Train with us because…
Besides also being known as
‘The Really Really Cool Yoga School’:
East of England Yoga School is a hands-on, down-to-earth Yoga Teacher Training Centre that brings together the diverse experience of our tutors, to offer a ‘multi-style’ course that will allow you to experience different yoga styles and ideas, and find your niche as a confident, professional yoga teacher.
We have been training students since 2007, originally as ChillOut Yoga Teacher Training (CYTT) run by Brenda -first in Scotland and then in Suffolk. To date Brenda has introduced over 80 CYTeachers to the world of yoga teaching: some trained to further their own practice, most have gone on to teach amazing and diverse classes, some have opened yoga studios and run retreats. For more information on these courses, click here.
Brenda teamed up with Laurence and Ali in 2019 to become East of England Yoga School and has since handed over the reins to Laurence, who now directs the courses.
East of England Yoga School is registered with Yoga Alliance Professionals UK (YAP), which assures you are receiving high quality and professional tutoring. Both Brenda and Laurence are Senior Yoga Teachers with YAP, and Brenda is a Yoga Elder with the Independent Yoga Network. Together, the three of us have over 12 000 hours teaching yoga – so plenty of experience that we willingly share with you.
Our Multi Style Training is Personalised For You
Being a yoga teacher is not about how flexible you are, your size, your beliefs, your age, legging design or how ‘perfect’ you look in an asana.
The yoga you enjoy practicing is a personal choice, and at East of England Yoga School, we encourage you to develop your own individual and unique approach of teaching, in a ‘style’ that resonates with you.
Your focus may be meditation and mantra or Vinyasa; Chair Yoga or Restorative; perhaps bringing aspects of western movement and body work into your classes… or a combination of different styles.
Our Experienced Teachers Are Here For You
Between Brenda, Laurence and Ali, we have over 12 000 hours of teaching yoga.
Our commitment to small group sizes means that you get dedicated guidance and instruction, so you don’t become a cardboard cut-out yoga teacher. We assist and guide you on your teaching path, giving you the tools, knowledge and practice for you to develop your own style and find your own voice. You will become the confident, individual and effective professional yoga teacher that you want to be.
Your Practice Will Never be The Same
Our courses are a wonderful opportunity to delve into yourself: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually – a potentially life changing experience. As you open doors to new experiences, we are there for support and mentoring.
We motivate you to explore, develop, deepen and refine your personal practice, so you will teach safely from your own knowledge and experience.
We are Affiliated with Yoga Alliance UK
This means you can rest assured that our course has met high standards & has all requirements for Yoga Alliance UK registered training, For more info about what being part of the Yoga Alliance means, see our Accreditation Page.

Course Overview.
This is a comprehensive, affordable course with 180 contact hours with us and our guest tutors. There is Plenty of teaching practice, self practice, theory, practical skills, sharing of experiences, and a lot of laughter – which doesn’t mean we don’t take our subjects seriously!
We believe it is important for all our students to feel looked after and cared for, so we accept a maximum of 10 students per course, which gives each student individual attention. Often deep friendships blossom from the trainings, some which may stay with you for many years.
The venue for our course is the Old School Studio in beautiful Long Melford, on the Suffolk / Essex border.
Course Content.
Our course is built around the four core concepts of yoga; Breath, awareness, movement, & rest. We will cover the following topics*
Yoga Asana & Movement.
Anatomy & Physiology.
Teaching Methodology.
Yoga History & Philosophy.
Bandhas & Kriya.
Breath & Pranayama.
Yoga Nidra & Relaxation.
Meditation, Mantra, & Mudra.
Yoga Business skills.
Personal Development.
*Every course is different, and the needs of you as a student will always dictate how and what we teach. Our syllabus is adaptable, which means that we focus on giving you understanding and confidence as a teacher rather than ticking off a checklist of ideas without fully understanding them.

A Few Testimonials.
“I loved the way each student was encouraged to find their own niche/style through an amazing balance of inspirational teaching, guided and personal exploration/creativity/ & encouragement. As we worked our way through various themes, stages and seasons, the course took on its own identity, and evolved into an amazing and unique combination of individuals working together as a cohesive organism, all moving forwards, learning, exploring and becoming stronger. A life-changing experience.”
“For me it has been a deeply spiritual journey and one I am eternally grateful for. My journey has only just begun. As a result of this course I am learning to get to know myself better, and have cultivated more self-compassion. The bond within the group has been lovely and I think we have worked well together because we are all so unique and teach so differently. I loved the combination of the 3 teachers and each teacher played a valuable part and inspired each and every one of us.”
“Brenda has been a breath of fresh air to my yoga practice. Brenda’s teaching style encourages self exploration and reflection, letting go of the ego and sinking into your own unique yoga practice. The Teacher Training Course has been amazing, every weekend has brought new learning, perspectives and nuggets of wisdom. The Yoga studio is welcoming and decorated with inspiring pictures and quotes. Exploring, learning, discussing and moving with Brenda, Ali, Laurence and fellow trainee teachers, in this nurturing and supportive environment, has been wonderful. I would recommend contacting EoEYS to find out more about future courses and current yoga classes. Brenda, Laurence and Ali – thank you for your ongoing support, wisdom and understanding.”
