Our Journey

"During my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in Peru I had the privilege of being Lacey & Darin's student. Lacey lead the yoga teacher training & Darin taught Anatomy, Qi Gong and shared his musical gifts during group circles. While these were enriching experiences,  the most profound lessons I learned from Lacey & Darin were those taught off the mat. Lacey & Darin are testaments to the the positive effects that yoga can have on one's life. This was revealed to me in our interactions during the training, and by observing how they interact with their environment. I wholeheartedly recommend someone looking to enrich their yogi skills to participate in a retreat and/or teacher training with this dream team".

"I can't say enough about my YTT, I know that I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I expected to learn about and how to teach yoga. I did not expect the self awakening and healing or the intimate bond formed between the group and nature. I found a true sense of love within myself and in the world. My three weeks of YTT were exceptional and profound."

"My YTT was everything I could have dreamed of and so much more... It has transformed not only my life, but the way I view myself and all of creation.  Through this journey I have tapped into who I truly am, and always was- It has enabled me to heal, walk through fear and trust that there are much larger forces at play here- guiding me on my path, showing me my purpose in this life.  It is now my mission to help guide others on their path of self-realizations and healing... I cannot say enough about this experience except- buckle up!  You are in for the ride of your life ;)"

"My yoga retreat to Peru was amazing, life changing & one to certainly remember. I am so thankful that I had Darin and Lacey as my guides as I discovered: shamanic healing traditions & ceremonies, practiced yoga, meditation & immersed myself in Peruvian culture. The retreat center felt like our little haven. It was clean, welcoming & provided the perfect home base during the retreat. The retreat had a beautiful balance of personal time and group time, time in nature & time in town. I highly recommend Darin & Lacey's shamanic yoga retreat to anyone interested in learning more about yoga, cultivating their own inner light, discovering medicinal plant ceremonies in Peru or just in general, want an authentic immersion into the country and its traditions. Thank you, Darin & Lacey for being simply wonderful guides along the journey!"

"Our days started early with meditation in the open-air shala, with the sun rising over the lake and the volcanoes, followed by body-warming yoga. The yoga we would practice in the mornings was the yoga sequence that we would break down pose by pose later in the day, as we would prepare ourselves to teach the sequence and the poses. Following my experience, I feel prepared to confidently teach a class.”

“The fire circles at the start of our training immediately showed me that this school stood for more than just becoming a yoga teacher. I could feel the sacredness of this school and land when we started by creating a Talisman to burn, shedding our unwanted layers. We called to the winds of the North, South, East, West, Father Sky & Mother Earth to hear. The compassion and comfort of our teachers allowed us to all evolve in the ways that we naturally desired. I am so grateful to have met such inspiring friends and healers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart....Jai!”

"My 200hr Yoga TTC was a truly transformative experience for me. Never before have I had a structured chance to dive so deeply into self-reflection and spiritual lessons. I loved how the course was designed to accommodate various skill levels, practitioners, and paths."

"Lacey is an amazing guide, i completed my 200hr YTT with her in Peru and her knowledge and passion for yoga inspired me. She is very grounded, peaceful and connected to Mother Earth and my experience was truly unforgettable."

" I was on a path of self growth and acceptance and the YTT I did helped a lot in that journey. Part of the reason I went was also to establish a habit of Yoga training. All my expectations were met, I mean 'expectations' of which I have less and less of these days, but certainly I grew and did that in a loving environment. I made many friends and experienced Ayahuasca and Wachuma which was very enlightening and adventurous. Darin is a cool guy and Megan was exceptionally dedicated and knowledgeable. I end up teaching a little in a hostel at Huanchaco beach and that actually earned me enough money to pay for my stay. What I wanted to achieve is more confidence and dedication in my own Yoga a deepening of my own practice and that happened. A teacher where I am now wants me to work with her and teach more Yoga. I love talking about Yoga, meditation and connection with Self. This was a very valuable experience that goes beyond monetary value, so in that it's totally worth it, cash wise. Much love to one and all."

"Working with Darin and Lacey is a special treat! They employed me at their healing dome at Wanderlust Tahoe in 2014, and from day one I felt held and thoroughly guided through my experience. Taking their yoga class is equally enjoyable. Their warm hearts, sparkling souls and contagious smiles create a beautiful and sacred healing space in which to surrender to my Self. I highly recommend any time that you can spend with these two. It will nourish your soul deeply."

"Lacey is a compassionate soul that exudes love and kindness. I did my 200-hour teacher training with her in Peru and I left feeling inspired to role model Lacey and how she conducts herself in the world. I feel grateful to have her as a mentor and friend. She teaches the essence of yoga and practices the philosophy of yoga daily. Anybody is in extremely caring hands when training with Lacey and I am so proud of her for creating her own program with her partner and collaborator, Darin."

“I was called to Costa Rica to couple my advancement with a deep spiritual cleanse and ran with it, only to find one of the best experiences I could have imagined -- far exceeding any expectation I set and more deeply purifying than I initially recognized I needed.”

“Transformative, ceremonial, empowering, playful, genuine heart connection. Felt so vital, strong, wise and IN THE BHAV after my training!”

"I could have not asked for better to start this journey. Darin and Lacey are the kindest most patient and loving teachers I have met. They chose a very beautiful and mystical location for the training which makes it all the more special. I personally wasn't doing this course with the intention to teach straight away but more so to deepen my spiritual practices, feel more comfortable with creating my own ceremonies, to make yoga a lifestyle and stay on this path with devotion and conviction. I feel I received and learned exactly what I went looking for, plus I feel like I could happily teach a class now which is not something I ever felt comfortable with. I loved every minute of this experience, even the ones that were emotionally challenging. I would highly recommend it. I intend to keep taking courses and furthering my knowledge with Scared Paths no doubt. ~ Ahó"

I have so much gratitude for having found sacred paths and the experience that was offered. As I reflect on the journey I am especially grateful for the variety of approaches and content that we learned. Connecting to the elements and the natural world around was healing and enlightening. It was obviously very intentionally planned out. The instruction was very high quality. It was truly a life changing experience.

