My experience at middle path movement was so wholesome and exceeded my expectations!

The location of my YTTC was I the most magical place ever in Sri Lanka at nirbana retreat.

Our teachers offered so much knowledge, understanding & wisdom which will stay with me for a lifetime.

There was plenty of opportunity for further exploration and questions on the course and I felt supported throughout.

The process for booking was seamless and there was support available throughout this process.

I would honestly say that this YTTC was life changing, empowering & that I got to meet the most beautiful souls.

I have recently completed the 200H YTT part time course with Middle Path Movement based at the Humble Hub studio in St Leonard’s. I work full-time, and so this was the perfect way for me to attend sessions and study whilst continuing with my normal my work schedule.

For me it was a truly transformative experience and exceeded my expectations. All our teachers were knowledgeable, friendly and super supportive and getting to know my fellow Yogi students has been an absolute pleasure. I loved every minute of it and would do it again in a heartbeat

If you have a calling to teach yoga or are just looking to deepen your own practice and understanding then you will not be disappointed. I would definitely recommend.

Review of Roots to Rise Retreat – East Sussex

I’ve just returned from the Roots to Rise retreat with Middle Path Movement, and honestly, it was an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming – the small group of just 12 participants made it feel really personal and connected.
The yoga sessions were a real highlight: Space and Flow yoga was both grounding and liberating, and hatha Yoga was incredibly energising . I loved the mix of activities – tarot readings, empowerment workshops, and even exploring Human Design – all thoughtfully curated to help you reconnect with yourself.
The food was wonderful , beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Every meal was great and honestly cannot fault anything- apart from fact I ate too much !!! . The setting in East Sussex was stunning too – surrounded by nature, it was the perfect backdrop for slowing down and finding clarity.
What stood out most was the care and energy from the team. They created a space where everyone felt supported and inspired. If you’re looking for a retreat that blends movement, mindfulness, and community, this is it. I left feeling lighter, stronger, and truly uplifted.thank you

I recently completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Sri Lanka with Middle Path Movement, and it was truly a life-changing experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely supported, inspired, and connected — not only to the amazing teachers but also to the beautiful community that formed during the training.

The program was so much more than just learning yoga poses; it was a deep journey into self-awareness, mindfulness, and holistic living. The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate, creating a space where everyone felt encouraged to grow at their own pace.
The location in Sri Lanka was absolutely stunning — surrounded by nature, peaceful beaches, and the most vibrant energy. Every day felt like a perfect balance of learning, practice, and self-discovery.

I can honestly say this experience was worth a lifetime. I left feeling grounded, inspired, and confident to share yoga with others. I’m deeply grateful to the Middle Path Movement team for creating such a transformative and unforgettable journey.

Highly recommend to anyone considering yoga teacher training or simply wanting to deepen their practice and reconnect with themselves.

A life changing experience, directing me towards a path full of answers to all constant struggles I had been going through....
Immensely grateful for this journey with Middle Path Movement 🙏🏻
It's been amazing with lovely group from all around the world getting together sharing every moment, standing through thick and thin in the mission to discover one's true self 😇
Felt as if I was in a parallel world, disconnected from chaos yet nourished by natures wonders✨ which made it possible by the amazing retreat " Nirbana" 🏝️🪷 and their friendly staff.

Jessica, Thank you millions for selecting me and providing everything to make this 200 hrs YTT programme successful 🙏🏻
You are true blessing from above !! 🧚🏻‍♀️🪽
I wish you nothing but the best in everything! 💕🫂

Truly blessed to be guided by two amazing teachers - Elle (a passionate yoga teacher, a wonderful woman , a warrior, a fighter who doesn't give up until her disciples do it right) and Varun ( a true yogi not only by words and by actions always, who brought the essence of yoga into our place and blessings of divine) 🙏🏻😇

As i continue my journey ahead...." You are your god and your body is your temple " ⛰️
🌊🌀🌬️🔥

Looking forward to share my experience with all and keep spreading the light 🕯️

Namaste!!! 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏻🪷

Took the YTT course at Middle Path Movement . Such Lovely teachers with real insights, guidance and good energy.

