
Your deposit is transferrable to any of our other courses up until 1 month before the start of your chosen training, for a $200 fee.
Please note that refunds are paid by bank transfer and you are liable for any transfer fees.
Tuition fees and accommodation fees are non-refundable.
You can secure your place on a training by paying the $500 USD deposit.
The remaining balance is to be paid up to one month before the training start date.

The quality of our teaching team is what makes us stand out from the crowd. All of our teachers have been chosen for their level of experience, aspiration and dedication to Yoga. None of our teachers are recent graduates (which is the case with many other schools).
Supporting you to find your voice and your path is our priority. As teachers, we believe that it is our job to be in service to our students, and as Yogis, we practice for the benefit of all beings.
Learning to love yourself and the world around you.
Realising your connection to nature and the interconnectivity of all things.
Leading students through a practice that quiets the mind and opens the heart.
We believe in our world-class teachers, our incredible locations, and the power we have to follow our dreams and change the lives of those around us.
A truly transformational experience. For me it was so much more than just learning how to teach asana. I learnt so much about myself which I believe will help me move forward in so many areas of my life.
Thank you to James for creating such a beautiful 200-hour TTC and to Susan, Candy and Izzy who brought some extra sparkle to the course. I have gained new knowledge, experience and friends for life!