"The 200hr training was a step towards my health and I can feel new pathways opening up in my system. There is space and expansion in places that I havn't felt for a while and this is just one of the gifts that I have received. It was a journey of movement, laughter and ritual and the beauty of it was the on-going knowlege that rained on us - colourful, rich and full of Life. That's Sacred Paths Yoga."

My Sacred Paths Yoga experience was amazing! Darin a Lacey are both very present in their bodies and helped me get deeper within my own body and find more presence. They hold great space for healing and they were always available for questions or concerns. I give my highest recommendations to these beautiful souls and I am grateful to have shared and learned from them in the beautiful country of Guatemala.

Sacred Paths is an incredible institution! Their 200-RYT was transformation, well-structured, and inclusive. I felt like I learned more from Darin and Lacey in 3 weeks than I had in all of the previous years of personal practice and attending classes. They have artfully drawn from a variety of cultures and disciplines in a way that allows students to take what serves them and begin to formulate their own model of what it means to live a yogic life. Beyond learning, this was a well-facilitated opportunity to unplug in a beautiful place and reconnect with yourself and those around you. Kudos to this team!

I have heard it said before: Yoga Teacher Training Changes your life. But how can 21 days change your whole outlook I asked? After my 200 hours YTT this is my answer: The SPY facilitators created a sacred and safe environment for us to learn and grow from curious students into confident, radiating teachers. They held a space where we could realize, face and release our fears and self made problems. We were guided towards identifying with our passion and manifesting it. I am so grateful that I decided to sign up with Sacred Path Yoga. Not only did I become a yoga teacher, I also found a spiritual family and found my passion and the strength to follow my path.

Wow! What a journey, and memorable experience, I had at the Sacred Paths yoga and plant ceremony retreat in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Peru is a magical place, and this retreat provided a nurturing space which supported my own magical personal transformation. My connection with our Mother Earth has grown deeper since the profound plant ceremonies, which  occurred amongst the most awe-inspiring mountains. I really enjoyed all of my fellow participants, the facilitators (Lacey & Darin), and of course, the very special local shamanic guides. I feel renewed by a sense of love and overwhelming gratitude.

I met Darin and Lacey through my 200 YTT in Bali, the place where it all began. I learned of the yearly retreats they held in Peru and made the best decision of my life and took the leap to go to this beautiful sacred place called Sacred Valley. Words cannot even explain how magical the week was, it was such a beautiful space for people to come together, met some amazing beautiful kind souls, we shared so may lovely memories, we also had perfect time to self- reflect, every second was just so special, even the food was amazing!!! We had the option to work with the plants, and wow what a transformational journey that was! The plant ceremonies were held with so much care and attention which makes such a huge difference on the experience. Through this I was able to find and love who I truly am, leaving behind any fears filling me with light, love and compassion. So much healing and realizations are made in this special time that I am so grateful for. If you are reading this it is for a reason, trust the process of life and take the leap, only good things will come…. Darin and Lacey I have so much  gratitude in my heart for you, if it wasn’t for your passion, help, love, nourishment and holding space for others I would never have experienced this beautiful transformation. Thank You!!

My name is Sian, I studied with Lacy and Darin / Sacred Paths Yoga at the start of 2018. I can honestly say it was the most incredible, transformational experience of my life. Darin and Lacey are beautiful guides, I feel I’ve made life long friends in themselves and my class peers. Since coming home I feel like a renewed, better version of my old self. We learnt so much on so many different levels during the course. I cannot recommend these beautiful souls enough and words don’t express how amazing the experience was. I look forward to studying my 300hrs with Darin and Lacey. Love and light, always, Sian x

I was guided through my 200hr YTT by two inspirational women, Lacey and Sri. They brought a wealth of knowledge and experience of yoga, as well as shamanic practices, and worked in perfect harmony together. Their transformational teaching and leadership style allowed me to learn from my experiences and grow through what I go through. I met a tribe of kindred spirits from all walks of life and connected more deeply with my true self. Lacey and Sri were genuinely interested in each individual and nurtured self-love and compassion within every student which will have a ripple effect on our communities and beyond!

This has been a life changing, life giving, heart opening yoga journey experience. Lacey and Sri are both so inspiring and have put their resources, heart and soul into us and I am forever grateful for this experience. I am officially a yoga teacher but I have also learned so much more!

How difficult it is to find words to describe my experience with Sacred Paths Yoga. I was fortunate to attend the 200hr YTT in Bali with Lacey, Srimati & Darin. As a lover of yoga & Nurse Practitioner, I felt that there was "more" out there other than going to yoga before or after work, working with sick people all day & repeating over & over again. Beyond exhausting, physically, spiritually & emotionally. The balance just wasn't there & my life was not sustainable. Change was necessary before complete burnout set in. I decided to leave my high paying, 60 hour a week job, kiss my husband & 2 year old goodbye for 4 weeks and set out on an experience of a lifetime. Life changing. While at training, I was able to gain the tools, emotionally & spiritually, to move on to the next step in my life, opening a yoga studio, bringing yoga to more people, allowing people a space of love & light & help them balance the stresses we battle every single day. I had such a wonderful experience, I am sending the manager of my soon to open studio, CaliFlo Yoga Collective, to teacher training in Bali and our lovable assistant and soon to be yoga instructor to Guatemala though Sacred Paths Yoga so we can be aligned in practice & our understanding of yoga, while running a business together. Lacey & Darin have created a truly unique experience in the most beautiful places on our Earth. Anyone who is able to attend a Sacred Paths course shouldn't second guess, DO IT, you will not regret your decision.

I am still finding it hard to find the right words to describe the experiences Sacred Paths Yoga gave us all in the Intensive Immersive Training. We covered everything from the basics of becoming a yoga practitioner to establishing a presence as an awakened yogi/yogini, holding space as the leader, philosophy, and history of yoga, with some special guests that covered a lot of the depth the masculine energy needed to give to the curriculum. The asana practice and classes were very well choreographed, designed for all levels of practice and teachings. Sacred Paths held extra activities that I was hoping for but never dreamed I would be apart of. With constant ceremonies, rituals and earth elements were weaved into our daily schedule. A lot shifted for me personally, and I cannot thank these two fearless leaders enough for holding this sacred space for us all the grow and expand our wings to fly. Our group was the most perfect potion for each and every one of us.

