Yoga as an after-school club activity in schools is increasingly attracting interest within schools’ staff and parents alike. Through Yoga, children are given an opportunity to express themselves in a physical and fun but precise and gentle way as well as practise mind-body techniques to tune in to their emotions, reflect and self-regulate. It is also a unique non-competitive physical activity that all children can equally take part in.

I carried out the Yogamoo children’s teacher trainer course in 2024. I am already a qualified Yoga Instructor and spent a lot of time researching different courses to train to also teach children’s Yoga. I chose Yogamoo as after a discussion with Laurence the course creator, I realized how passionate she was about what she does. Highly recommend this course, it is in depth, informative, packed full of templates to create your own class, and Laurence was always on hand in between to answer any questions or take a quick video call. She saw me right through to the end including then helping get my enhanced disclosure ready to start teaching. I cannot recommend this course enough. Excellent.

I qualified as a yoga teacher a few years before qualifying to teach children’s yoga with Laurence at Yogamoo and I cannot recommend the whole experience more highly. Laurence teaches her own children in some of the modules which adds a unique and personal element to a comprehensive and well-structured course. Laurence is incredibly patient and generous with her time, guiding students through each stage of the journey with insight, support and encouragement. The coursework is meticulously laid out, engaging and the concepts thoroughly explained with corresponding videos featuring Laurence and Yogamoo graduates during learning, assessment stages. I found the written element of the course to be thought-provoking as it required me to research areas that I was unfamiliar with: although there are the inevitable theoretical and practical similarities between adult and children’s yoga, looking at the practise through a younger lens and learning of yoga’s benefits to children was invaluable. I loved the warm conversations with Laurence that were both uplifting and inspiring. As a mother and nursery teacher, I was able to implement the techniques and structure offered by Laurence to create my own classes and practise them with my daughter and school children whilst completing the written work. The handbooks were easy to refer to for visual aids and again, it was lovely to see Laurence’s daughters demonstrating the poses and group work.
From offering examples of sequencing, content, term themes and stakeholder presentations within schools, the Yogamoo course offers a robust step-by step learning experience that equips a student to take the next steps to teach children safely and with confidence. Life events seemed to delay my completion of the course, but Laurence was absolutely wonderful in being both a mentor and positive energy from start to finish. What a gift this course is: it has opened many doors for me that I did not anticipate. Thank you for everything Laurence.

And what a gift you are Eilidh. It has been a pleasure to get to know you better in the process and you will make a fab Children Yoga Teacher. I look forward to hearing all about it soon :-)) xx

I qualified. I was nervous yet who wouldn’t be. Kids Yoga is a completely different set of skills and what an experience it has been. From the offset, laurence set clear expectations of what the course had to offer and for you to embrace. Her on hand assistance was readily available if you needed it throughout. Laurence was thorough with her feedback and I would not have wanted it any other way. The content of this course is very good from videos to audio to material provided. Taking your time to understand and put into practice. Did I get what I set out to achieve with Yogamoo. I certainly did. Thank you Laurence for your patience in my journey. Namaste

Michael Salmon –
I was first drawn to Yoga Moo whilst looking for a children’s Yoga course due to its name, to add some context I have always been called Moo Moo or Uncle Moo by my family, so this felt like the perfect course to start my yoga journey with. I know people always say that you should not pick something based on a nice name or a fun-shaped bottle, however, I was definitely not disappointed in any way the course turned out to be the perfect fit.
Laurence from the beginning very friendly, professional, and approachable and she still continues to be a support even after passing my qualification. Every time I needed to find a form or to get an update on where I was in my qualification I would email her and get a prompt response. Being neurodivergent can mean often I overload myself or forget what I am doing and when. Laurence made me feel comfortable enough to talk to her about it and then she was able to support me in the way that I needed to support my learning style.
As well as this the learning platform is very easily accessible with a great miss of learning material, from audio recordings to written text and even little videos. This blended learning with a task at the end of each module really helped solidify what the module taught.
I have and would highly recommend this course for anyone wishing to start out in the fun world of children’s yoga.
Laurence Turner –
Thank you so much for such a heartfelt testimonial Michael. You are a fabulous Children Yoga Teacher 🙂 All the best and can’t wait it hear your news as your classes get going.

