For as long as the courses are running you will have access. This is a special offer for the launch deal.

Within 14 days if its clear the course is not what you expected, email a written request & my team will process it with 7 working days.

These online courses are registered as CPD in the UK and for training in the US but you need live hours also to complete a 300hr training. 

If you register with my 300hr course you receive the online content for your 8 modules, AND real-time days- in studio/ on zoom + recordings. You need to attend at least 45 hours live, this includes the live-mentoring session with the movement science course & marketing course. This gives you a 500hr qualification recognised with YA in the UK & the US & ensures the highest quality of training.

On completing your course videos/ written downloads, you will be anle to download a certificate of completion. This counts towards the senior teacher certification.

The work I share is based on current research- to the best of my understanding/ that of the tutor. The movement science course is co-taught by Doctors/ Physios/ Movement scientists. I integrate this in all my teaching & into the yoga practice.

The Movement Science & Marketing course both have monthly mentoring sessions & hands-on guidance. All the other courses include Q&A as needed & I will continue to update resources.

For all courses, leave a message on the online platform & I will get right back to you! Or you can use the Facebook group to chat. (Please note: the Community Forum discussions are now in the Facebook group too).

I am committed to enabling and empowering students who have been affected by racism or those who are from marginalised communities. Acts of discrimination are not compatible with the practice of yoga. Therefore I offer bursaries on all my courses, specifically for those who have been affected by racism and discrimination.

Intensives mostly run 9:00am - 5:00pm.

See individual course pages for more details.

You can do a stand-alone intensive if it is in an area that interests you. You don’t have to be a yoga teacher and can take part in the intensive simply to deepen your own practice.

Please be aware, doing one intensive such as Yin does not mean you can do on to teach Yin. You would need to complete a 200hr training course to become a teacher.

Each intensive comes with a dedicated manual specific to that area of yoga. You will also receive a certificate of attendance.

Each intensive has a specific reading list. The key text(s) for each intensive are listed on the relevant page on this website.

You can either pay for the intensive in full once you have been accepted or you can pay a deposit followed by the remaining amount prior to the course starting. All payments for intensives must be received prior to the start of the course.

I work very much from the basis that everyone has their specific way to teach that suits them and that this will support them through their yoga teaching & there are so many different students - they don't need everything!

The way I teach the courses is with trauma sensitive principles. If someone is terrified to talk they don't have to. Or if on any specific session someone feels they can't do something they don't have to. It's your course. Everything is for you.

My name is Laura Gilmore, find out more about me and my experience.

I offer bursaries for some students, please see here for more information.

300hr module days mostly run 9:00am - 5:00pm.

See individual intensive/module pages for more details.

Know that you are enough! Don't question whether you should be there or whether you made the right choice. There could be many reasons why you feel this way such as your age, size, your yoga experience/knowledge or the amount of teaching you've done. Know you’ve been accepted on to the course and have met the criteria! Even though you may have completely different life and yoga experiences to your fellow trainees, know you are all there for the same reason - to learn and deepen your own practice, knowledge, experience and teaching. This training is all about sharing knowledge, evidence and experience, and your confidence will grow as this happens.

Trust the process. There is so much information to learn. Sometimes it can feel quite overwhelming. But Laura shares her knowledge, experience and teaching in such as an accessible way, with an injection of fun and humour along the way!  The course is ingeniously designed with an emphasis on experiential learning, along with consideration of different learning styles and gradual layering up of information. It almost feels like you’ve been learning by osmosis. Questions and open dialogue are actively encouraged to aid understanding. By the end of the course you will be pleasantly surprised how much you have learned. 

Be curious! You’ll be taken on an incredible journey throughout the course, learn new things about yourself, recognise old habits and random stuff may arise. In the words of Rumi’s poem, The Guest House – “welcome and entertain them all”. Embrace the experience with whatever comes up for you. Find what works for you. Journaling throughout the course can help, as well as reaching out to your fellow trainees and tutors.  LGY cultivate a kind and friendly community that stay connected and supportive long after the course has finished.

You can either pay for the course in full once you have been accepted or you can pay the deposit for the course followed by 10 monthly installments to complete payment.

We ask you to write a 5000-word essay on a topic of choice that is agreed with your course tutor.

The Advanced Training Course will broaden the range of teaching styles you are qualified and confident to teach, as well as deepen the way in which you teach them. The core modules enable you to teach Hatha and Vinyasa Flow yoga, and give an understanding of Restorative and Tantra Yoga & other related techniques:

Hatha Yoga

The whole course is experiential-based on hatha yoga practices, including asana, pranayama and meditation. We have time to understand the anatomy of the body in yoga asana, for both musculoskeletal wellbeing and implications of postures for all the body systems- neurological, digestive, endocrine, fascial and energetic or subtle body. As well as how postures relate to the mind and our felt experience of the body.

Vinyasa Flow

You will be adept at creating, teaching and adjusting vinyasa flow sequences.

Tantra Yoga

The “subtle body” aspects of yoga will be explored, which ties in with teaching of tantra yoga. But we will also experience how these practices, such as bandhas can support a strong asana practice such as vinyasa flow and Ashtanga vinyasa. As well as the mental focus for meditation.

Restorative yoga

There is some restorative yoga woven into the training days, giving you the basis to integrate this technique into your own teaching.

Chakra yoga

You will gain a deep understanding and your own personal experience of the chakras, so that you will be able to teach chakra yoga, either explicitly as a class, or to include the teachings in your hatha classes.

Mindfulness and meditation

Mindfulness is integral to the whole course- how to meet ourselves and each other. Specific mindfulness and meditation techniques are shared throughout the course, relevant to each module.

Absolutely. Some trainees find this is the perfect way to continue to learn and be supported into a really skillful, teacher from the outset. This advanced course puts you in such a good position relative to other teachers because the breadth and depth of knowledge you will achieve will be unsurpassed by other recently qualified teachers. In a year you will explore and learn what it might otherwise take you a lifetime.

It is a great way to continue to expand your knowledge and skills, any time you feel you need some fresh input or some nurture for yourself through your practice and study.

I work very much from the basis that everyone has their specific way to teach that suits them and that this will support them through their yoga teaching & there are so many different students - they don't need everything!

The way I teach the courses is with trauma sensitive principles. If someone is terrified to talk they don't have to. Or if on any specific session someone feels they can't do something they don't have to. It's your course. Everything is for you.
