Feedback from Trainees

 ‘Your course, teaching and coaching was enjoyable and inspirational.  I cannot begin to tell you how much I got out of the weekends not only on the level of teaching children’s yoga and mindfulness but also on a personal growth level.’ Mairi

’I just wanted to say thank you for a great training course. I went along unsure of where I wanted to go with it all but now have lots of ideas and I’m excited to see where the journey takes me. I learnt so much and your teaching styles and the course content work so well. I even saw a spirit animal on a signpost to guide me.’ Kate

‘I just want to say what a fantastic course that was with amazing people. It was the best course I have been on since qualifying as a yoga teacher. I learnt so much from everyone - and found my inner child! It has given me confidence in my abilities and I used a lot of my new knowledge to calm down and settle my new beginners class last week, ‘ Sandy

‘I thought you were both fantastic so fun, friendly & knowledgeable! It was so brilliant & I am very grateful for the experience! ‘ Bex  

Giving Back

In 2020 with the help of our students we raised nearly £1500 to help South African families in crisis.

10% of profits from our Online Training Courses at Children’s Yoga Tree go directly to help support the Dolphin Eco- School run by the Flower Valley Conservation Trust in South Africa - helping families from a deprived rural community access early years education and giving children a positive start in life. In lockdown teachers and families at the school struggled to buy food and essentials. Money raised from our 2020 online training have gone directly to buying food for families.