Laurence has put together a really well thought out, and in depth but accessible course. She has always got back to any questions, check ins, or coursework hand ins from me really speedily and with loads of great information and constructive feedback based on her own experience. I really enjoyed completing the course, and I am looking forward to starting my timetabled yoga classes at the school I work in, starting after Easter! Thank you so much Laurence!

Sioux Waller –
The Yogamoo Children’s TT Course is brilliant. The online training platform is really clear to follow and has so much information relating not only to yoga, but child development, what you will need to teach in schools, mindfulness practices and class plans for a full school year, even after I had completed each module I found myself going back to read sections again. The ‘Check In’ tasks at the end of each module are great as they confirm your knowledge of that module are able to apply the skills from that section in class. Laurence’s feedback from each module, and after the final class assessment, are great as she gives you little tips she has used before to help you and also shares new ideas once she has seen your work/class plans that you can add to your future classes. I loved doing the course and not only has it helped with teaching the children in school, but has also helped bring a more light hearted approach to my adult classes. Thanks Laurence
Laurence Turner –
Love this Sioux, I am so grateful that your studying has been having such a transformational impact on your teaching across the board. You are absolutely right, teaching Children Yoga does bring Light and Joy to teaching Yoga, and is it not what it is all about. You worked hard with deadline and I cant wait to hear how successful this programme is going to be in your school.

I have just finished my childrens yoga course with Laurence and I’m really glad that I did it. The course is well structured and the online platform is easy to use. There are learning check-ins with feedback throughout the stages to keep you engaged.

Hi Lawrence,
Just letting you know I completed a trial yoga session yesterday.
I asked the head teacher at my sons school and she allowed me to host 8 children in the hall. As it was volunteered base I didn’t need insurance or first aid. The head teacher was present. I also had the parents sign permission forms.
I was able to practice from your material and it was really successful so thank you for the support.
The head teacher was very enthusiastic about so it may be something I could hold in the summer after school once I have my first aid, insurance and completed this course.
I have yet to send in my modules to you but I am working on it and thinking a lot about lesson plans and yoga benefits for children so I am very excited by it all.
The children were very receptive which was great. In the playground this morning there was one little boy showing his poses in the playground.
Many thanks, Ellie
Laurence Turner –
Hi Ellie
This is such a wonderful message to read. Welldone you to organise it all, you did so well.
Practice is everything and you will learn so much through the teaching process. it is also exciting and rewarding. So pleased you felt the material was spot on!
Brilliant to get your headteacher’s support!

Hi Laurence,
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and encouragement!.
I am enjoying the course so much and my head is in a spin with so many different ideas I would like to try but sometimes there just isn’t enough hours in the day! It is helpful working as a TA and our literacy curriculum this year is Traditional Tales so I have had so much inspiration and find myself mentally adapting every tale into a Yoga Story! ♀️ I’ve also been working in Reception on and off so have had quite a few ideas for that age group too (as in the Superhero theme I used).
Thanks once again for all your professional advice and I will be in touch soon with my final coursework.
Have a great weekend. Kind regards, Mary
Laurence Turner –
It is fantastic Mary to see that you are so confident already with Yoga Stories and that you are just as enthusiastic as I am to bring Yoga into schools and helping children understand more about themselves. I can’t wait for your final assessment on Zoom 🙂

I chose this course after looking at a few Laurence turner is a wonderful teacher full of knowledge and quick to return answers to any queries. The course is at your own pace and at first I was worried was I doing it correctly but after sending in my first module I realised that if it wasn’t quite right Laurence would guide me in the correct direction. Even though I have done yoga for a few years I still found great ideas and help in children’s yoga teacher training and by the end feel confident and knowledgeable to teach children yoga. I would recommend this course to anybody who wants to teach children’s yoga. THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!

This course is absolute quality!! There are many online but often you just get a pile of downloadable docs and you’re done. At Yogamoo I found the quality and assistance I was looking for. The teacher is always available for any little doubt, responds in no time with constructive and hands-on feedbacks. The material is excellent, the videos are extremely useful, and once you have reached the end of the course you realise how every little piece was put together with logic, knowledge and experience. This course is one of the best things I’ve done in my life!. After years of teaching English to speakers of other languages I decided to embark in this new adventure, offering yoga classes together with some English language. Thank you Laurence!

