Student Review
"Laura is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever come across in any field and exudes tons of passion for what she does; which is evident in how she talks about and teaches this practice.
You will learn more than you may even be able to handle, but will come out of it feeling confident to teach right away, which is rare in my personal experience!
There is a lot of knowledge and insight to be shared, but be prepared to act like a complete fool! It is the most fun if you throw your full child heart into it without a care for how ridiculous you will look... and you will.. but it’s totally worth it!
Enjoy yourself and the experience for all it has to offer!"
- Jessica. Children's Social Worker

This training isn’t just a professional development course—it’s a powerful investment in yourself.
Yes, you’ll walk away with a globally recognised Yoga Alliance certificate and practical skills to confidently teach children’s yoga. But beyond that, you’ll gain your own toolkit for managing stress, reconnecting to play and supporting your own mental and emotional well-being. You’ll deepen your personal practice, reignite your creativity, and become part of an open-minded, supportive global community.
Many of our trainees say this is one of the most positive and transformational experiences they’ve ever had. It’s like a retreat, a training and a new beginning all in one.
This is a journey that nourishes you long after the plane ride home.
This training is designed for both yoga teachers who want to expand their careers into children’s yoga, as well as educators, therapists, parents and anyone passionate about sharing yoga, mindfulness, mental health and emotional well-being with children and teens. Whether you’re looking to deepen your impact, diversify your teaching, or bring meaningful well-being tools to the young people you support, this training will equip you with everything you need.
You don’t need any previous experience teaching yoga or working with children—I’ll guide you through everything step-by-step.
While many of our trainees are already yoga teachers or professionals in education and child-related fields, this course welcomes anyone with an open heart and a genuine desire to support children’s well-being.
Trainees consistently finish the training feeling confident, inspired, and ready to teach. Many arrive thinking they’ll only share yoga with their own families—but leave feeling motivated and equipped to bring these practices into schools, studios, therapy settings, and their wider communities.
The 95-hour training is a globally recognised Yoga Alliance certification that gives you everything you need to teach professionally and meaningfully, anywhere in the world.

And because we want you to leave this training already in motion, we dedicate a full workshop at the end of training, to getting you clear, focused, and taking aligned action—so by the time you leave, you’ll have already taken confident steps toward setting up your children’s yoga classes and business before returning home.
Sample Day on Training
Early morning: If you're an early bird you'll love cycling through the vibrant greenery first thing, on a guided tour of the forest. If you prefer a gentle wake-up, you can soak in the calm and quiet of a meditation or breathwork class.
After breakfast: You'll explore playful, energising and meaningful workshops, balancing professional growth with personal rejuvenation — learning, laughing and connecting with like-minded individuals as you learn about yoga for children and teens.
Lunch: Enjoy a fusion of local flavors and healthy international cuisine at one of the beautiful restaurants. Take time to relax in the hot springs, have a spa treatment or read your book by the pool.
Afternoon: Explore more nourishing workshops, as we delve into restorative yoga, nature-based meditations, mandala art and nurturing well-being practices for children and teens.
Evenings: Continuing your soul-nourishing experience with a dip in the 8-step onsen spa + natural hot springs; a sound healing journey or visit the farm and deer garden.
A truly holistic experience, combining expert teacher training with immersive wellness, nature and mindful self-care.

Student Review
"I gave one of Laura's free courses a go and I was hooked! I learned so much in that 45 minutes that I couldn’t wait for more.
I completed Laura’s 95-Hour yoga course; the course was interactive, soooo informative, fun and I met the most amazing people on it. I felt completely ready to teach yoga to children and have been doing so online for the last three weeks.
The training didn’t stop at the end of the course. Laura is available to answer questions we have, give advice and support us whenever we need it.
I would highly recommend any/all of Laura’s courses, you won’t be disappointed".

Meet Laura
Founder & Lead Teacher
I’m Laura - yoga teacher, educator and founder of Divine Light Yoga, which I created over ten years ago with a vision to bring therapeutic, nurturing and truly supportive yoga to children, families, and the educators who care for them. With over 25-years of experience working with children, including my early career as an international school teacher, I bring a unique blend of educational insight, therapeutic yoga, and playful mindfulness into everything I offer.
I now live in Hong Kong, though my work has taken me across the world—leading trainings, collaborating with schools, and supporting educators across Asia, Europe, and beyond. My approach is practical, evidence-based and science-backed, designed to be both effortless to use and deeply impactful. At the heart of everything I teach is a commitment to holistic, compassionate care—combining therapeutic techniques, creative movement, and emotional support in a way that feels accessible, playful and profoundly nurturing.
Whether I’m mentoring teachers, leading a workshop or creating new resources, my mission remains the same: to support others in sharing yoga in a way that’s authentic, mindful, and truly child-centred.
