Laura Gilmore Yoga Avis 13

I am currently studying menopause yoga online which is broken down into easily digestible chunks. The course content is rich with lots of practical videos and demonstrations as well as written materials to help cement the learning. Laura herself is clearly very knowledgeable which comes across in all teachings with depth.

I trained with Laura on the 200hr Hatha and Restorative Course and subsequently on the 40hr Creative Sequencing and two online courses - Adapting and adjusting and Empowered Menopause. Every training has been FANTASTIC! In-depth, accessible, inspiring AND practical, learning that transfers so well to real life situations. The pace of the 200hr was great - very thorough across the year and the extra courses have really helped me build more confidence in specific areas (once I'd starting teaching and looked at more areas to support my specific students). The flexibility of the online learning has been so helpful and not compromised on depth or quality.

I had a fantastic experience on the Bristol School of Yoga 200YTT in Vinyasa and Yin. The course materials were incredibly useful and thoughtfully put together, and the teaching was consistently insightful and inspiring. The instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The building itself is beautiful and created such a calm, welcoming learning environment. Clear instructions throughout the course made everything easy to follow and well structured. I’d highly recommend this training to anyone looking for a high-quality yoga teacher training.

Halfway through the 200-hour Hatha and Restorative Yoga Teacher Training at Laura Gilmore Bristol School of Yoga, I already feel incredibly blessed and grateful to be part of this journey. What this training offers goes so far beyond anything I imagined when I signed up.

The course is rich and wide-ranging, covering yoga history and philosophy alongside anatomy, biology, neuroscience, physiology, chanting, and so much more — all held in a way that feels grounded, accessible, and deeply human. Every weekend leaves me feeling nourished, challenged, and inspired in equal measure.

What makes this experience so special, though, is the connection. Sharing this space and journey with Laura Gilmore, the other teachers, and my fellow trainees has been incredibly meaningful. There’s so much care, generosity, and authenticity in the way this training is held, creating a real sense of safety and belonging — honestly, it makes me want it to go on forever.

At a point in my life when I needed it most, this training has arrived as a real gift. I already know this experience will stay with me long after the course ends, and I feel so grateful to be walking this path alongside such genuine, wonderful people.

I am about half way through the Hatha and restorative YTT with Laura and the team at BSY and I can already say that I never want it to end.
Because the course is founded in Laura’s immense experience and knowledge and very importantly is backed by research and science you have this unique feeling of a reassuringly thorough framework for the course. The further I delve into this wonderful world of yoga at a deeper level, the less I ever want to leave it! I have discovered an unexpected love of chanting, a fascination for Sanskrit and some beautiful connections with gorgeous people. Although the texts felt overwhelming to start with, the pace of the course introduces everything gradually so that eventually you find yourself voluntarily analysing themes across the texts and positioning it all on a timeline. For fun! It really is a life changing course, whatever you decide to do with it, and helps to answer some of life’s big questions. At a time of anxiety and uncertainty, the work of the course has offered me a container, a purpose and inspiration which has meant the first winter for as long as I can remember where the effects of SAD have been lessened. I wholeheartedly recommend getting stuck in!

I’ve studied yoga with Laura for many years and have completed both my 200hr and 300hr yoga teacher training as well as doing the in depth course and teaching an intro to yoga course all of which have been fantastic !!!! Highly recommend Laura, thank you for your wonderful teaching x

I did my 200-hour training at Bristol School of Yoga and jumped straight into teaching afterward — it gave me such a solid foundation and the confidence to start sharing yoga right away. I later came back for the advanced training, which really deepened everything and helped me refine how I teach. The whole experience was incredibly supportive and thoughtful, blending evidence-based learning with a respect for tradition, while also making space for important conversations around things like cultural appropriation. Now I feel like my yoga offerings are really flourishing, and I’m seeing the difference it’s making — while still learning all the time.

I did the 200hr vinyasa and yin yoga course last year and it was the best thing that I have done in a long time.

It gave me a great knowledge and experience in actual teaching and pathways that enabled me to already set up a great career in yoga teaching.

they offered me a support bursary as well as monthly payment plans that has helped me to pay of the course in my own time.

I am looking forward to returning for the 300 HR course in the future and delving deeper with the experienced teachers.

thanks again for all your support!

A really informative and well delivered course, simple instruction and explained really clearly with use of live demonstration and explanation. This course has really helped me add depth to my 200hr qualification and bring these learnings into my classes.

I'm coming towards the end of the 200 hour Hatha and Restorative Yoga Teacher Training. And that makes me so sad. I am going to miss going to a place that has become an engaging and safe space.

Since beginning the course, I have met so many outstanding teachers; each one has their own teaching style and ability to add something unique to the course. 

My fellow trainee yogis are now a group of best friends, and I'm sure I've met friends for life. 

The venue is beautiful and very easy to get to. There is even parking right outside which you can book with JustPark.

The course content is excellent, and the video resources we have been given access to provide a wealth of further information.

And lastly, Laura is a freaking rock star. She is a natural teacher - this is for sure her dharma. I know I am learning from the best, and that the authenticity and humour she brings to the course will stay with me as I begin my own journey into teaching. 5 stars any day of the week. 

I'm so so grateful that the universe brought this opportunity to me. 

Namaste

I absolutely loved my 300-hour training with Laura. The flexibility of having a mix of in-person and online sessions was perfect and allowed me to fit the training around my family life, which made such a difference.

The course itself was incredibly interesting and covered so many areas I’m passionate about. Laura’s teaching style is so relaxed, warm, and grounded – and you can genuinely feel her passion for yoga, which is completely contagious.

I gained so much from the experience, not just in knowledge but in confidence too. It helped me reconnect with how I like to teach and gave me permission to shift away from some of the things I’d picked up during my 200-hour training that didn’t quite sit right with me.

I’ve grown both in my practice and as a teacher, and I know there’s still so much more for me to explore – but I now feel excited and empowered to do so.

I highly recommend Laura’s training to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of yoga. I wouldn’t hesitate to train with her again in the future.