It was a transformational journey, it allowed me to have a sharper intuition & feel ready to lead others up the mountain. 🐏

A Highly recommended investment…
It transformed how I feel and flow.

Are you ready to evolve?

Gaining my 200YTT with Middle Path Movement was the best decision. The flexibility of the part-time course meant I could realistically reach my goal of becoming a yoga instructor. The wealth of knowledge gained from the multiple teachers who fed into the course really and truly meant I could find my own voice as a teacher. I would recommend MPM to anyone thinking of undertaking their YTT. We worked out of the Humble Hub, St. Leonards, which is an amazing destination.

I am so grateful to have met Jessica during my YTT in Bacalar, Mexico. Jessica was our teacher and guide through those weeks, and she had a profound impact on me during that transformative journey. Even after years, I still carry her lessons and inspiration with me. After all, it’s the people that make an experience like this truly life-changing. Jessica was transparent, real, and a beautiful example of living a life of evolution, kindness, and deep self-discovery. I admire the woman, mother, and creator that she is. I know she pours her heart and intention into all her projects, and I feel honored to have shared such beautiful moments together. I can’t wait for our paths to cross again! If you’re considering being her student or joining her community, I encourage you to take the step<3

A really rich and varied 200 hour training from a host of beautifully warm and caring teachers, hosted at the big hearted Humble Hub in St Leonard’s. The values of MPM are uplifting and the guidance is inspiring. I am reborn! 🙏☺️

I have recently completed a 15 hour Assist, Adjust & Thai Massage course run by Dee Simpson of Tula Balance & Jessica Noifeld of Middle Path Movement. Although it is headed advanced teacher training I feel that anyone who practices yoga & wants to deepen & enhance their own practice would benefit from this course. I know I did. A small group, excellent teachers made this experience very special. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Amazing course, given me so much confidence and inspiration for my future classes. Highly recommend to any teacher! Dee & Jess have so much knowledge to share!

An incredible experience with knowledgeable, gorgeous, friendly, real and grounded teachers. I would definitely recommend taking a course with Middle Path Movement and Tula Balance if you want to improve your teaching skills or become more confident with assists and adjustments.

Through my journey of Yoga TT course i completed my Assisting and Adjusting course 15 hours with Middlepath Movement. My teacher Dee & Jessica put together a phenomenal program in which they taught you many different techniques of assisting and adjusting for those people attending your yoga class, teaching how to provide full support and encouragement for the person who’s being assisted in which they can completely surrender to their full potential.
I have come away with so much knowledge and experience which has also helped me understand my body better. Dee and Jessica’s knowledge and experience comes with full depth and understanding from their own experiences with their teachers across the world and they bring this into our lives. I will continue to share my yoga journey with Middlepath Movement in the future 🙏

Wow! Words cannot expressed how grateful I am for this course - Jess and Dee were superb teachers and I only wish the course was longer - I felt I could have continued learning from them for days!!
As a teacher I feel truly reenergised and full of new information but also joy for my time at the studio. I can’t wait for the next one!

Being part of MiddlePathMovement and Tula Balance’s collaborative yoga teacher training was truly transformative. From day one, the space they created felt like stepping into a beautiful sisterhood - supportive, empowering, and deeply nourishing. The trainers held us with such wisdom, care, and authenticity, guiding us not just as students but as whole beings. I walked away with so much more than teaching skills; I left feeling more connected to myself, to community, and to the practice in its fullest expression. Gratitude ❤️

I had such a wonderful experience at this yoga school! The training was not only deeply enriching but also filled with so much love, wisdom, and support. The teachers were absolutely fabulous — knowledgeable, inspiring, and truly dedicated to our growth both on and off the mat. I also feel so grateful to have formed beautiful connections with my fellow YTT sisters… friendships that I know will last a lifetime. I recommend this school to anyone looking to dive deeper into yoga and themselves 💫

My time at Middle Path Movement was transformative. From my first session, I felt welcome, seen and supported (not just as a student, but as a person).

I personally, has limited experience and carried many doubts about myself (my skills , my abilities) and if I truly belonged in that space. During that first session, I was welcomed with warm, respect and ENCOURAGEMENT that those doubts slowly began to soften.

