Laura and the Bristol School of Yoga team have taught us to go beyond the physical for just practicing a pose – to question and analyse why we are practicing a posture, what is happening in the body on a physical and energetic level, and if the posture is right for our student. Recognising that each person who comes to our classes will be vastly different, with their own story and body, we have been taught to focus on safe alignment for the individual student.

The support given by Laura & the BSY team was everything you could ask for. From practical skills to reading recommendations, extra support/time because of my Dyslexia to hand holding and hugs when they were needed (pre-covid times!).

The Hatha 200 hours was a fantastic course to begin my journey as a yoga teacher. The anatomy modules gave me more confidence in understanding how yoga helps the physical body. I also met an amazing group of people who supported me throughout the course and into my teaching!

The experience was life changing. The quality of the training is the best I’ve received. The level of the support from the group continues to keep me going through trying times and the knowledge I gained and memories I have will stay with me for a lifetime.

The depth and breadth of knowledge and experience Laura and all the teachers had to share throughout my 200hr YTT course was invaluable. I highly recommended the school to anyone look to share yoga with others or embark on a journey of learning to deepen their own practice and self awareness.

I have recently completed the 200 hour teacher training course at BSY and the quality of the course was excellent and I would highly recommend. I am grateful to have been able to deepen and explore my practice in a supportive environment among incredible teachers and to have graduated from the course feeling prepared for the world of teaching. Thank you BSY!
