Reviews from my graduates ….
I had the most amazing time learning with Laura! I feel confident to lead children’s and family yoga and super inspired to design and structure my classes. I’ve also learned so much about the business and admin of running classes which will be invaluable as a professional! Recommend so highly ☀️

Laura's teacher training went above and beyond my expectations. It was jam packed, full of knowledge, theory, fun, physical practice, balloons, ribbons and much, much more. The way Laura teaches keeps everyone engaged and inspired throughout the duration of the course. She is extremely encouraging and supportive leaving you full of confidence. I've come away with a full heart and brimming with ideas. I can't wait to get teaching 🤗❤️ thank you so much Laura xxx

I've just completed Laura's 50hr Kids Yoga Teacher trainer course and honestly could not recommend enough! ❤️🌈💫 Laura is such a great teacher and the course was so well thought through and engaging. She's got such a creative way of teaching and it was full of so many amazing resources and ideas. From just the first weekend I already felt confident enough to teach my first class with some young people I work with to test some ideas and it went so well! The assessment section at the end of the course on the second weekend really showed what an AMAZING course it was, watching the other 10 trainees running the most amazing segments of a kids yoga class really shows the quality of Lauras teacher training. Honestly 10/10. The in person days were soo much fun, the group of other trainees were so lovely I've made some amazing friends and people I hope I can collaborate with on projects and classes in the future. The online modules are also really great and engaging, Laura using her creativity and lots colours and illustrations throughout all the course modules, so its such fun and engaging all the way! Thank you so much Laura, this course honestly exceeded all expectations and I can't wait to weave all these amazing tools and ideas into the work I do with the kids! Thank you again ❤️🌈💫 And if your thinking about doing a course with Laura then I 100% recommend! Xxxx

It’s hard to put into words how amazing Laura’s kids yoga training was! It was above and beyond what I could have imagined and the level of thought, detail and care is just incredible. I now feel really excited and confident that I will be able to deliver memorable, effective and fun yoga classes to children and families. The course was also so helpful in the practical and business side of things which means I feel I will be able to take the steps to making this work. Laura is also a fantastic teacher who is happy to answer hundreds of questions! I couldn’t recommend her course enough. It’s been a really inspiring and I can’t wait to get going. Thank you Laura
