Testimonials from Graduates
Meliz, CAMHS, Face to Face, 2026
Such a wonderful training, so in-depth and and I really enjoyed the sections on physiology, neuroscience and philosophy. Also great balance of practice, collaboration and theory. The homework in the evening do sometimes feel a lot after a long day, I personally would have preferred watching the videos in advance but that’s just a small thing 🙂
Niamh, Sheffield Children’s Hospital, Face to Face, 2026
I thoroughly enjoyed both the format and the teaching style of the class. With a group of 10, it created a supportive environment where we were able to get to know each other individually. The structure of the sessions flowed well, and there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions and contribute when needed.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in working with teenagers, whether in a healthcare or school setting.
Emma, Yoga Teacher Schools, Face to Face, 2026
It’s been an amazing course, really accessible and brilliantly presented. Very informative and I can see how it will impact my teaching of young people.
Laura, Youth Worker, Face to Face, 2026
Very well rounded training between practice and theory. Charlotta is a very welcoming person.
Emma, Yoga Teacher, Face to Face, 2026
Perfect blend of theory and practical skills!
Winter, Face to Face, 2026
I loved the way Charlotta taught the class as it felt very rich in knowledge but in a way that felt digestible and reflective. I feel that I have gained a deeper understanding of the complexities of the practice of yoga through the process of sharing and discussing with others what yoga is for them.
Liz, Face to Face, 2026
Amazing having the balance between theory then practice. Lots of amazing information on background, neuroscience, philosophy etc and then the practical application of what we have learnt: both experienced it ourselves, as well as having the chance to teach and practice ourselves in the role playing.
“A course that keeps giving”. This training has created a body of course material I will return to again and again. The PowerPoints, discussions and practices are like a personal library I can keep drawing from as I grow. It’s rare to find a course that is this specific, this therapeutic and this practical at the same time. I feel equipped, challenged and supported – all at once – and I know I’ll be coming back to these teachings for a long time.
“Community as cradle”. One of the most important things I’m taking away is the feeling of being held by a community. The invitation really was, ‘Jump in, don’t waste time. You have a cradle to hold you now.’ I often get stuck in overthinking, and the moments pass. This course has helped me move from pondering to action, with the sense that I’m not doing it alone. That’s priceless.
Amanda, 2025
“Love, not just theory”. I’ve gone through a whole box of tissues during this course. The sharing has been absolutely magical. What really stands out is that it’s not just about theory and techniques – it’s about love and compassion and a deep devotion to our young people. That comes through in every session. It’s reminded me that young people aren’t some separate species; they are us, and we are them. That sense of connection, of shared humanity, feels like our real superpower.
School Teacher, Oman, 2025
A teaching from the course landed very deeply for me: time passes quickly and opportunity is easily lost. I’ve spent years feeling passionate about supporting young people, and at the same time doubting myself – wondering if I have enough experience, or where to start. This training gave me both the knowledge and the gentle push I needed. I don’t want to let time slip away anymore. I want to seize this work and not squander it.
Angela, Oman, 2025
This course was so much more – and so much different – than I was expecting, in the best way. The content was incredibly rich, but I learned just as much from everyone participating. People came from such different backgrounds, yet somehow it all felt coherent and connected. There is still so much to metabolise: I’m going back to the recordings, the discussions and my notes again and again. I can already feel how it will impact my parenting, my teaching and how I show up with young people.
“From rest to right action”. One line we explored in the course has stayed with me: when we are rested, we are ready for the world, but not held hostage by it. Rested, we can care again for the right things and the right people in the right way. This training helped me feel that in my own body, not just understand it in my head. It’s reshaped the way I think about rest – not as laziness, but as the foundation for ethical, sustainable care for young people.
Kirsten, Australia, 2025
“Depth, therapy and voice”. I’ve done other yoga trainings before, but this one was completely different. It went much deeper and came from a truly therapeutic perspective. I didn’t just revisit things I’d heard before – I understood them in far more depth. The presentations and group work really pushed me out of my comfort zone. That challenge was exactly what I needed: learning to present, talk to people, and clarify what I actually want to say. Moving forward, those skills are just as important to me as the yoga content itself.
Katie, Physiotherapist, Sheffield Children’s Hospital, 2025
“A benchmark for therapeutic yoga training”.
This programme sets a world-class benchmark for therapeutic yoga training. The facilitators delivered material with such clarity and depth that I was continuously inspired. I’ve never experienced a course that combined neuroscience, trauma-informed practice and embodied learning so seamlessly.
Youth Worker, UK, 2025
“Quality that exceeds expectations”.
I expected a good course. What I experienced was a world-class programme that surpassed every expectation. The content was rigorous, the delivery compassionate, and the learning environment unlike anything I’ve been part of. It raised my understanding of yoga therapy to an entirely new level.
