The way it’s taught in the course is to bend towards your face. I sometimes find it easier to bend towards the floor. Is there really a difference or “right way?”

Rightly or wrongly I always bend toward the middle of the fretboard…

Nothing worse than pushing off the edge of the fretboard on the a string when you’re up high

Yeah, there’s a huge difference. Like @Jimi mentioned, if you pull your bends toward the floor then you run the risk of pulling em right off the neck. This won’t happen for low E, A, D, and G bends, but, since most bends are done on G, B, and high E strings, it’s best to push your bends towards the sky. At least when you’re first starting your bending journey.
