The Yoga Teacher Training School
LKY Yoga Teacher Training School is a Yoga Educational Faculty set up to allow Yoga Practitioners & Yoga Teachers to evolve and develop into their greatest potential Selves. It allows all members to the community to connect & reflect and feel a sense of belonging.
All courses and workshops have a strong emphasis on yogic philosophy & theory and on building the foundations of practice to then allow each individual to develop their own authentic practice & style. All courses are Yoga Alliance Professionals accredited. Every lineage & style of yoga are accepted and embraced (within reason; there has been no goat or beer yoga so far) and the RYT200 training, and some others, have specialist senior teachers running masterclasses.
LKY Yoga School prides itself on the quality of the students it attracts; it has a friendly yet professional approach and uses diverse and forward-thinking ways of developing the yoga practitioner as a person and a teacher. We promise you a transformative personal journey. Every training gives the trainees what they need at the right time.
LKY now offers a 300hr YAP accredited course, which can be taken over a period of 2 years in various modules to allow the trainee to specialise in what inspires them most and to be able to fit the trainings around their family & working life. This ensures that we do not just churn out masses of ‘generic’ advanced yoga teachers. These modules can also be taken as ‘stand-alone’ courses, which are all Yoga Alliance Professionals accredited. Each LKY graduate will be able to share what yoga is to them in their own authentic style, without losing the ‘real’ essence of yoga along the way.
Courses offered will be RYT200, 300hrs, Childrens Yoga, Teen Yoga, Yoga & Ayurveda, Yogic Mythology & Moonology, 100hrs Advanced Yoga (includes Tantra), Yoga for Mental Health (includes restorative yoga), Yin Yoga, Pregnancy Yoga (includes mum & baby yoga), Astrology for Yogis.

“..As a yogi, I don’t believe in competition and think we should all support each other; there should be more yoga in the world to keep people healthy in body and mind. I also believe that your vibe attracts your tribe, and that by remaining authentic and true to yourself, working hard and being dedicated to what you are passionate about will enable you to be successful’..”
Louisa’s teaching style
‘My type of yoga is a hybrid of styles (vinyasa krama, kundalini, hatha, ashtanga, etc.) combining pranayama techniques and bandhas to concentrate the prana (energy) in the body. It isn’t as fast or strong as power yoga but is more dynamic than hatha or yin yoga.
…We all hold tension and emotions in our bodies, which can eventually transmute into illness. My aim is to release the things we hold on to and peel away our ‘layers’ to find a purer, happier version of ourselves. My classes are esoteric and light-hearted, influenced by Rod Stryker, who teaches a style of yoga called ParaYoga.
In my practice, the aim of Asana is more than improved health, flexibility and strength; it is used as a technique to balance the main forces that sustain mind and the body. Asanas are used to transform the physical body, as well as, to unblock or remove the obstructions to healthy or balanced energy flow.
This Tantric approach to Asana, is drawn from the ancient Yogic wisdom that suggests the quality of your energy determines your experience of life. Their explorations and experiences revealed that there were no energies or forces in the world that were not in the body, and none in the body that aren’t in the world. Thus, the central teaching on the Tradition is: if you master the life forces in your body, then you can master the forces in the world and, as a result, master your experience of and circumstances in the world.’