About my training, it was far more than learning postures, it was a journey of self discovery and empowerment (for me and my beautiful classmates). I will always carry this experience with me and I know in my heart I will always be their student. I hope to continue learning with this beautiful "Middle Path Movement" and I am so grateful to be part of this community.

**RYT 200 hours**

Jess and Sam (Elevation Lab Aerial Arts) were unbelievably kind to share their fun and thoughtful aerial yoga course with me ❤️ It felt like a two-day cocoon and I came out a whole new person 🤸Thank you for offering me the space to explore 🙏

Samy and Elly are amazing teachers ! The duo works very well, both of them bring something different for the class! They share with us Kindness, deep conversations, playfulness moments, spirituality and technique, sharing their experiences and wisdom with love, patience, pedagogy and professionalism ! Can’t recommend a better school and teachers !
The small group of 11 students was very appreciable ! Everyone was kind, sharing their knowledge and experiences in a non judgmental way!!!
Also, the place was amazing, everyone already miss the chef Jerome and his nice meals!

Sri Lanka, 2025

The aerial course with Elevation Lab was so brilliantly thought out. We were taught a lot of information at a pace that allowed us to try everything out and feel confident. Jess and Sam’s teaching is person-centred and created a welcoming space for students from different backgrounds. Highly recommend!

Humble Hub is such a spacious and elegant space that gives you a sense of zen and peace, with lush leafy plants around and clean environment in details. The yoga teachers from the Aerial / Hammock Yoga are absolutely the best .

I recently completed the 4-month part-time 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Middle Path Movement at Tula Balance in Orpington, and I’m so grateful I chose this journey. I was blessed to win a place on the course as part of a giveaway when I met Jessica at the Om Yoga show (so try your luck if ever these opportunities come your way!) and it all felt very aligned in terms of the learning and spiritual path I wanted to embrace at that time in my life.

The teachers at Middle Path Movement were knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and incredibly supportive; they really held space for our growth, not just as future yoga teachers but as whole and unique people. I learned so much more than just textbook information and physical practice, how to sequence a class or guide breathwork. The teachers were inspiring and this was a real journey of self-discovery and transformation for me. I loved the personal touches that each teacher brought with them, whether it was in their catchphrase sayings, their oracle cards, their adjustments, their general approach or their energy. It all highlighted how authentic and passionate they are in what they do.

The travel wasn’t always easy to get all the way to Orpington, which felt quite a way out in Zone 6, and the three full weekends a month were definitely intense, but I came out of it stronger, more confident, and more connected to my body and my voice.
As someone who’s struggled with body issues in the past, I used to find yoga asana quite confronting and didn't have a solid physical practice of my own when I started, but this training helped me shift that narrative and now I feel stronger, more capable, and far more compassionate with myself on the mat.

The group of women I trained with were all amazing and it felt like a true sisterhood. The connections, encouragement, tears and laughter we shared were just as healing as the practice itself!

Huge thank you to Middle Path Movement and the amazing team at Tula Balance for creating such a beautiful container for growth. I loved this yoga teacher training experience and would recommend it to anyone who wants to develop a grounded, culturally and philosophically aware approach to yoga that honours yoga's roots, embraces modern practice infused with ancient wisdom, and receive tons of step-by-step assistance, guidance and support.

I have recently completed the 200H Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher Training with Middle Path Movement. It has been an amazing experience, it has definitely exceeded my expectations. We had a variety of teachers, each of them bringing their unique flair and approach to yoga, whilst being deeply knowledgeable and experienced. Their trainings create a very inclusive, gentle and nurturing environment. Would recommend this and other trainings to anyone looking to learn more about authentic yoga.

I have recently finished my 200 hours YTT with Middle Path Movement- Tula Balance. It has been nothing short of amazing. There are so many different teachers, all giving a sprinkle of their yoga magic. The support has been unwavering, all teachers extending their support even after the course has finished. The course is inclusive in every way and I learned so much from my peers/trainees. We were all starting our journeys from different points but it blended so well. If you are thinking of booking it, do it! You will not regret it. It’ll be one of the best things you do for yourself. I have also booked onto the aerial yoga course & will continue to book training with MPM. Thank you so much to the MPM/TB team, I will forever be grateful for how much I got out of this training!