Magdalena –
I had a beautiful journey learning about yoga for children! Laurence is extremely helpful and able to identify individual learning targets: with Laurence support I developed confidence to lead wide range of children classes and learnt more about yoga principles, postures and mindfulness techniques. The course exceeded my expectation and helped me grow as a school teacher. I am very excited to start our school adventure with Yoga and I feel blessed being able to contribute to children’s wellbeing and practice regular yoga sessions. After such a difficult last year, full of uncertainty, our school decided to focus more on helping children working on positive attitudes, resilience and stress management. While thinking about the ways how to improve the children experiences I came across YogaMoo advert and, after reading a bit about the course, I knew this is what our school is looking for. There is no right words to describe how grateful I feel for all the materials, kindness and support I received from Laurence. I am positive that our children will hugely benefit from yoga classes.
Thank you

I had the best experience achieving my certificate in teaching children’s yoga with Yogamoo. The course was well set out and really interesting with lots of materials to learn from, such as videos and example classes. Laurence was always super helpful and easy to contact with lots of tips and tricks from her own experiences. One of the best aspects of this course was the relaxed, friendly nature of it, combined still with the professional and structured layout.

I have recently obtained my certificate to teach children’s yoga through Yogamoo. I was initially daunted by the idea of learning online, having had the intentions at the start of the year to undertake the in person course in the summer. However my worries were unfounded, the course material is extremely detailed and easy to follow – with a mix of reading, writing and practical observation via video. Having practiced yoga myself for almost 20 years I knew my practical experience was strong however I lacked the clarity and knowledge to teach in a child friendly way. The course provides in depth knowledge in how to develop budding yogis covering mindfulness, core poses and how to teach these in an enjoyable and fun way. Learning online also enabled me to learn at my own pace, which was of benefit in this changeable year. Laurence has also been incredibly supportive, and remains so even though I have passed. I really couldn’t recommend learning with Yogamoo enough.

I’m delighted to say I have just passed my Children’s Yoga Teacher Training with Yogamoo. I found the online course very informative and easily to follow. I have been able to study at my own pace and have been supported by Laurence every step of the way. The course is structured to cover everything you need to plan and teach the live children’s classes. The course material covers information such as asana’s and mindfulness suitable for children, yoga principles to weave into the classes and a full academic years class plan, so once you are qualified you can start teaching immediately. This course also provides a practical insight into how yoga can be linked to the school curriculum and how to approach schools to offer your classes. There is a mixture of video’s, audio’s and written information so something for everyone depending on your learning style. I have completed other children’s physical activity and yoga courses but I have found this course the most insightful in the delivery of a fun and engaging children yoga practice.

Michael Salmon –
I was first drawn to Yoga Moo whilst looking for a children’s Yoga course due to its name, to add some context I have always been called Moo Moo or Uncle Moo by my family, so this felt like the perfect course to start my yoga journey with. I know people always say that you should not pick something based on a nice name or a fun-shaped bottle, however, I was definitely not disappointed in any way the course turned out to be the perfect fit.
Laurence from the beginning very friendly, professional, and approachable and she still continues to be a support even after passing my qualification. Every time I needed to find a form or to get an update on where I was in my qualification I would email her and get a prompt response. Being neurodivergent can mean often I overload myself or forget what I am doing and when. Laurence made me feel comfortable enough to talk to her about it and then she was able to support me in the way that I needed to support my learning style.
As well as this the learning platform is very easily accessible with a great miss of learning material, from audio recordings to written text and even little videos. This blended learning with a task at the end of each module really helped solidify what the module taught.
I have and would highly recommend this course for anyone wishing to start out in the fun world of children’s yoga.
Laurence Turner –
Thank you so much for such a heartfelt testimonial Michael. You are a fabulous Children Yoga Teacher 🙂 All the best and can’t wait it hear your news as your classes get going.
Amanda E MacRae –
I am now a Qualified Children’s Yoga Teacher with thanks to this amazing course lead by Laurence Turner at Yogamoo. I found this course to be so inspiring and empowering.i am so excited to use this in my community to help our children find Balance and Coordination and to encourage them in choosing life skills that will benefit them.
So grateful for this opportunity and Laurence was always there for guidance if needed and the feedback was exactly what I needed aswell. Brilliant course, brilliant experience. I highly recommend this to anyone who works with children and wants to influence better choices in this modern culture.
Laurence Turner –
Hi Amanda, thank you for your encouraging and inspiring comments. You made it look easy, completing one module after the other and taking your final assessment in 8 weeks. Very well done. I look forward to hearing how your teaching goes at your school. Please keep in touch x
Raha Razin –
Laurence is the kind of educator who is really invested in her students’ growth and is generous with her time and thoughtful feedback. The course is very well structured, with clear modules and assignments that make sense and challenge you in different ways. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to teach children’s yoga – you’ll get an extensive education which covers not only the physical but the mental and spiritual.
Laurence Turner –
Thank you so much Raha, it has been a pleasure to meet you and I wish you the very best!
Sara –
Laurence has put together a really well thought out, and in depth but accessible course. She has always got back to any questions, check ins, or coursework hand ins from me really speedily and with loads of great information and constructive feedback based on her own experience. I really enjoyed completing the course, and I am looking forward to starting my timetabled yoga classes at the school I work in, starting after Easter! Thank you so much Laurence!
Laurence Turner –
Hi Sara, thank you and I look forward to hearing all about your success, it’s rewarding to pass on valuable life skills from Yoga and Mindfulness to primary school teachers like yourself who go on and touch so many young lives. Very best wishes with it all.