I cannot recommend Sacred Paths enough. The program and the way in which it was facilitated was so perfect. Lacey and Sri are so knowledgeable and truly embody the syllabus. I felt nurtured and cared for, while at the same time having enough freedom to find my own feet during the training.

During this 200 RYS I found myself in so many different parts and levels in life. It was not only studing of yoga in his holistic way, I also got in touch with a deeper version of myself. This three weeks were definitely intense, but I don´t want to miss a thing and Sri really looked for our needs and I could see the love and the passion how everything was created, organised and teached. And also the surrounding, the food, the accomodation gave me more than I expected to let me fall in this life changing flow. I really enjoyed it and would definitley do it again.

Traveling to a new country to immerse yourself in yoga in addition to another culture is not for everyone. However, if you're willing to take a leap of faith and get completely out of your comfort zone Sacred Path Yoga offers a gentle landing spot. My time with SPY can only be summed up as life changing and magical. The instructors offer professional and personal guidance for their students and help build confidence in their practice. I am eternally grateful having crossed paths with not only this school but my fellow classmates. We all shared a lifelong bond and I am blessed to have learned the fundamentals of yoga through the guidance of Sacred Path Yoga. Namaste 🙂

Being my first Yoga Teacher Training, I couldn't have asked for a better experience at this point in my life. It has been everything I've asked for over the years and so much more than what I've asked for or thought I needed. There were so many amazing moments, so much love, growth and surprises that I feel so blessed to have received. It was the perfect balance of traditional yogic philosophy and asana practice, practical application, spirituality, atmosphere, healthful awareness, magic and personal discovery that lead to advancements in my own practice along with other areas of my life. Through this training I found the confidence to let my truth shine through my teachings as I lead one-on-one flows and meditations. I felt so blessed to be right where I was supposed to be, surrounded by a family who accepted and honored the truth of who I am, along with the teachings that hit so close to home reminding me of who I am and the mission of helping the collective grow through love, yoga and authentic connection to self and spirit that I came here to do. I took home with me clearer direction, a sense of honor and a new depth of practice that is truly priceless plus all the love, knowledge and encouragement of the whole group I learned with at that time. Again, couldn't have asked for anything better and I feel truly blessed and very honored to bring the knowledge, awareness and connection of traditional yogic practices to everyone I work with now.

Having been granted an opportunity of a life time by Sacred Paths was incredible and I am forever grateful. Walking away from my 200HR YTT experience in Bali was the ultimate bucket list cross off. I highly recommend Sacred Paths to anyone looking to enhance or even begin their yoga journey

The Sacred Paths Yoga 200hr YTT is well structured to provide a basic understanding of a wide scope of yoga and meditation with a unique emphasis on self discovery and application. The Sacred Paths Yoga 200hr YTT training in 21 days is a rigorous program, with a structure that can prepare students to be able to teach and/or deepen their practice immediately after completing the program. Some of the best parts of my training were instructors Hana Pepin and Adrianna Peters, and the beautiful setting of Costa Rica.

This training was undoubtedly one of the best experiences I have ever had. Although it was mentally and physically challenging at times, I learned and grew so much from it. Darin and Lacey are incredible instructors and mentors and I would highly highly recommend Sacred Paths Yoga to anybody looking to further their practice.

This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. For once, I am almost at loss for words! The dedication to the teachings, both detailed and thorough, is something I resonated with and admired throughout the 21 days of the program. It was intensive, yet not overwhelming--the perfect balance when approaching the mass amount of information one does receive in the 200 YTT program in general. I also felt not only I received an educational background in yoga, sequences, practice, philosophy, Ayurveda, anatomy, and more, I also was encouraged to apply the educational factors in a mix with my own personality, therefore incorporating a truly unique practice that I could call my own. That was how I felt by the end of this transformational time in my life, especially while I held my graduation certificate in my hand. Sacred Paths Yoga allowed me to be confident in my ability to teach and share the knowledge I had learned with my home and potentially the rest of the world, while still maintaining my own uniqueness to the life-changing practice that is yoga. Gracias. Gracias por todo! 

Sacred Paths Yoga YTT was everything i had hoped for and more - the whole course was so well thought out and orchestrated.  My Sacred Paths teacher-training was more than I ever expected - this experience has opened me up to so many different opportunities, like-minded people and mindset-shifts/transformations that I couldn't have dreamed of before beginning. The training has taught me to greet life with more curiosity, compassion, and optimism. Both Darin and Lacey were outstanding teachers and I can’t wait to do another one with them in the future and would recommend this course to anyone and everyone!

I came to learn more about yoga. Through this training we were introduced to so many aspects, thoughts and ideas within yoga. We grew, experienced and opened ourselves up through this journey. I never dreamed so much was possible in just a few short weeks. It is an intense course, long days, but a beautiful journey and experience.

Best experience ever. Not only did I learn how to be a yoga teacher but also how to be myself. Well balanced training with spiritual moments and elements related « events » such as fire or water blessing. Srimati and Sam are very kind, wise and loving teachers. I could not think of a better YTT.

Lacey and Darin cultivate an inspiring, safe space for deep personal exploration and transformation to occur. Their welcoming, friendly, compassionate approach and true embodiment of the yogic lifestyle is inspiring, uplifting, educational, and comes through in every thing they do. The Sacred Paths 200 hour yoga teacher training is challenging and also rewarding beyond measure. For anyone looking to deepen their own yoga practice, develop the skills, experience, and knowledge to share their yoga love through teaching I would highly recommend Sacred Paths.

I am so grateful I choose Sacred Paths Yoga for my Teacher Training. Darin and Lacey are amazing Teachers and the materials they provided were thorough and easy to follow. I learned so much more than the physical asanas of yoga. I am forever changed after this training and excited to lead a yogic lifestyle and to share what I’ve learned. It’s amazing to know that, one by one, we can make the world a better place.