It was an incredible experience, really well organised and just what I needed for my current stage in life. Thank you so much!!

I enjoyed every second of it. Such an amazing journey, it really was something I will remember forever. I met incredible people and I had the chance to have the best teachers I could have wished for.
Thank you Jessica for making all this possible. Thank you for the sharing, the authenticity. Middle path was everything I was looking for.
🧘‍♀️☀️ Can’t wait to see you again old friends.

If you are wondering about the experience of a yoga teacher training, you found the one to make your mind.

Participated in the 200hr YTT in Sri Lanka in 2025. Such a wonderful experience - great resort, amazing teachers, wonderful community - everything was exceptional and I am so grateful to the MPM team! x

Participating in the Middle Path Yoga Teacher Training in Sri Lanka has been a truly enriching experience. The program seamlessly blends authentic yogic philosophy with practical teaching techniques, creating a nurturing environment for deep personal and spiritual growth.

The teachers are both incredibly knowledgeable and deeply compassionate, guiding each of us with patience, wisdom, and integrity. Their commitment to traditional yoga teachings, combined with a modern, inclusive approach, made every lesson feel both rooted and relevant in modern life.

The location itself in Nirbana retreat is immersed in nature and provides a peaceful backdrop for inner reflection and learning. The food, accommodations, and community vibe all contributed to a truly holistic experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend this training to anyone seeking not just to teach yoga, but to live it.

I recently completed the 15-hr Assists & Thai Massage course and it was an incredible experience! Jess and Dee created a really warm, supportive, and hands-on learning environment. I feel more confident in my ability to offer safe and effective assists and excited to put to practise the Thai massage techniques we learnt. Highly recommend ✨🙏🏾

I joined the 15 hour Yoga Assist and Thai massage course a couple of weekends ago and it was so helpful and full of depth. The wealth of experience on offer from Jess and Dee was just what I was needing to add to my yoga teaching. Being someone who has only taught for 18 months my skills are predominantly at the front of the class, but I want to make sure I am adjusting more and giving my students the full experience of their potential and really experiencing the asana to its fullest and this course really allowed me to feel this is possible in my future classes. As for the Thai massage this was a bonus and a beautiful practice to learn a wonderful addition to the weekend which will enhance my clients experience of the likes of savasana and also gave me insight to my own interests in reiki and applying energy healing within my work.

I would definitely recommend Jess and Dee's courses to anyone if they really want thorough insight and a patient approach to understanding the needs of the student teachers and their practice.

I really enjoyed the Adjustments and Thai Massage course. What an incredible experience. I learned so much and it really enhanced my yoga teachings. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much for this amazing experience.

I recently attended an amazing course on yin with middle path movement. The whole structure of the course was perfectly formed with intuitive instruction, a nurturing environment, everyone was so friendly and Jess and Dee were amazing teachers. I can’t wait to go on the next course they offer. Thankyou so much for all your help , I started using the information I learned immediately with my clients x

I took part in a yin yoga course with middle path movement and Tula balance and I had the absolute best time. It was a 15hour short course so it isn’t a lot of time but despite that the amazing teachers filled us up with so much knowledge and confidence to go out and teach yin. Always have the best time with Jess and Dee!

Absolutely loved doing my assist course with Middlepath Movement, Jess is such a wonderful teacher. Can't wait for my next course.

I had the pleasure of joining Jessica and Dee at Tula Balance for the assists, adjusts and Thai yoga massage course. From the beginning I received positive vibes from. I had never been to the studio nor had I met either instructor yet I was welcomed with open arms. The course content was brilliant, the demonstrations extremely informative and we had lots of time to put into practice what we had been shown. I'd highly recommend the course to anyone looking to learn and understand how to assist and how Thai massage can be intertwined into a physical practice too.

