Feedback from Trainees

 ‘I can't put into words how fantastic your children's yoga teacher training course was! You have inspired me, and taken me on an amazing journey and given me all the tools I need to be a successful childrens yoga teacher. The training has given me not only the confidence to teach, but I have also rediscovered my creativity. I look forward to continuing my training with you.’ Lisa

’It’s been a week since the course finished and I miss it already! I got so much more out of it, personally and professionally, than I expected. There was a very good level of support if I had any questions and I particularly loved that I could complete the online modules at my own pace. I feel confident and inspired about teaching yoga to children and will definitely be looking to do future courses with children’s yoga tree.’ Rosie 

‘This training went above and beyond my expectations.  I was skeptical about taking an online training but this was amazing. The online content was extremely useful, precise and easy to navigate.   I learned so much and feel confident in my teaching ability. The two hour meetings on Saturday were just the right amount of time to feel connected and keep you motivated.  From start to finish this course was organized and the instructors were accessible in real time. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about children's yoga.  I look forward to taking more trainings with Emma and Siobhan.’ Megan

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

Giving Back

Wild Tree Yoga is committed to giving children from vulnerable communities in South Africa and the UK the opportunity to learn life changing yoga skills to support their mental and physical health. We are currently working with one of our Teaching Training graduates to set up the first yoga studio in a South African township. Alexandra Township in Johannesburg has a population of nearly million people with extremely high rates of poverty, unemployment and hunger.

In 2020 we gave £1500 to help South African families in crisis during the Covid Pandemic. 10% of the profit from our online training courses went to the Dolphin Eco- School run by the Flower Valley Conservation Trust in South Africa. The money raised helped families from a deprived rural community access early years education as well as providing much needed food and essential for teachers and their families during the Covid pandemic.
