Yoga For Everyone
At the Southampton School of Yoga, we believe passionately that yoga should be available, accessible and welcoming for all. It is our mission to train the best yoga teachers who can adapt the practice of yoga to meet the needs of each and every student. We don’t confirm to 1 set yoga style but train you to teach EVERYONE, from those craving the dynamic practice that is Vinyasa to the elderly, sick & vulnerable who might prefer Chair Yoga or remedial restorative yoga.
Just as every student is unique, so is every teacher. This course is not designed to fit you into a mould, but to empower you to find your voice, your style and let your brilliant uniqueness and your life, passion & dharma shine through.
“The 200hr training with Laura was a deep journey of personal discovery and exploration. Laura’s attention to detail and willingness to share her personal experience, wisdom and broad knowledge base was inspiring and her support and encouragement of all her students invaluable. I learnt so much more than how to teach yoga! I would highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to teach yoga in a professional, genuine and heartfelt way.” Sharon McKinnon, Psychologist. Hampshire
“Laura’s no-nonsense approach to teaching appealed to me but little did I know what a life changing course this would be. Laura gave me the best foundation that I could ever have wished for with the Sunday community classes giving me the teaching experience to feel empowered and confident. Whenever I was feeling wobbly, I was able to send Laura a message that I needed help and she would get me refocused and back on my journey. If you intend on doing yoga teacher training, prepare yourself, as this is an emotional course. You will never be the same person again! If you are serious about yoga teacher training, then I cannot recommend Laura enough” Enrico Tambellini, Medical Researcher, Hampshire

“There isn’t enough space for me to write just how life-changing Laura’s 200hr Yoga Teacher training is. Laura puts her heart and soul into her offerings, and the 200hr Yoga Teacher training course is no different – in fact, I’d say she goes above and beyond for her trainee teachers. She is brimming with knowledge, wisdom and nurturing guidance and wasn’t afraid to be honest with us when we needed a gentle nudge in the right direction. Laura helps her trainees discover their individual light in the world. You’ll make family, not just friends, for life with this course and I will forever be grateful to Laura for the opportunity she gives to student yogis looking to follow their own light.” Becci Hadzi, Legal Secretary, Hampshire
“The Teacher Training course was excellent. Laura has crafted the course to cover all aspects of yoga teaching. From the physical practice to marketing, yoga philosophy to anatomy. Having guest teachers gave us a different perspective and broadened our knowledge. Yes, the course is intense but it needs to be to produce Yoga Teachers of the highest quality. Laura gives her all to the course and is incredibly supportive, always there to help, even after the course has finished. The feeling of community from the fellow trainees is so valuable and I know we will be lifelong friends. I would definitely recommend this course and feel so lucky to have had Laura as my teacher.” Sarah, Accountant, Hampshire

Course Director & Lead Teacher – Laura Green
I’m Laura & I’m right here by your side & doing this WITH you.
I’m a full-time yoga teacher in Southampton, UK. I’m a Senior Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance Professionals and a Yoga Elder with Independent Yoga Network. I have been running my business offering yoga classes, retreats, a 200hr teacher training and teacher mentorship programme for over thirteen years.
started teaching yoga simply for the love of it alongside my regular job, but soon my classes were well enough attended that I was able to quit the 9-5 and become a full-time yoga teacher: I’ve never looked back.
I am driven to make yoga accessible to all and need your help to do that! I love teaching Vinyasa Yoga, Restorative & Yin Yoga and am also a published author of the key text ‘Teaching Chair Yoga’.
There is nothing I love more than watching a passionate yogi move from student to teacher. It is one of my greatest joys in life. I hope to meet you on this journey soon.
