James French

James was born in London and first discovered yoga in 2003. However, he truly caught the yoga-bug a few years later, during sunrise practices overlooking the rooftops of Udaipur with an old yogi named Prakash. Following a martial-arts incurred neck injury, he was told that surgery was the only option. However he resisted and experienced an amazing recovery through his Yoga practice. He soon returned to India to train and embark on his path as a Yoga Teacher. James French E-RYT has taught over 40 Teacher Trainings, and lives most of the year in Thailand, where he spends his time studying, teaching and running his school pathofyoga.com. He is well-known for his intelligent sequencing, creativity, good humour and inspirational method of bringing together Traditional Hatha with a holistic, science-based approach to Vinyasa.​​ His greatest passion is to teach teachers, helping them to evolve their skills find their own authentic voice, whilst recognizing that we are all students and that every day is a school day! So he commits at least a quarter of each year to further study or working on himself. His major influences are Yogrishi Vishvketu, Max Strom, Jason Crandell, Clive Sheridan, Anodea Judith and his Guru, Sri Prem Baba.​ He has taught all over the world, but loves to return to Europe once a year, where he teaches Workshops and Courses at some of his favourite studios.
