What previous graduates say about the course 

I found the yoga teacher training a really rewarding experience. Lisa is a fantastic teacher, she is very knowledgeable, and teaches in a clear, calm and inclusive way. The balance between theory and practical was just right which allowed the learning to be embedded. I would recommend this course not only for your own personal journey which can be so enlightening, but also to be able to share the gift of yoga with others. Jodie 

‘I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to train with Lisa on her yoga teacher training course. The course itself was rich and detailed and I learned a huge amount about yoga practice, teaching, theory, anatomy, philosophy and history. The weekend with Amy during which we focused on history and philosophy was also absolutely fantastic, mind-opening and thought-provoking. Beyond the extensive learning, there are two main things I am equally grateful for and that made the experience of the course both unique and really special. The first was the opportunity to be guided by Lisa into a deeper practice through the longer yoga practices we had time and space for during the teacher training weekends. Secondly, the beautiful community that emerged through our training. Lisa has a real gift when it comes to holding space for communities to flourish. It was such a gift to train with such a supportive, kind and encouraging group of yogis. I made true friends during the course. I’m now teaching yoga both as part of my PhD research on yoga and in a separate weekly class in Exeter. I love it. It’s also great to be able to carry on learning from Lisa by attending her weekly classes and regular retreats too. Lisa was endlessly supportive through the course and that support and encouragement has continued since the course ended last September too. Thank you so much Lisa! Gemma 

Lisa is an exceptional yoga teacher, and will guide you through the 200 hour training with her incredible knowledge, energy, enthusiasm and warmth. Expect lots of physical movement and a dynamic practice combined with a challenging reading list and lots of fun along the way! Natalie 

Lisa is an inspiring teacher, and her teachings come straight from the heart. I cant believe how much we covered in just 200hrs! I think the best part was the amount of teaching practice we got to do, and I felt completely supported throughout. I definitely felt well prepared to start my own classes after the training and would highly recommend a teacher training with Lisa. Laura 

I highly recommend this Yoga Teacher Training if you want to deepen your yoga practice and knowledge of yoga. Its an experience you won’t regret and one of the best things I have accomplished. Maria 

I was so pleased I did the teacher training with Lisa – she really inspired me to teach having been a student of hers for 20+ years. She is so knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. She practically holds your hand on the journey to becoming a teacher. I’m now teaching at her studio and have never been happier or more fulfilled. Jill 

I have recently completed my 200hr YTT with Lisa at the Lotus Loft. It’s hard to put into words how wonderful this training was. The knowledge and experience of the teachers meant that we were able to cover a huge amount of content, creating a rich learning experience. We had opportunities to practice teaching throughout the training which helped to build confidence and apply what we had learnt. Lisa and the other teachers created such a warm and supportive environment, and I’ve loved becoming a part of the YTT community! I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop their knowledge and practice of yoga. Beth