Caroline, Teacher Trainer, UK, 2025
“A level of teaching that stands apart”.
This course is truly world-class. I’ve taken many trainings over the years, but none have matched the depth, care and therapeutic intelligence of this one. The teaching was exceptional — grounded, spacious and profoundly insightful. It felt like stepping into a global standard of excellence.
“The courage to begin despite self-doubt”.
“For years I’ve felt a deep longing to work with young people, and at the same time constant self-doubt — wondering if I had enough experience or the right voice. This course helped me step through that hesitation. It made me believe that I can start now, imperfectly but wholeheartedly.”
“A transformational shift in perspective”.
“This course shifted my entire understanding of what yoga for young people can be. It’s not just movement. It’s nervous system literacy, compassion, and embodied presence. The therapeutic approach changed the way I see my role as a teacher.”
“Returning to the materials again and again”.
“There is so much depth here that I know I will be revisiting it for months. The PowerPoints, the discussions, the practices — they are resources I can keep coming back to as I grow as a teacher and practitioner.”
“Feeling seen, held and encouraged”.
“I felt so encouraged and held by the group and the facilitators. It was the first time in a long time that I felt truly seen. That sense of being supported gave me the confidence to stretch into areas I normally avoid. I will carry that forward.”
“A space of compassion, courage and connection”.
“There was such love in this course. Not sentimental love, but a grounded compassion that held all of us. The course reminded me that what we bring to young people is not just knowledge, but the quality of our presence. That feels like the heart of this work.”
“Skills I will carry into every area of life”.
“I can already see how what I’ve learned here will influence everything in my life — my teaching, my relationships, my parenting. These are not just techniques; they’re ways of being. I feel like I have a new foundation to build from.”
“A challenging but necessary growth edge”.
“One of the biggest takeaways for me was being pushed out of my comfort zone. Presenting, speaking, sharing my voice — these were things I usually avoid. This course asked me to step up in a gentle but firm way, and I realised how important that is for moving forward in my work.”
“Rich content and real-world relevance”.
“The content you’ve built is incredibly rich. Every session connected back to real life: the young people we teach, the children we raise, and the parts of ourselves that still need gentleness. I feel like I’ve gained tools that are both deeply therapeutic and immediately relevant.”
“A profound sense of alignment”.
“Everything people brought into the sessions — the poems, the stories, the reflections — somehow aligned so naturally. It all echoed the themes of rest, presence, courage and compassion in this course. That synchronicity told me I was exactly where I needed to be.”
“A course that surprises you in the best way”.
“This course appeared in my life at exactly the right moment. I had just taught a few classes to a group of children, and then this opportunity came up. I was curious, but I had no idea how transformational it would be. It turned out to be far more powerful, far more layered, and far more nourishing than I imagined.”
“Learning from the group as much as the teaching”
“I learned so much not only from the course content, but from the group itself. Everyone’s background was different, yet somehow we were all working with the same thread. Hearing everyone’s perspectives enriched the whole experience for me. I can’t even describe how much I’ve absorbed from simply listening to others.”
Margaret, School Teacher, 2014
Still processing and assimilating the wonderful experience with you and the group. Each day brings greater clarity and meaning, I can’t thank you enough.
DC Samantha Hare, Metropolitan Police, 2011
This is a life changing course…if you have any interest in helping the youth of today become balanced adults of tomorrow do this course!
The course was brilliantly executed and covered all aspects and more. I came away feeling confident and empowered to deliver sessions to this age group.
Testimonials from Teens
Suki (Year 13)
Each yoga session made me feel relaxed and calm, helping awe to focus on flexibility, accuracy and balance. I was excited for every session I took part in and would recommend them to everyone.
Max (14)
Jess’ classes have helped me to deal with stress in a better way. Stress from exams, school, family and friends, and one that I struggle the most with is stress of the unknown. The main things I’ve learned are how to relax properly, how stress works and how to counter it.
Ben (16)
My back feels loads better after yoga!
Teen (Year 10)
Laid on my mat, listened to your teen yoga video and now feel so relaxed in the sun. Ready to start my day now, thank you.
Cameron (Year 13)
Beforehand, I had never done yoga in my life. I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy it and I wasn’t sure how quickly I could learn. Not only did I love the sessions I took part in but also, I learnt that it’s okay if you get it wrong. Yoga helped me to find a moment of peace in a busy school day day and I’m very thankful for it.
Dan (18)
Yoga makes me feel at peace.

Hattie (Year 13)
I took part in the 6th form Yoga PE sessions last year and I found them very enjoyable. I became more confident to try new skills in front of people and I even managed to attempt a headstand with support. I found the sessions interesting and calming and loved trying new things in a supportive environment. From the yoga sessions themselves to the music and mindfulness, every part was always a joy to learn about.
Footballer (18-19)
When I relax at the end of a class I feel like I’m on a cloud and I don’t want it to end.