Sacred Paths Yoga School really exceeded my expectations and left with me so much more than I ever expected! Not only did I gain a better understanding of yoga and its philosophies, but I also expanded a part of my spirituality and mind I didn't even know I needed to or could. Sacred Paths is an all encompassing school when it comes to yoga teacher trainings. The cacao, sacred dance and manifestation ceremonies, followed by chants, sharing circles and other activities, really allowed us to become closer as a group of students and teachers, and for me personally opened up an entire different realm of possibilities. I now not only desire to be the best yoga teacher I can possibly be, but I also want to one day lead these types of ceremonies myself. And this is something that wasn't even on my radar before this training! A few weeks after my training ended I was already leading classes at a studio in my hometown, and feeling more than confident and ready to do so. I would recommend this training to anyone searching for yoga and spiritual knowledge! Lacey and Darin, thank you so much for the most life changing experience I have ever had. You are sharing such a beautiful gift with the world and I hope to take many more trainings and workshops with you two!

Sacred Paths Yoga facilitates a space for personal & professional growth. I have now participated in both their 200hr YTT & 300hr AYTT programs & wow, what incredible experiences. Not only the depth gained in my own personal practice, but my confidence & capability to teach & lead others in all aspects of the yogic world is especially due to my guidance received by Sacred Paths Yoga.

This advanced yoga teacher training became more to me than just your typical training. It became a tight-knit community to which I felt like I was home. It became the place to where I could explore my current understanding of yoga and dig deeper; it became the place where I could let go of all the stories that held me back; it was the place where I felt completely supported to come more in sync with my truest self. I really enjoyed the more technical classes that were taught about Ayurveda, alignments, and adjustments. I feel this added so much knowledge to my own personal practice as well as more insight into how to help all of my future students. What I loved the most was the various spiritual avenues that were integrated into our daily routine. Just some of the things we did were chanting, kirtan, ceremonies, chakra and element studies, chi gong, and Reiki. I really valued the time that was taken to explore these topics and the care that was brought in by all of the facilitators to give us an enriching experience. I feel confident on offering what I've learnt to my students and I feel inspired to continue studying more. Overall, all of the facilitators, Darin, Lacey, and Sri  had so much knowledge to offer, they were 100% focused on the individual and group needs, they were very open and honest, and you can tell they are super passionate about what they are doing which always makes learning easier and more fun. To top all of that off, Indigo resort was very beautiful in a tranquil area and every single day we had fantastic meals made by the staff. All of the Indigo staff was also very accommodating to everyone's needs making it a fantastic accommodation.

I had the most incredible and inspirational journey with Sacred Paths. The detail and endless knowledge that our two facilitators had was mind blowing and I learnt so much in such a short space of time. It has given me a new mindset to my life and how I want to use yoga to not only help create inner peace within myself, but with others as well. This experience has been seriously life changing and it's only the beginning! I cannot wait to put all this into practice, start teaching and sharing my truth. Thank you so much for this opportunity and I cannot recommend Sacred Paths enough! Namaste 🙂

My journey with Sacred Paths Yoga was the most incredible experience, emotionally and physically it changed me and that's a wonderful and powerful thing! I am very grateful for my time with them everything they taught me. 

I completed the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Sacred Paths lead by Srimati Hughes and Lindsay Foreman this October in Bali, Indonesia. It was truly a life changing experience that I am very grateful for, it transformed me physically as well as mentally and smoothed the way for my Yoga journey. Thank you very much Sacred Paths!

I had the most informative, magical, beautiful, fun, and joyful experience in Bali. Sri and Lindsay were incredible facilitators, guides, sages, goddess warriors, and now friends. I cannot even put into words how much this whole experience changed my life for the better and I am beyond grateful for you all.

My YTT with Sacred Paths Yoga was everything and so much more than I could have ever asked for. I felt save to be as vulnerable as I could to feel the most magical transformation. I've learned so many more aspects about myself and Yoga. Sri and Lindsay are the kindest most patient and loving teachers - and their wisdom is beyond words! I could deepen my spiritual practice and found even more myself in this very unique path of life. I feel like I was learning and receiving what I was looking for to feel encouraged to bring this wisdom out into the world. I would always come back to Sacred Paths to deepen my knowledge and to keep growing. This YTT is so sacred and special - I can highly recommend to choose those loving people for the experience of becoming a Yoga Teacher.

My 200hr course in Bali was an intense but amazing experience. I have learnt a lot about myself and about yoga. I loved the different cycles through the elements and the ceremonies as well. I really want to start teaching now in Switzerland. Thank you Sacred Paths Yoga for this wonderful and unforgettable journey! A special thanks to Lindsay and Srimati! You were amazing teachers and coaches during these three weeks!! 🙂

Sacred Paths Yoga not only taught me how to embody the beautiful practice of yoga, but also taught me life changing habits that I cultivate daily. The few weeks I spent in Bali changed the way I will live the rest of my life. My mind, body and spirit went through a huge transition and I am forever grateful. I am forever grateful for the experience I had in Bali with Sacred Paths Yoga. In just a few weeks, you truly feel yourself blossom into the highest version of yourself; full of light, full of peace. Learning to embody the beautiful art of yoga while being surrounded by calm serenity makes for a very spiritual transformation. Thank you!

This was an extremely comprehensive and well organized training. It was life changing for me and restored my confidence as a yoga teacher.

will forever be grateful to Sacred Paths & their teachers Lindsay  & Adrianna. I not only learnt the art of teaching yoga in such an amazing way, but also found my true self & brought back my spark! The training was incredible; well planned, organised, delivered to a high standard, and most of all nothing was ever too much to ask of the teachers when needing their help. All round an amazing experience.

How do you put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) to describe the feeling of having your soul blissfully cracked open? Of floating into a shala surrounded by geckos and birds and butterflies and the jungle each morning? Of creating lasting bonds with each individual person there who you know has changed your life forever? Of feeling safe and nourished in a warm cocoon of learning and love? Of the inspiration flowing into you from your two selfless and knowledgeable teachers each day? Of feeling the most connected with spirit and nature and self than you ever have? What I can say is that never in my life have I given myself such an amazing gift as this YTT. I searched for so long for a training that seemed right. Spirituality and learning to really LIVE my yoga on and off the mat was incredibly important for me so when I stumbled upon Sacred Paths something in me just knew it was the one. This is not your traditional YTT. You will of course learn so many amazing things about yoga and teaching and feel very confident to pursue it as a career if so you choose to do so. But you will also see yourself in ways you never thought possible. You will grow and cry and love and leave with a stronger sense of self. I watched each person in my training blossom in our three weeks and our lives radically change for the better.

