I couldn't recommend Middle Path Movement highly enough. The depth of knowledge, authenticity of the teachings, and genuine passion of the teachers create an incredibly inspiring learning environment.
Every aspect of the training is approached with care, respect for the tradition, and a real commitment to helping students develop both personally and professionally.
The philosophy is taught with sincerity and depth, encouraging reflection, discussion, and a deeper understanding of yoga beyond the physical practice.
The teachers are approachable, patient, and always willing to answer questions, creating a supportive atmosphere where everyone feels encouraged to learn at their own pace.
They offer many locations to learn in truly stunning settings. The entire experience is both grounding and transformative. If you're looking for an authentic yoga school with experienced teachers who truly embody what they teach, Middle Path Movement is a wonderful choice.

I am currently taking the YTT 200 hour course at Lior Wellness Studio and I cannot recommend it enough! I am half way through the course now (Jan-Dec part time course) and so far has been life changing. Learning and growing as a group, supporting each other whilst having the continued support of all of the wonderful, lovely teachers is magical. Every teacher is different in their own way, teaching us vital knowledge from different perspectives and life experiences. All of the teachers are kind, understanding, knowledgeable and supportive. Every weekend we are in the studio is beneficial, fun and so interesting. In-between weekends there is continued learning, homework and communication, it isn’t just the weekends you are physically at the studio. Doing this course is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, if you are still deciding whether to go with Middle Path Movement I advise you to gift yourself this life changing experience. It changes your daily practice and genuinely changes your life for the better. I am so grateful I chose to go with Middle Path Movement at Lior Wellness Studio as I am deepening my own personal practice as well as becoming a certified yoga teacher. Thank you all! ❤️

Choosing the teacher training at Middle Path Movement completely changed my life. I came in looking to deepen my practice, but I left with a profound personal transformation and a deep understanding of yoga philosophy. Middle Path Movement creates a safe, supportive space for every student. I would recommend this program again and again to anyone looking to transform their practice.

If you’re thinking about booking on to a MPM teacher training, I highly recommend you do so 🙏✨🦋
The Middle Path Movement trainings offer the full spectrum experience with exceptionally strong and highly knowledgeable teachers who put their heart and soul into their work and genuinely care about each and every students experience, a programme that has been carefully curated to ensure that you walk away with solid foundations and the confidence to go on and teach after you finish the course (if you wish to do so), and the most beautiful locations that support you on a soul level.
Jess’s passion, dedication and devotion to building this school is really felt on the trainings and I’m immensely grateful to have had Jess as a teacher and mentor throughout my Yoga journey.
If you’re looking for a school that really does walk the Middle Path, this is the one for you 🤍

I recently completed Middle Path Movement's 200h YTTC in Ahangama, Sri Lanka (April/May 2026). The location itself was beautiful, the overall experience was well organised, and the teachers clearly had significant knowledge. However, I left the training feeling a bit more mixed than the current reviews reflect.
One of the challenges was the teaching methodology, particularly in the more theoretical parts of the course, such as philosophy and yoga styles. At times, concepts felt unclear or poorly structured, and it took quite a long time for the group to develop a basic understanding of some quite fundamental concepts (e.g. the differences between yoga styles), despite repeated questions and requests for clarification. While the theoretical aspects of yoga are naturally vast, and developing a deeper understanding is part of a lifelong journey, the issue was not the complexity of the subject itself. Rather, it was that we were at times presented with contradictory information and received unclear or inconsistent answers to questions.
Further, feedback towards some students also felt unnecessarily harsh and was delivered publicly in front of the group. This became a talking point outside of class and seemed to create hesitation around asking questions or participating openly. While the teachers clearly made efforts to create a safe learning environment, experiences like this nonetheless influenced the overall atmosphere of the training.
On a final note, and while I understand the difficulty of teaching students with very different levels of experience, I personally expected more depth and progression from a 200h YTTC. The programme was very intensive (as expected), but a large part of the three weeks focused on what I would consider quite fundamental material (e.g sun salutations). Given the small group size (12–13 students), I had also hoped for more individual guidance and feedback throughout the training. These elements may well be intentional and suitable for many students, but I think they are worth mentioning in terms of managing expectations.
Overall, there were many positive aspects to the experience. I personally learned a lot from both the teachers and the other students. However, as I spent a lot of time researching YTTCs myself, I would have appreciated a more balanced and realistic picture tbeforehand. For the future, I also believe MPM would benefit from introducing a structured feedback process at the end of each training, giving students the opportunity to share honest and constructive feedback directly with the owners, teachers, and organisers.

I recently completed my 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training through Middle Path Movement and Tula Balance with Jess, Dee, and many other incredible teachers guiding me throughout the journey.
I will be forever grateful that I chose Middle Path Movement and Tula. From the very beginning, they supported me, believed in me, showing endless patience, and encouraging me whenever I needed it most. Their guidance helped me build confidence in myself and grow in ways I never expected.
I’ve walked away from this experience feeling deeply inspired and incredibly grateful. The knowledge, support, and community created by Jess, Dee, and all teachers made this training so special.
I have met the most amazing people along the way, and was so lucky to be surrounded by such a wonderful group of people that I was learning alongside, who again made my experience so amazing.
Thank you so much, Jess and Dee, for creating an experience I will never forget. You are both such an inspiration, and I am so thankful to have been part of this journey. This will always be one of my favourite experiences, and I will always carry what I've learned onwards. Thank you always! ✨🤍🦋xxx

Just completed my 200 hour YTT with Middle Path Movement. We started in February in London and finished up in Italy for a week. It was a great experience for me, I definitely learned a lot, all the teachers were amazing but would like to thank Dee and Jessica for all their time and support from beginning to end and also for the continued support that they have offered. Everyone on the training were supportive and I have definitely come away with new friends. To anyone thinking about doing this training with Middle Path Movement, I say just do it. You won’t regret it.
Thank you to Tula Balance for their beautiful studio and all their wonderful teachers. Namaste 🙏