Hi Laurence,
Please see my 2nd lesson plan and reflection attached.
I took a year 2 class for PE today and it went SO well!! I really enjoyed myself and the kids had a lot of fun too.

Laurence Turner –
Brilliant, having fun is such an important aspect of the class. It is what will keep the children coming back to the class.
Sioux Waller –
The Yogamoo Children’s TT Course is brilliant. The online training platform is really clear to follow and has so much information relating not only to yoga, but child development, what you will need to teach in schools, mindfulness practices and class plans for a full school year, even after I had completed each module I found myself going back to read sections again. The ‘Check In’ tasks at the end of each module are great as they confirm your knowledge of that module are able to apply the skills from that section in class.
Laurence’s feedback from each module, and after the final class assessment, are great as she gives you little tips she has used before to help you and also shares new ideas once she has seen your work/class plans that you can add to your future classes.
I loved doing the course and not only has it helped with teaching the children in school, but has also helped bring a more light hearted approach to my adult classes.
Thanks Laurence
Laurence Turner –
Love this Sioux, I am so grateful that your studying has been having such a transformational impact on your teaching across the board. You are absolutely right, teaching Children Yoga does bring Light and Joy to teaching Yoga, and is it not what it is all about. You worked hard with deadline and I cant wait to hear how successful this programme is going to be in your school.
Catriona Robertson –
I have just finished my childrens yoga course with Laurence and I’m really glad that I did it. The course is well structured and the online platform is easy to use. There are learning check-ins with feedback throughout the stages to keep you engaged. Laurence is knowledgeable and supportive, and also very available and easy to get hold of in between contact with her. The final assessment isn’t intimidating at all, and I feel very equipped to start teaching as soon as possible. I would definitely recommend this course.
Catriona Robertson –
This was a really good course which suited my needs perfectly. The online student platform is easy to use and has a good structure to it. There are learning check ins along the way to keep you engaged, and Laurence is very supportive, knowledgeable, and easy to contact throughout the self study. The final assessment is very relaxed and not intimidating at all. I am going to be teaching my first block of kids yoga next week and really looking forward to seeing where it goes. Many thanks to you Laurence
Laurence Turner –
Fantastic Catriona, I am SO pleased to hear it. All the best with your classes, your students will love them. Please keep in touch.
Laurence Turner –
Thank you so much for your useful comments, it really helps new students make up their mind about training. And we need More Children Yoga Teachers!
Best Wishes-Laurence

