Amelia

Expect a thorough sprinkling of history and philosophy and some juicy anatomy, all taught with the right level of humour, spirituality and pragmatism.

Lisa

I really couldn't recommend Laura and the Bristol School of Yoga highly enough - they're an exceptional team of teachers offering a diverse set of training modules who really do live and breathe the values and truth of yoga.

Maddy

Laura has a talent for breaking down Yoga asana in a way that is accessible and easy to remember. She is also extremely knowledgable about the spiritual side to the practice and every student is taught how vital the true essence of yoga is along with being mindful about how important the roots of yoga are and the wonderful culture that created it. Laura gave me the confidence to take my teaching and run with it learning along the way. We are always students!

Denise

Whether it be a foundation course just to deepen your own practice or to become a Yoga Teacher, Laura shares her amazing knowledge and creates truly transformational courses.

Sarah

“Both Laura and Lizzie were a fab team. Laura is exceptional at holding the space and being with everyone in the room and shared her knowledge and wisdom generously. Lizzie is completely of service for everyone; generous, fun and humbling to be around. “

Jake

“I cannot thank the Laura and the team at the Bristol School of Yoga enough for everything that they have done throughout our 200 hour Hatha yoga teacher training course. I cannot imagine a more wonderful way to transition from yoga student to yoga teacher – even though the student part never stops!”

Marianna

“I’ve felt so supported with a healthy dose of challenge and pushing my own comfort zone. I feel the course was structured and held in a really sensitive and thoughtful way.”

Lisa

“The Bristol School of Yoga helped me find my voice. Laura, Ashley, and all the other teachers at BSY are all so unbelievably knowledgeable I was always left feeling amazed and fulfilled after every module. It was such a lovely experience to be able to share openly and learn in a judgment free environment.”

Imogen

“Thank you so much for such a humble delivery and explaining these teachings in such a well-rounded and easily accessible view point. Shining some light on the more mystical magical experiences of practice and empowering them with language and explanation.”

Jen

“I’ve loved every minute of the Yoga Teacher Training course. The process has been as much about personal growth as it has been about learning to teach yoga so I feel like every area of my life has benefited.”