I completed my Yoga Teacher Training with Middle Path Movement in Sri Lanka, and it was honestly one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences I have had.
The training was much more than just learning yoga poses. It was a deep journey into yoga philosophy, anatomy, sequencing, breathwork, meditation, self-reflection, and authentic teaching. The teachers created a space that felt professional, safe, supportive, and deeply human at the same time.
What I appreciated most was the balance between structure and personal growth. The course gave me clear tools to become a better teacher, but it also challenged me to look deeper into myself, my patterns, my communication, and my presence. I felt guided, seen, and supported throughout the whole process.
The teaching style was clear, grounded, and honest. Every practice, lecture, discussion, and feedback session had real value. I especially loved how much attention was given to safe alignment, intelligent sequencing, mindful cueing, and teaching from an authentic place instead of simply copying a fixed formula.
I also felt extremely comfortable at Nirbana Retreat. The accommodation was a wonderful place to relax and recharge, everything was super clean, high-quality, and thoughtfully arranged. The service was first class, and the food was honestly indescribably good. This made the whole experience feel complete and rounded everything off in such a beautiful way.
Middle Path Movement is not just a yoga school. It is a place where you can grow as a student, as a teacher, and as a person. I leave this training with more knowledge, more confidence, more awareness, and a much deeper connection to yoga.
I am truly grateful for this experience and would highly recommend Middle Path Movement to anyone who wants to study yoga in a serious, heart-centered, and transformative way.

Middle Path Movement was such an incredible experience. It challenged me in all the best ways and ended up being more rewarding than I ever expected. I came in hoping to feel more grounded, deepen my spiritual connection, and refine my yoga practice and alignment but I’m leaving with so much more. This training gave me a new level of confidence and truly opened my mind to the possibility of teaching. I attended the Sri Lanka location and it was truly a dream. A beautiful venue, world class food, terrific hospitality. I mean it doesn’t get better.
If you’re considering yoga teacher training, this is absolutely the place to do it.

I recently completed the 15-hour Advanced Assists and Adjustments Training with Jessica from Middle Path Movement and Dee from Tula Balance, and I learnt so much from both of them. They are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and down-to-earth in their teaching style, which made the whole experience feel accessible and real.
I absolutely loved this course and soaked up every bit of knowledge. I’ve attended similar trainings before, but the combination of yoga assists in the morning and Thai massage in the afternoon made this one stand out, it felt like the perfect balance.
Often, courses like this can feel overwhelming, with so much information that you leave unsure where to start. This training was different. It was thoughtfully paced, with just the right amount of content, so I left feeling confident, empowered, and genuinely able to put what I’d learned into practice straight away.
I enjoyed it so much that I’ve already signed up for their 300-hour Advanced Teacher Training, which says it all! 🙂

I recently completed my Assist and Adjust with Thai Massage course at Tula with Middle Path Movement 15hrs and loved the entire weekend. Jess and Dee are professional and highly skilled in what they do. The Thai massage has been a brilliant addition to my yoga classes and I can see such benefit in having further knowledge about safely guiding people with their bodies. Would highly recommend.

What a wonderful experience it was to be on the yoga retreat in voassis valley, Thailand with dee,Anita & jess. The whole experience from start to finish was magical. All 3 teachers were amazing, offering lots of wonderful yoga, hands on experience & helping us all to feel comfortable and encouraged us during this retreat. I learnt so much from this retreat & felt so grateful to continue everything I learnt into my practice once home. I would thoroughly recommend going on another retreat in the future.

At the end of this year I completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training course ran by Middle Path Movement & Tula Balance. I had wanted to do the training for years & their Hybrid programme which was split between 6 weekends in the UK & 2 weeks in Goa was ideal. Anyone considering embarking on teacher training & not sure who to do it with I can confidently recommend a hybrid teacher training course with Middle Path & Tula.

My boyfriend and I attended a retreat with Middle Path Movement, and it was absolutely breathtaking. From the very beginning, the experience felt genuine, grounding, and deeply nourishing.
Jessica is incredibly authentic and real. She doesn’t try to indoctrinate or impose any beliefs but instead, she gently guides you toward understanding yourself more deeply. She creates a space where you can reconnect with your true self in a way that feels natural and empowering. Her presence is grounded, honest, and compassionate.
The group dynamic was just as special. Everyone who participated was open and real. There was never a moment of feeling strange or out of place. You could talk about anything freely, be yourself completely, and feel fully accepted.
The different classes we experienced were healthy, inspiring, and thoughtfully guided. After feeling completely burned out from work, this retreat truly helped me reconnect and recharge in a meaningful way.
I wholeheartedly recommend Middle Path Movement to anyone who wants to feel more grounded, inspired, and connected to themselves. 💙🤍🕊️🙏

This half day retreat was wonderful (and much needed). I would totally recommend to all. After a special yoga session, the sauna was an added bonus. The tea and delicious food went down beautifully and the sound bath was i can only describe as amazing. I came away feeling totally refreshed and relaxed. I cannot wait for the next one!

I attended a half day retreat which was located at Lior, by the Sea in St.Leonards, and it was such a beautiful experience. The teachers Jessica and Gabriella were very friendly, talented and held a beautiful space for us all.
It was a lovely day filled with movement, connection, breath, meditation, saunas and sound baths, and I left the space floating and feeling amazing, and I got treated to amazing goody bags from wonderful, conscious businesses.
I would highly recommend attending the retreats!
Thankyouu! And I hope to come again!

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

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

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! 🙏☺️

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.

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!

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!

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!