Ellie Jonathan –
Hi Lawrence,
Just letting you know I completed a trial yoga session yesterday.
I asked the head teacher at my sons school and she allowed me to host 8 children in the hall. As it was volunteered base I didn’t need insurance or first aid. The head teacher was present. I also had the parents sign permission forms.
I was able to practice from your material and it was really successful so thank you for the support.
The head teacher was very enthusiastic about so it may be something I could hold in the summer after school once I have my first aid, insurance and completed this course.
I have yet to send in my modules to you but I am working on it and thinking a lot about lesson plans and yoga benefits for children so I am very excited by it all.
The children were very receptive which was great. In the playground this morning there was one little boy showing his poses in the playground.
Many thanks,
Ellie
Laurence Turner –
Hi Ellie
This is such a wonderful message to read. Welldone you to organise it all, you did so well.
Practice is everything and you will learn so much through the teaching process. it is also exciting and rewarding. So pleased you felt the material was spot on!
Brilliant to get your headteacher’s support!
Yes please do also go through the modules and feel free to send me your assignemnts as you do them.
Thank you
Laurence
Helen –
Thank you so much Laurence it’s been such a valuable experience doing this course. It’s aloud me to go back to why I fell in love with yoga in the first place. Thank you the guidance and support you have shown me every step of the way. Can’t wait now to go and show the children in my school my yoga classes. Thank you so much again
Laurence Turner –
Hi Helen, thank you, that is so lovely and congratulations on your excellent final assessment in just 8 weeks. You worked hard and delivered a very strong class, including all the elements that you learned on the course. Super work 🙂 Please keep in touch
Mary Elsworth –
Hi Laurence,
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and encouragement!.
I am enjoying the course so much and my head is in a spin with so many different ideas I would like to try but sometimes there just isn’t enough hours in the day! It is helpful working as a TA and our literacy curriculum this year is Traditional Tales so I have had so much inspiration and find myself mentally adapting every tale into a Yoga Story! ♀️ I’ve also been working in Reception on and off so have had quite a few ideas for that age group too (as in the Superhero theme I used).
Thanks once again for all your professional advice and I will be in touch soon with my final coursework.
Have a great weekend.
Kind regards,
Mary
Laurence Turner –
It is fantastic Mary to see that you are so confident already with Yoga Stories and that you are just as enthusiastic as I am to bring Yoga into schools and helping children understand more about themselves. I can’t wait for your final assessment on Zoom 🙂
Ann Marie Redmond –
I chose this course after looking at a few Laurence turner is a wonderful teacher full of knowledge and quick to return answers to any queries. The course is at your own pace and at first I was worried was I doing it correctly but after sending in my first module I realised that if it wasn’t quite right Laurence would guide me in the correct direction. Even though I have done yoga for a few years I still found great ideas and help in children’s yoga teacher training and by the end feel confident and knowledgeable to teach children yoga. I would recommend this course to anybody who wants to teach children’s yoga. THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!
Laurence Turner –
Ah…Thank you so much Ann-Marie, It was a pleasure to meet you and work with you. The children will love your classes :-). Keep in touch!
Erika –
This course is absolute quality!! There are many online but often you just get a pile of downloadable docs and you’re done. At Yogamoo I found the quality and assistance I was looking for. The teacher is always available for any little doubt, responds in no time with constructive and hands-on feedbacks. The material is excellent, the videos are extremely useful, and once you have reached the end of the course you realise how every little piece was put together with logic, knowledge and experience. This course is one of the best things I’ve done in my life!. After years of teaching English to speakers of other languages I decided to embark in this new adventure, offering yoga classes together with some English language. Thank you Laurence!
Laurence Turner –
Thank you so much Erika for your invaluable commments, I really appreciate it. Wonderful to have met you and wishing you the very best in Switzerland with your Children Yoga classes with the Linguistic element 🙂
Magdalena –
I had a beautiful journey learning about yoga for children! Laurence is extremely helpful and able to identify individual learning targets: with Laurence support I developed confidence to lead wide range of children classes and learnt more about yoga principles, postures and mindfulness techniques.
The course exceeded my expectation and helped me grow as a school teacher.
I am very excited to start our school adventure with Yoga and I feel blessed being able to contribute to children’s wellbeing and practice regular yoga sessions.
After such a difficult last year, full of uncertainty, our school decided to focus more on helping children working on positive attitudes, resilience and stress management. While thinking about the ways how to improve the children experiences I came across YogaMoo advert and, after reading a bit about the course, I knew this is what our school is looking for.
