Emma Kidd

The CYTT with Louisa Craig was inspiring and fun. I have been teaching Yoga for 8 years and this course really helped me to deepen my knowledge and awareness yet again. Louisa is a deeply intuitive and heart-led teacher and her wealth of experience and commitment to spreading the benefits of Yoga in fun ways is important.

Julie Morton

I have been through quite a few yoga trainings and LKY is up there with the best of them.

Having been a yoga student of Louisa's many years ago I found her refreshing, authentic and empowering. I tend to shy away from the yoga scene because I find people have a lot of judgements and expectations at what someone who practises yoga should or shouldn't be. It nearly put me off becoming a yoga teacher myself. But teachers like Louisa are apologetically themselves and that helped me feel better in my own skin.

Melissa Spencer

The 200 hour course was amazing. I loved the structure of the course as it worked really well with work and family life. Louisa was a fantastic teacher, so knowledgeable, inspiring and supportive - she really brought out the best in each of us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Louisa's teaching and this course to anyone and am sad that it has ended.

Kelly Signorini

Fun and friendly atmosphere. It's clear Louisa is very experienced in childrens yoga as this shines through in her classes. Loved the course and would highly recommend.

Deeside Yoga

The course was fantastic with Louisa, a very experienced teacher, sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm with her students. I learned so much from the Louisa and was able to start my business teaching children's yoga as soon as I had qualified. Louisa provided a personal service and her years of experience shone through. A wonderful course that has enabled me to teach yoga to the next generation!

Jenni Paterson

A fantastic course full of very useful information and first hand advice, lead by a knowledgable and really engaging tutoe. Louisa was so supportive and helpful thoughout the whole process.

Elaine Cochrane

Louisa is so passionate. I went into this course with a love of yoga asana and have come out feeling like a changed person after soaking up all her wonderful yoga philosophy knowledge. We went into lockdown after we'd started the course as a contact course. Initially i felt really cheated that the course had changed. It wasnt what i wanted or signed up for BUT Louisa has been so supportive. She gave us time to adjust to a new way of learning and gave us incredible teachings week after week. I genuinely am really grateful not only to have developed my personal practise and knowledge to teach but also to have developed a strong bond with Louisa and the other trainees.

Emma Ledingham

Louisa is an incredibly supportive, patient, knowledgeable and encouraging teacher! We started the training in person but had to make the switch to online due to lockdown! Louisa adapted incredibly to having to teach online and guide us through the change. I cannot recommend LKY highly enough if you want to deepen your yoga knowledge!

Suzie McNeil

Louisa's enthusiasm for yoga is infectious. I've learned so much - about yoga, about myself, and found "my yoga". I'd recommend this course to anyone seeking to become a yoga teacher.