I am beyond grateful of being certified by Sacred Paths. The content of knowledge that we learned and the support that we have from the team was really great so I just want to say a big thank you !

I am so grateful for the beautiful experience sacred paths guided. The connections, the setting, the content, the emotions, all so beautiful and life changing. Thank you!

I absolutely loved the online course, the content, and the instructors. They all have beautiful souls and are passionate about sharing the gift of yoga and it is evident.

Thank you very much to Sacred Paths Yoga, Darin Lehman, Lacey Hickox Lehman and all the wonderful facilitators of the team to enrich my life journey and share your knowledge with just a professionalism, dedication, passion, integrity, honesty and generosity.

Sacred Paths is a wonderful school and I cannot express how much I loved doing my 200hr YTT with them; it was an honor and a joy.

Darin and Lacey and the entire Sacred Paths Yoga team, have created such a beautiful, educational, and spiritually-rooted offering. I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon their school. Their curriculum gives us students an incredible toolset to offer safe, holistic, informed teachings. One rooted in tradition and with a respect for the lineage. My personal practice has broadened and deepened and I'm honored to be able to share the offering from the foundations developed during this 200hr training. Deeply grateful for the experience and look forward to more growth with SPY

Without one single exception - all the classes provided were super interesting, well prepared & professionally taught. All of the teachers have so much knowledge & wisdom & managed to teach a lot more than yoga! I also liked the selection of topics & great anatomy lessons.

The Sacred Paths Yoga 200hr training exceeded my expectations of a virtual online program during COVID-19! Darin, Lacey & other facilitators made this experience extremely engaging through carefully selected materials, topics and discussions. This is just the beginning of my journey as a yoga practitioner but I felt I was given ample support, encouragement & resourceful content to help me grow in the yoga space & community. I would definitely recommend Sacred Paths to anyone looking to get their YTT as it blends spirituality & asana to make it a living breathing practice. Thank you again for this opportunity & cannot wait to meet you both in person, Darin & Lacey!

This Teacher Training that I received from Sacred Paths Yoga, make me stop, turn around and see that was another world alive, the Spiritual World, that I discovered through Yoga. I came to this training to learn more about yoga poses to get physically fit. But I found something more deeper, physical and Spiritual development. Also the combination of videos and live meetings make me to open my eyes and beyond. The videos gave us the information needed. The live meetings brought us (all peers & Teachers) togetherness, be able to express our thoughts, concerns, feelings and our questions to be answered when needed.

Sacred Paths came into my life at a moment when I was feeling lost and had no real path to follow after failing what was my original plan for living but with which I wasn’t completely comfortable. Maybe it was fate, destiny or pure luck, but I ran into an advertisement of Sacred Paths YTT, which I had been wanting to do for quite some time but never seemed to have the resources or time to do it. This online opportunity was heaven sent & I fell into an awesome group of teachers & fellow students who helped me not only deepen my practice of yoga & learn about sequences, communication in a class, history & philosophy, but also reconnect with life & a deeper purpose for me. The scholarship helped me be a part of a group for which I will be forever thankful and created a community that will last far beyond when the course finishes. Thank you Lacey, Darin & the rest of the wonderful family at Sacred Paths Yoga & I will be looking forward to seeing you again in the future for an actual in person experience

The online 200h ytt of Sacred Paths Yoga was one not to forget easily. It was powerful! It took a bunch of energy and I was willing to give it because of all that was shared. An amazing amount of knowledge and materials with respect for all styles and backgrounds of yoga. In this way I was able to choose and become the teacher that I am now. Through the live classes and the space held by the lovely, supporting and respectful teachers, there was still a sense of connection even though it was online. I feel ready to take my next step on this yoga path!

SPY's online yoga teacher training came very serendipitously into my life--I'd always wanted to get certified as a yoga instructor but could never carve out the time to attend one in person. I'm so glad I was able to do this in our virtual world--not only was I able to deepen my yoga practice during quarantine, but I was able to build a beautiful & international community of other yogis! Darin & Lacey & the entire facilitator team did an amazing job translating all the spiritual and practice lessons to a virtual environment, & made us all feel connected. They were all so generous with their time & their feedback, helping us all on our individual % collective journeys.

Amazing, in-depth, high quality training with a diversity of teachers and learnings. I did the training online and was hesitant if it would be enough and work. It takes discipline yet I can wholeheartedly recommend, their support care and guidance as well as teachings are brilliant. Thank you so much SPY Team

Sacred paths yoga training has truly transformed my life and really allowed me to learn fully about the whole experience of yoga. I have had access to fantastic resources, great teachers and mentors as well as the wonderful class content that has had me laughing and crying and feeling so grateful for this journey. Thank you sacred paths, I don't think I could of found any other training program that was more perfect for me than this one, you aren't just teachers, you make everyone feel like one big family, I can't wait to continue my training with you on the next levels up

Beautiful program with amazing high-quality teachers! I so enjoyed the content included on the syllabus! Thank you again for a wonderful experience!

Sacred Paths were an excellent YTT, I learnt so much and felt such a part of the community, even though it was online. I hope to work with them in person one day.

Sacred Paths has taken me on a journey of a lifetime. I enjoyed everything about the course. Thank you to Darin and Lacey and to all the facilitators . They were all so wonderful.

Lacey and Darin are the most kind and generous humans, with a wealth of knowledge between them . I went into my training with a different expectation to what they offered me, and I was so overwhelmed by how wonderful it was, completely not what i expected, and changed me as a human forever. i will forever be grateful to these magnificent humans for everything they gave me and the space they created for me to find my way in yoga, and send me on this beautiful journey

The most incredible experience with the most wonderful course leaders! The best thing I have ever done!