There is no right words to describe how grateful I feel for all the materials, kindness and support I received from Laurence.
I am positive that our children will hugely benefit from yoga classes.
Thank you
Laurence Turner –
Thank you Magdalena and your school is lucky to have you. It is fantastic to hear that you will now teach Yoga and Mindfulness to every child in your school from pre-school to Year 6. Wow !
Robyn –
I had the best experience achieving my certificate in teaching children’s yoga with Yogamoo. The course was well set out and really interesting with lots of materials to learn from, such as videos and example classes. Laurence was always super helpful and easy to contact with lots of tips and tricks from her own experiences. One of the best aspects of this course was the relaxed, friendly nature of it, combined still with the professional and structured layout. Thank you Laurence for all your help, I can’t wait to get started teaching!
Laurence Turner –
Thank you for your kind comments Robyn and many Congratulations on teaching a really well thought-out lesson plan for your final practical assessment. Such great timing for school clubs opening next month! Good luck with your classes
Madga –
Dear Laurence,
Thank you for today. The course structure looks well planned and extensive- which is what I have been looking for. I have done research prior enrollment and I am happy with my choice.
I am even more excited.
Adeline –
I’ve just completed a Yoga Alliance accredited Children Yoga Teacher training with Yogamoo. Laurence is a very knowledgeable and reliable professional. The course was really well designed and the content was thoroughly thought through. Laurence was always available to answer questions, give feedback or simply have a chat when there was a specific point I wanted to clarify. She’s always approachable and a pleasure to exchange with.
Joanna –
I have recently completed the children’s yoga teacher training course with Laurence and highly recommend it to anyone considering.
I enjoyed working my way through the modules and completed the course feeling confident that I had all the skills needed to start teaching yoga to children straight away.
Laurence is very approachable and has a genuine interest in your development – she answered any questions I had in depth and without delay.
Thank you Laurence!
Jeanne Mohamed –
Fantastic training I had with Laurence! It brought me so much in terms of knowledge but also confidence into my teaching skills. Very practical class, I truly recommend Laurence’s training for everyone who wants to teach yoga to children. Laurence is a dedicated, very supportive teacher and has a very good sense of pedagogy.
Lucy Franko –
Hi Laurence,
As you know I have worked at school in different positions for over 4 years. I used to work in the office, I was an after school club manager and KS1 and KS2 TA.
I just wanted to let you know how much I adore your way of teaching and to say I’m so glad I went with you.
The way you designed your lessons really works in a school environment and gets the children excited and interested.
Best wishes
Lucy
Laurence Turner –
With your experience in schools and education, this means a lot Lucy, thank you so much for saying it! I am really excited for you.
Laura Hebden –
I have recently obtained my certificate to teach children’s yoga through Yogamoo. I was initially daunted by the idea of learning online, having had the intentions at the start of the year to undertake the in person course in the summer. However my worries were unfounded, the course material is extremely detailed and easy to follow – with a mix of reading, writing and practical observation via video. Having practiced yoga myself for almost 20 years I knew my practical experience was strong however I lacked the clarity and knowledge to teach in a child friendly way. The course provides in depth knowledge in how to develop budding yogis covering mindfulness, core poses and how to teach these in an enjoyable and fun way. Learning online also enabled me to learn at my own pace, which was of benefit in this changeable year. Laurence has also been incredibly supportive, and remains so even though I have passed. I really couldn’t recommend learning with Yogamoo enough.
Laurence Turner –
Congratulations in achieving your Certificate as a Children Yoga Teacher. You worked really hard and produced great quality work all the way through. Very well done ! I am looking forward to following you as you spread your wings further and further :0)
Kelsey Taylor –
I’m delighted to say I have just passed my Children’s Yoga Teacher Training with Yogamoo. I found the online course very informative and easily to follow. I have been able to study at my own pace and have been supported by Laurence every step of the way. The course is structured to cover everything you need to plan and teach the live children’s classes. The course material covers information such as asana’s and mindfulness suitable for children, yoga principles to weave into the classes and a full academic years class plan, so once you are qualified you can start teaching immediately. This course also provides a practical insight into how yoga can be linked to the school curriculum and how to approach schools to offer your classes. There is a mixture of video’s, audio’s and written information so something for everyone depending on your learning style.
I have completed other children’s physical activity and yoga courses but I have found this course the most insightful in the delivery of a fun and engaging children yoga practice.
Laurence Turner –
Fantastic Kelsey, it has been such a pleasure to work alongside you on this course, and to get to meet you. All the very best with your children yoga classes, you are a fabulous teacher, feel free to contact me always :0)