I attended Jessica’s 200 hour yoga teacher training. It was a life changing experience. Jessica is a knowledgeable, capable, and compassionate teacher whose unique style of interactive instruction made the essential principles of yoga philosophy, techniques and health benefits easily accessible to students of all ages. As a senior citizen, I deeply appreciated her hands in attention to detail approach . Moreover, I look forward with great confidence and enthusiasm to take her 300 hour yoga teacher training in the near future.

Jess is the most authentic and encouraging teacher, I’m so happy I decided to do my ttc with middle path movement

I could not have dreamed of a better course. Such devoted, wise and supportive teachers, a safe space and a beautiful community. Can’t believe how much I learnt and it gave me the skills and confidence I needed to start teaching even before the end of the course. Wish I could do it all over again!!!

I have just completed the 200 hours yoga teacher training at Tula. It has been the most amazing experience. Not only the teachers have the most in depth knowledge about yoga, they are also warm, loving and inspiring. They provided a safe environment for us to grow and develop. I went in to learn more about yoga but come out with so much more. Thank you so much Jess and Dee. xx

I did my 200H YTT in Sayulita in Mexico and I am really happy i choose Middle Path Movement to do it. Teachers are great, open minded, with a big knowledge in theory and practical without beeing too radical. The group was small which was good to learn a lot.
The location is great and vibes are good, go for it !

I loved my time at the teacher training with Middle Path Movement! The teachers were extremely helpful and guided us through the training with a lot of patience and compassion, allowing us to greatly benefit from their knowledge and vast experience. Due to a very personal and open atmosphere, there was a lot of space for individual needs and every student could develop in their own way. I joined the training in Sayulita, which is a lovely town by the sea, which was an additional perk 🙂

I am currently on the Middle Path Movement & Tula Balance 200hr YTTC and I could not have dreamt of a more enriching experience. The balance between philosophy, anatomy & physiology, asana clinic & sequencing, pranayama, and physical practice is perfect. The teachers are varied and inspiring, and their support is so sincere. The structure has allowed me to fit training around work, which I am grateful for. I am learning lessons for life, and loving every minute! Thank you to Jess, Dee, Chloe, Eisha and Sophie for making it so wonderful

So thankful to have found Tula Yoga, an authentic and soul nourishing studio. I have been practicing with Dee for some time and feel both the dynamic energy as well as the wholesome release that comes at the end of a rounded yoga practice combining: breath, mind and physical. As soon as I saw the YTT 200hr course I knew that I would be fully supported, challenged both physically and mentally and I have not been disappointed. The variety of teachers in the course all have something different to add from their wealth of experience. Jess from Middle Path Yoga creates an authentic, balanced and almost spiritual experience: one from which you feel as though you have been transported to India! Having the course over 4 months has given me the opportunity to apply the physical and the philosophy to my day to day life making it even more meaningful for me and allowing me to work around my little family. I would wholeheartedly recommend the part time teacher training if you are even thinking about it, you won't regret it. 🥰🙏

This training has been an absolutely incredible experience it has been informative, confidence-boosting an invaluable experience for me, and I have gained so much from it. Would HIGHLY recommend

My experience on Middle Path Movements 200hr YTTC far exceeded all expectations - from the teachings to the daily practices, the food and accommodation were all incredible. The organisation of everything was on point and I can’t recommend this school enough! If you’re thinking of booking a training with them - go for it!

The YTT in Sayulita was amazing. Great balance between philosophy and medical knowledge. Intense classes and Yin recovery. Loved my time here & ready to teach.

Grateful for being able to take YTT 200 with amazing team and knowledgeable teachers! Would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve and deepen their yoga practice

This experience made me a different person coming out than going in. The instructors are truly captivating and the staff deeply care. It is intense and transformative process. The accommodations are clean and there is a pool to enjoy. Sayulita is a fun and loud place 🙂 the yoga was amazing and have only high regards for the special people who made this happen.

I had no idea what to expect in this yoga teacher training retreat. I joined at the last minute after being invited by the staff. My experience was both a spiritual and physical healing journey. The location in Sri Lanka was paradise and the teachers were both a “10”. I would definitely join this team again for training.

It was an experienced I could never have even dreamt of , so happy I chose this training. Truly held and supported the middle path team. I love you guys and would highly recommend!