The 40 day program was just what I needed. It was immersive, their teachers were spot on, we studied through the 5 elements and the virtual course was perfect for learning, growing and finding a place within the yoga community. I highly recommend Sacred Paths to everyone. I'm very impressed and pleased with my first experience and I'm teaching everyday since the first week or so in the course, so the enthusiasm has not stopped. I'm on fiya!!!  Just like our element. Love it and so grateful!

All of the facilitators were there every step of the way, daily live classes on Zoom were welcoming and interactive, many new friends made along the journey! Because it was from home I was able to integrate the teachings into my daily life as we progressed through the content. Now that the live portion is complete there is still time to complete the course content at your own pace (for me just the final assessment), and it is very flexible. All of the live classes are recorded and all content is available to access indefinitely so there is the option to work through all the content again if desired. It was overall a fantastic experience and highly recommend!

The owners are beautifully committed to Yoga and it’s teachings, as well as to helping new Yogis to feel like they CAN do it! Darin & Lacey, and their staff welcomed us like family and I felt that even virtually.

I highly recommend this Yoga school, they are super helpful and provide a well rounded study on Yoga.

I loved Sacred Paths, especially the amount of time given to complete the SPY course. I felt no pressure at all. I would recommend this course to anyone still working full time, as it complemented my existing schedule! Loved the anatomy instructor Colynn (:

Sacred Paths Yoga provided me with the teachings, tools and knowledge to expand my own yoga practice. I gained self-confidence as I step into my own authentic and true self. The lessons and teachers provided a wide variety of topics, ideas and perspectives that I look forward to exploring in more depth as I continue my yoga journey. Although the course was online, there was still a wonderful sense of community among my peers. I would highly recommend Sacred Paths Yoga teacher training for those individuals interested in exploring the connection between body, mind and spirit and for those interested in bringing the practice of yoga off the mat and into their daily life.

Sacred Paths was an incredible program with even better guides and teachers. The content learned was thoughtful and the course layout was extremely easy to follow. I enjoyed this training immensely and will continue to recommend this organization to my fellow yogis and friends!

The Sacred Paths Yoga Online 200hr teacher training program was incredible. Lacey & Darin are a husband and wife duo that have surrounded themselves with soulful and knowledgeable teachers to lead the courses. All of the teachers were outstanding guides with so much meaningful content and insight. This was an impactful spiritual journey as well as a physical and metal learning space. I can't say enough good things about this course. The whole time, I was thinking how reasonably priced the course was for the amount of coursework, knowledge, and inner perspective you get out of it. It came at the right time in my life and I am so grateful that I not only completed a yoga teacher training course, but that I took it through Sacred Paths Yoga! I am forever grateful to them and this experience!

I am overwhelmed with emotions of awe, joy, accomplishment, and gratitude. Thank you, Lacey, Darin, and all the facilitators, for your time, wisdom, and overall for opening your teachings online. What I received from your training was so much more than what I could've expected. I have grown within my practice as an individual and have cultivated rituals that I will carry with me forever. I am beyond grateful and excited for what's to come.

I was very hesitant on what I was getting myself into. Little did I know that those three weeks would end up being some of the best weeks of my life. I learnt so much & fell even more in love with yoga. I was surrounded by beautiful, kind, & open-minded people, who accepted me for who I am. Together we grew & changed in the best way. The location was gorgeous & I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about the experience if I could! I am so grateful to have had this opportunity, and would highly recommend it to anyone out there. Whether you’re an experienced yoga practitioner or a complete beginner... you won’t regret it!

I would recommend Sacred Paths Yoga to anyone looking to become a registered yoga teacher. Both of the founders along with each instructor teach and communicate in a way that make their years of experience evident. If you choose to learn under them and finish the course, you will improve as a person as well as come out a prepared teacher.

This was an incredible experience given that it was online. The teachers were all highly educated, professional and authentic. I will recommend to anyone interested in taking their YTT!

I think Darin and Lacey have brought together a very strong team. All teachers bring in their own voices, viewpoints and expertise; they have in common their love for yoga, their passion to bring it into the world and their commitment to deliver high quality classes. The curriculum offered a great combination of practice and theory, in this way contributing to a solid and strong foundation for aspiring yoga teachers.

The Sacred Paths Yoga Online Teacher Training was more than I could ever have hoped for!  Their online training program allowed me to gain the knowledge and confidence I needed. I felt very supported by each instructor and their passion was inspiring. I am so thankful for the wonderful experience! 

This program was absolutely amazing. I feel like I have a true understanding of the roots and history of yoga along with the skills to safely guide a Yoga class. My teachers were both so knowledgeable and created a special environment that was loving and intentional.  The program covered such an impressive range of topics, everything from the fundamentals such as the roots of yoga, yogic philosophy, anatomy, sequencing and pranayama, to more specific and thoughtful details, like yoga ethics, trauma sensitive language, Prana and the koshas, Ayurveda, and so much more. Sacred Paths did a fantastic job incorporating the spiritual and philosophical aspects of Yoga into the training education, which I really appreciate. I would absolutely recommend Sacred Paths to anyone interested in deepening their yoga practice, whether for their own personal and spiritual development or with the goal of becoming a yoga teacher.

I was blessed to attend the online 200-hour training which was a life transforming experience. I was guided how to be an inclusive, nurturing, informed yoga teacher and how to explore and cultivate my own spiritual journey. Even though the course was online this did not dampen the experience, I was able to form friendships with my fellow practitioners by attending the immersive live classes and partaking in the Facebook group. Doing the training online allowed me to make my home into a personal spiritual sanctuary and fit the studies in around my day to day life. The curriculum is fresh, extensive, and inspiring. The ancient philosophy of yoga is taught alongside important modern topics such as ethics, trauma informed language and cultural appropriation. As a disabled, plus sized, BIPOC female student I felt extremely safe, comfortable, and included in the training. Modifications and props are included and encouraged in lessons and asanas which further made the course accessible. The teachers on the course are passionate and full of enthusiasm making the lessons engaging and motivating. I completed the course in 40 days which flew by, and I would sign up for a further course no doubt. I feel grateful and honored to have studied at Sacred Paths Yoga.

