Yoga is for Everyone, but this Program is Not…
This program requires dedication of body, mind, and energy for not only the 200 hours of training, but the time for additional assignments, self practice, and reflection that is required for a meaningful experience. You will have plenty of support along the way, but the commitment is on you.

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR GRADUATES
My yoga teacher training experience has been truly transformative. Over the past months, I’ve deepened my understanding of yoga, not just as a physical practice but as a holistic lifestyle. The training was rich, diverse, playful, fun, poetic and super interesting. Soo is an amazing and generous teacher who has so much knowledge to share. Everything was taught openly, genuinely and completely from her heart. All other instructors (Sonja, Kim, Kaitlin) were not only knowledgeable and skilled but also incredibly supportive and inspiring.
You always feel like you are in safe hands with Soo and her team. I am deeply grateful for having this great experience in Abundant Path School. Thank you.

Abundant Path School of Yoga has changed my life for the better. I always thought about going through the 200 hour training, but ONLY wanted to do it with Soo Yoon. Her knowledge & understanding of yoga from every aspect gives her students the right tools to learn from. Along with her fellow AP trainers, she has crafted a beautiful curriculum to give you an amazing foundation to deepen your practice & be able to share & teach this knowledge to others. You will learn the beginning of yoga’s long history, along with all the important physical & spiritual aspects of yoga. This training will leave you feeling confident & ready to continue to spread the joy & positivity that yoga can bring!

The Abundant Path School of Yoga should be recognized as the beacon of hope for yoga education that it is. While finding balance of maintaining yogic tradition and modern day practice, Soo was able to pull together students from different walks of life, of different backgrounds, ages, and styles, and create well rounded, well educated, and well prepared yoga teachers. I feel prepared on a level I hadn’t expected. The entire program from the trainers to the format of content is so well thought out and perfect. People should pay attention, because this is what a yoga school should look like.

Going into this training I was skeptical, I loved yoga but wasn’t sure teaching was really for me but after completing my 200 YTT my mind completely changed. My Abundant Path experience was truly transformative. It brought me so much knowledge, it deepened my practice and it changed the way I look at the world and most importantly, it brought me closer to myself. I am grateful beyond words to the amazing teachers, their expertise and their passion for teaching. This journey inspired me so much. I’m excited to spread my love of yoga to the world.

Abundant Path’s 200-hour Teacher Training with Soo and the program teachers has been a fantastic experience. There has been such a wealth of knowledge shared with great structure. I learned more about Yoga than I could have imagined and just as much about myself. I am very grateful to Soo and all the teachers for their excellent guidance, dedication, and support throughout this journey!
Rose Z.
I feel very well prepared and knowledgeable in yoga asana, history and philosophy. Soo’s passion is infectious and heartfelt. All of the trainers brought their own unique perspective and were incredibly supportive. This is a beautiful beginning to my personal journey of sharing yoga with the world.
