PDM QUOTES:
The Yoga for Schools training gave teachers and adults supporting learning in our School Sport Partnership the resources and skills they needed to set up Yoga classes in Primary and Secondary Schools. It is an excellent way to enhance the provision being offered to encourage Children to take up the 5 hour offer.

The mixture of PLTs and Secondary PE teachers all got something very valuable from the course. Many were very enthusiastic saying that they hadn’t realised that there was so much to yoga. Everyone felt that the pack and the approach were very useable both in a club and in curriculum time. A very enjoyable course to take part in also!’

“The course was great and perfect for teachers. It was delivered really well and the resource is excellent - It provides a clear structure for them to follow. It is excellent value for money and it would come highly recommended by me for both trainees and qualified teachers. With the changing face of PE I think it is such a useful tool for teachers to have and the resource is so easy to use. "

TEACHER QUOTES:
Our yoga in schools has gone from strength to strength all the teachers in the primary have had at least one course for their classes. We also ran a parent /child afterschool club which was highly successful and will be repeated. The high school has an after school club for yoga this has been used by students and teachers and for some it has been part of the physical section in the duke of Edinburgh award. Male and female pupils attend from various age groups. So as you can see the schools are making good use of the yoga factory. Parents approach me at school telling me how their daughters and sons look forward to the lessons. One boy told me during his relaxation time he had gone to heaven as his special place to visit his grandmother he wasn't at all upset he seemed quite happy that he'd been able to do this. The teachers are very supportive and even the head master has included a yoga zone in the new play ground design (this is a specialised wall chart painted on the building with various poses for the children to copy).
I’ve loved every minute of yoga in schools!

Very interesting course and most importantly a very different approach to a physical activity. The opportunity for choice is great with this activity.

We will add yoga into the curriculum as part of an exercise for fitness & health module and will also use as a club in middle & firsts schools. Brilliant.

I attended one of your yoga factory courses last year in Medway. Just wanted to say how much I loved it - thank you! I've been doing routines A and
B regularly and have noticed an improvement in my general well-being and physical appearance! I am starting a yoga club in my school next week, and am going to include it in my PE lessons this term. Wish I could teach yoga to children full-time!

I recently attended a yoga course. I thought it was well delivered, great atmosphere. The tutor was very approachable and gave clear precise instructions. As I am a tennis coach I feel it will enhance my lessons e.g. balance, co- ordination, relaxation skills, warm ups and cool downs. I left the course feeling very excited so a big thank you to Trish I can't wait to deliver it.

I attended your Yoga Factory course earlier this year and it was one of the most enjoyable and useful courses that I have been on. I have since used your programme with Yr11 students, who also found it enjoyable.

TEACHER QUOTES -COURSE 2:
Trish thank you so much for inviting me to join the MK teachers onthe yoga for school part 2 course. The last course provided me with the most valuable resource i own. for the 6 hours of my time with you, i am sure it has transferred into over a hundred hours of teaching time. I have no doubt that the follow up will be equally as well received.

I would just like to let you know how much I have used and enjoyed the resources that I was given from course 1. The children have enjoyed doing the yoga very much and it seems that the boys really get into it. We are planning to run a morning yoga club for all years 3-6 before the school day starts.I would like to say again that the yoga pack you gave us on the first course is one of the best resource packs I have been given.Thank you once again