Sacred Paths Yoga teacher training was a wonderful and life-changing experience. Both of the teachers on site, Sri and Lindsay, were knowledgeable, compassionate, and intuitive. They were there for me and each of the students in more ways than they were required and for that I am grateful. The subject matter was well thought out and integrated. The class setting (in an open-air shala, all in a circle on yoga mats) was the most comfortable learning environment I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Sayulita stole my heart and was the perfect, serene, magical setting for such an experience. The food prepared for us by Nuri was always nutritious and she was so accommodating to each and every dietary need the group of us had. All in all, I would highly recommend Sacred Paths Yoga Teacher Training in Sayullita to anybody, whether they wish to become yoga teachers, deepen their practice, or just enjoy a journey of understanding the self and the environment within which we live

I had the most amazing, rich and rewarding experience during my YTT with Darin, Lacey and Lindsey. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and managed to create a perfect space for growth and building a community for the students. I felt so inspired during the course, and I believe it prepared me well to start my yoga teacher journey after the training. Massive thank you to the teachers, my only wish is that the course lasted longer! 🙂

Sacred Paths YTT created such an informative, creative and safe space to explore and learn. The teachers and group were amazing. It truly was a sacred experience that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I am so grateful for this training and people I met along the way. I finally feel like I can practice yoga more competently and eager to start this teaching journey.

Everything about the Sacred Paths 200 hour YTT was amazing! The teachers created a really loving and intentional container for the three weeks we were in Mexico together. Both teachers had so much yoga knowledge and experience and were eager to share their wisdom with the students. The program covered such an impressive range of topics, everything from the fundamentals such as the roots of yoga, yogic philosophy, anatomy, sequencing and pranayama, to more specific and thoughtful details, like yoga ethics, trauma sensitive language, Prana and the koshas, Ayurveda, and so much more. Sacred Paths did a fantastic job incorporating the spiritual and philosophical aspects of Yoga into the training education, which I really appreciate. I would absolutely recommend Sacred Paths to anyone interested in deepening their yoga practice, whether for their own personal and spiritual development or with the goal of becoming a yoga teacher.

Sacred Paths Yoga is a wonderful school and I can highly recommend it for YTTs but also other courses that they offer. The wealth of knowledge the founders and facilitators have, the way they transmit that knowledge, the breadth of the content of the YTT as well as the way they hold space for the student is amazing. They have put a lot of thought and work in the online version of the YTT, to the point where for example they explain assists and alignment cues so clearly that the feedback I received from my first live student was that my assists were spot-on and super helpful - and that came only from learning it through the videos! The 40 days I got to spend with SPY and all the facilitators was life-changing, and I feel they prepared me the best way possible to be a yoga teacher, being able to offer a safe space and in-depth knowledge to my future students through the wholesome education I received from SPY.

The training through Sacred Paths Yoga was excellent, The course content flowed and followed a wave through the elements with spiritual and practical lessons in tune with this flow. It was thorough in its teaching of anatomy, spirituality, shamanism, yoga history and experientially preparing us for teaching. Although the course was online, the intimacy, connection and sense of community was wonderful; I felt like I found my soul tribe. All of the facilitators were knowledgable, supportive and inspiring. I felt rooted in the yogic process when I completed and it brought me in tune with myself and my gifts. What a joy it was to train and to now be part of the Sacred Paths community

I came into my training with Sacred Paths Yoga not really sure what to expect. For a few years I had been interested in taking a teacher training course but never had the time or funds, so when I hit a career rut I decided to take the first step to finally putting myself first and found SPY. I never imagined I would gain knowledge in so many different subjects but more surprising than that was how much I learned about myself. It changed how I view my body, my surroundings and current lifestyle, and the earth and her people. I left my training feeling ready to take on what this next chapter offers and fully equipped to help others find fulfillment through yoga as well. I'm already excited for the next time I can join SPY for another training!

Sacred Paths YTT online course is a transformational experience. Their knowledge, experiences, broad diverse subjects covered, personal attention and staff are unmatched. I enjoyed the course, and feel a sincere transformation has taken place. I highly recommend their unique approach to the online learning experience.

Sacred Paths Yoga seemed to come into my life at just the right time - I couldn't ask for a better 200hr YTT program. Thank you Darin and Lacey! I am looking forward to continuing my Yoga Teacher journey with them, as I complete further teacher trainings with SPY.

This school has the best teachers and they are truly guide me in this journey to becoming a Yoga Teacher. The program I have taken was extremely good, the module was so full that I can understand easily yet so full of knowledge. In my opinion, the program is truly setting a high standard in order to become a Yoga Teacher. I didn't had any disappointments during the program, instead they guide me and handle our struggles quite well. I totally recommend this for all of you reading my comment to take their program. It's totally worth it! Thank you so much Sacred Paths Yoga to make my dream come true and become an inspiration for others.

Sacred Paths Yoga Teacher Training is a great experience any time. However, it was especially powerful at the beginning of the pandemic. When the rest of the world was shutting down, SPY did a hard pivot and created a meaningful and interactive online program. Instead of feeling isolated and alone, they created a community where our group could come together and grow. Hoping to do one of their in person trainings in the future. Darin and Lacey are kind, hard working and amazing people.

The teachers were great people and very knowledgeable and made the learning interesting , interactive and diverse. It was a very welcoming atmosphere. I feel prepared to begin teaching! 

Sacred Paths teacher training was a life changing experience for me! The training was comprehensive, with elements of instruction, spirituality, practice, peer and teacher support, and attention to detail. All of the instructors embodied humility as well as a passion for yoga and for teaching. 

I completed the 200hr online YTT with Sacred Paths and I really appreciated this format as I still reference the material frequently. The online course helped set me up to successfully complete the 300 hr Advanced Yoga teacher training in person. I love the variety of teachers and material available, the training and workshops are an excellent tool to assist you in planning your own classes, highly recommend Sacred Paths. You can learn more about Alanea's Tribe here: http://oib.ca/

SPY 300Hr teacher training deep dives into art of teaching, adjustments, anatomy, and creative sequencing, as well as yoga philosophy and Vedic texts.

