95-HOUR Children's Yoga Teacher Training
"Hands
down, investing in the 95-Hour Certification was the best
decision I have ever made!
Laura's passion and knowledge shine
throughout the course.
I can honestly say that, even without rolling
out the yoga mats, so much of it applies to helping the children in my
daycare find success throughout the day "
- Katherine, Early Years Educator
"The
online training was easily accessible and I found the sessions really
interesting and informative. Laura has been incredibly supportive and
clearly has a passion for sharing yoga with communities worldwide.
I

- Nikki, PE School Teacher
Are you an educator who feels burnt out, anxious and overwhelmed working in the education system?
Are
you finding that you don't really have time to do your job properly
because of all the paperwork and pressure placed on you?
Has
your job as an educator turned into a job that requires you to be like a
parent, carer, social worker and school counselor to children as well
as trying to do your job of educating and empowering them?
As an ex-educator, I have been there too and so I understand your pain, your frustrations and your fears.
I'm Laura, founder & lead teacher of Divine Light Yoga and a former-classroom teacher who moved into a career in yoga and well-being for children and teens, after leaving the education system 9-years ago.
I moved from stressed, frustrated and burnt-out classroom teacher to my dream career in children's yoga and well-being, traveling the world, volunteering with meaningful children's charities, having time and freedom, and contributing to communities and the world in a more impactful way.
In
this teacher training, I'm sharing all the skills, knowledge and
experience that I have gained so that I can support you in transitioning
from full-time educator into a dream career in children's yoga and
well-being, with ease and confidence.
Taking the leap out of the education system and into a new career doesn't have to be difficult or scary, and it isn't when you have the guidance of someone who has already done it and the support of a community of other teachers who are doing it along side you.
Get started now!
"
Laura's approach is creative, relevant, holistic and fun. You will
leave with a deeper appreciation of what children's yoga can look like
and why it is so important!
Laura is one of the most positive, knowledgeable and encouraging
teachers I have ever met. Do it!"
- Caroline, Primary School Teacher,
"If anyone is thinking of this kind of training DO IT NOW!!
Be prepared to get inspired,motivated, educated, to laugh, get pulled right out of your comfort zone and be wrapped up in warm,kind , extremely friendly little bubble.
Can not recommend enough! GO ON DO IT."
- Christine, Kids Yoga Teacher & Founder of Sunkids Yoga
Imagine having more freedom with the hours that you work and a schedule that you create to fit into the life that you want. You get to choose your own work hours.
"The training was everything I expected and more. Laura provides a very in depth training covering all age groups from toddlers to teens in a variety of areas from visualizations to inversions to Hindu Mythology. I am so excited to use my new skills and tools in my classes.
I
have taken several of Laura’s online trainings and they have also been
fantastic! I look forward to continuing my studies and practice with
her".
- Kristy, Yoga Studio Owner & Founder of Kula Kids
As an Early Years Educator, I've designed this specific training for other educators, knowing that you're short on time, energy and let's be honest, on a school teachers salary you're probably short on money too.
And because of my background in education, I know what it takes to make an amazing, engaging and interesting training (we've all been to too many boring death-by-Powerpoint CPD courses before and I definitely don't want you to have to experience any more)
So I can guarantee that you'll love my playful, interactive approach to teaching which involves active participation, experiential learning, Q&A, group discussion and fun assignments.
As with everything that I teach, no matter what age group I'm teaching, I keep in mind all types of learners and neuro-differences to create classes that are practical, playful and diverse to optimise your learning and maximise engagement.
As
someone who successfully left the education system 10-years ago to start up my own kids yoga classes, with
absolutely no support, no financial means and no real plan, I can assure
you that if I can do it, you can most definitely do it.
Especially as
I'll be there to guide you, advise you and fully support you.
So not only is it one of the best learning experiences that you'll have, but I know how to fully guide you through the transition to your ideal career in yoga, mindfulness and well-being for children, young people and families.
"This
is by far one of the best thing that happened to me in the past
years.Throughout the course I didn’t even blink nor took a break for a
day, I was so excited and committed and willing to learn, and learn and
learn even more.
Laura is by far the best educator, yoga trainer,
practitioner and many other qualities. The beauty from inside out,
dedicated and so passionate about her work. I started my social media
platforms and organized zoom volunteer sessions in my community straight
after the course.
I am amazed of myself. But this couldn’t be done
without Laura’s guidance. I don’t have words to thank you
enough.
The great thing is that anytime I have a doubt or a question about a theme or a difficult child case I ask Laura and she always give me the best advice. She just gave me wings to fly".
- Livia, School PE Teacher

-Sarah, School Curriculum Co-Ordinator
"I
didn't know what to expect from an online teacher training course,
wondering if it might feel a bit remote. I couldn't have been more
wrong. Laura is an inspiring and fantastic teacher.
The community and
friends I have found whilst attending the zoom tutorials, has been a
wonderful surprise. Everyone is so supportive of one another.
Laura is
passionate about kids yoga and this is infectious. I have learnt so
much, without even being aware of it. I am very grateful to have found
Divine Light online and made the decision to do the course.
I will 100%
be back for more".

“Firstly, I would like to say that Laura is a fantastic, caring and knowledgeable teacher. I learned so much over the 10 day course, all of which I now feel confident to instantly use to teach my own children's yoga and meditation classes.
Laura instantly made me feel at ease and part of the group, all of whom arrived with a range of multicultural teaching and yoga experience. Her considerable depth of knowledge and practical experience of yoga, meditation, child development, teaching across the age ranges and pedagogical methods were instantly apparent and confidently communicated to each member of the group.
Laura made sure that there were many opportunities to practically apply what we were learning within the group and within a class with the local children.
If you are thinking of attending one of Laura's courses, do not hesitate. It will be the journey of a lifetime both for yourself and for the children you will teach afterwards.”

could not have been happier with the course! Laura is so passionate
and has such an extensive amount of experience in both Early Years
Education and in yoga which was so evident in her teacher training.
Everything was taught openly, genuinely and completely from the heart.
I
felt that she gave all her students the tools they needed to open their
minds to how they approach teaching yoga to young children.
I left the training feeling confident and excited about the prospect of applying what I had learned to any situation. It wasn't just power point presentations listing different activities, it was a whole new way of looking at teaching children yoga".
- Gemmarie, Early Years Educator & Founder of Little Gems

experience was fantastic. As a registered psychologist, I am expected

I can honestly
say that the learning, the inspiration, and the community that I have
made on this training has been of the most personally fulfilling of any