I searched for a long time to find the right school for me, I needed something different and I immediately knew Sacred Paths Yoga was the one! They had so much to offer! All the teachers were fantastic and each brought something different and valuable. Even though it was all on zoom, we had lots of support, Lacey and Darin were always available to promptly answer any questions we had. This course completely exceeded my expectations, it was a truly magical experience.

An amazing program that not only provides in-depth training but is life transformative on so many levels

Wonderful experience with a great community feel- even in the online format. I was introduced to a wide variety of approaches and topics so I can choose my own path of study moving forward. Highly recommend!

Darin and Lacey have poured a vast amount of love and knowledge into their development of this school. They are quick to assist and educate their students about yoga and spiritual practices from multiple cultural backgrounds. Their passion is apparent in their work and dedication to their practice.

I can totally recommend Sacred Paths Yoga School. I am beyond grateful for this journey and could not be more happy with this decision. There are no words for describing what I've experienced and learned. I have grown so much on my inner spiritual journey. My attitude towards life, all beings and myself has changed. I see life with different eyes now. I recognize beauty everywhere and I am able to see what is, instead of what was or could be. All the facilitators did such a great job. They supported and encouraged us every time. They embody their own experiences and they truly live what they teach. They hold the energetic space throughout the whole course and they offer a safe space for healing and sharing. They cultivate the energy of wisdom, love and acceptance. They made this journey both: steady and easeful. 🙂 The facilitators guided us along all lessons we had to learn and prepared us in an authentic and professional way for all our assignments we had to teach throughout the course to become a Yoga Teacher. I felt seen, heard and guided all the time, by the facilitators as well as by this wonderful community we created. Thank you to all teachers for guiding me through this sacred path. ~ Namaste, much love and light.

Sacred Paths Yoga was such a wonderful school. My instructors Karen and Sam were absolutely incredible and brought so much passion and love into the course!

This was such an amazing school and program! It was actually the first one I came across and felt so drawn to it, and now I see why. The course layout was so thought out and flowed so fluidly. And the teachers are so knowledgeable. I absolutely love the wisdom each teacher brought into the program. Lacey and Darin really put their hearts into this program and it shows.

Fantastic Yoga teacher training experience! Darin and Lacey are highly gifted teachers with a deep yoga and spiritual practice which enables them to create a transformational experience for their students. Each class with them was rich with meaning and valuable information. Thank you, Lacey and Darin for being fully present in your teaching, for your depth of sharing and holding space, as well as for your support throughout the program. Highly recommended!

Sacred Paths Yoga was such an amazing experience! It was truly a healing journey. Lacey and Darin, as well as the other facilitators, offered a safe and healing space filled with positive energy and vibrations. The material was taught thoroughly and in a way that could be comprehended easily. They made the online platform feel like it was in person. I felt welcomed and accepted in a way as if I had known the teachers and the students for years. It felt like family. I gained so much more than I ever could have imagined in this training and I am thankful beyond words for the gift that Sacred Paths offered to me. I have and will continue to recommend Sacred Paths Yoga as the go to place to receive YTT.

Sacred Paths Yoga is an amazing choice for YTT as it graciously combines all of the asana protocol with the history of yoga through its emphasis on the Sutras. The deep spiritual practices and ceremonies were so well integrated. This entire program is not to be missed

Sacred Paths Yoga Teacher Training is extremely life changing. Darin and Lacey are amazing humans/teachers who offer deep value in their course. From holding space, to challenging practices and sacred ceremonies; Sacred Paths Yoga family is my family. With love and gratitude

SPY - thank you. This program reminded me that every waking moment is a sacred ceremony of life, and that every step we take is the sacred path we walk. I feel deeply rooted in my Being and able to access my full potential as kinetic energy

I loved the facilitators and the selection of classes offered. The course heads provided thorough and actionable feedback for all assignments. The learning environment was supportive and friendly. This was truly a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend it.

I am very grateful for this program. It has given me more faith in myself and made me realize what I really want to do. Before this program, I would have never thought I could open my own business but now my goal is to open a health & wellness business focusing on a holistic approach to nutrition and overall health. And of course, I will be offering yoga and pilates classes. I am very happy with my growth and the knowledge I have gained from the program. I really did not want to do yoga online, I had plans to do my 200hrs in the Netherlands and had everything including my flights place. However, it just did not feel right. I can not explain it, but deep inside I know it was not for me. That changed when I came across Sacred Paths website, something about the way I felt while navigating the site made me feel safe. I didn't think doing a ytt online would be practical or eye-opening but this program was beyond. Thank you so much for allowing me to have this incredible experience!

This was an amazing experience - incredible facilitators, incredible location, incredible people. Beautiful, and could not recommend more.

I am beyond grateful for my experience and training with Sacred Path Yoga in Costa Rica. It was truly life transforming and exceeded my expectations. Darin, Lacey and Javi were extremely knowledgeable and made it so much fun and special. I learned so much that I hope to carry with me for the rest of my life and share with others. I feel so much more connected to my mind, body and spirit through their teachings. I highly recommend Sacred Path Yoga to anyone wanting to get certified as a yoga teacher, to deepen their practice or to just have a positive life changing experience. And I can’t forget to mention how amazing the meals were as an added bonus. I will forever to be grateful for this very special experience with Sacred Path Yoga.

This was the best decision I have made in my life, the teachers were amazing, and I really enjoyed how the daily plan went. The plan of the course was broken down in a really understanding way, for the teaching of yoga and the affect it had for my mind, body, soul too!

This training was perfect for me. It was intense and effective. The instructors were very knowledgeable. The location was terrific! The staff worked hard to make our stay pleasant at Indigo Yoga Retreat and Resort. Stunning sunsets and beautiful ocean coast.

The teachers at Sacred Paths Yoga are all so unique. Together they provided an informative and incredibly fun training. I would recommend this training to anyone, it was one of the best experiences of my life.

Sacred Paths 200 hour yoga teacher training in Costa Rica changed my life. I would absolutely recommend this intensive training to anyone looking to deepen their spiritual and yoga practice.
