Teacher training reviews
Here are what some of our students have said about our training courses
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lara Rodwell
I completed my 40-hour Teen Yoga Teacher Training. As always, I cannot recommend BEAM Academy enough. I’ve completed three trainings with them now, and all have been friendly, professional and personable.
The content of the Teens Training, in particular, was covered to an exemplary standard. For example, the unit on Partner Poses was thoughtfully done, considering it was online too.
Can’t wait for the next training!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Alice Warren
I completed the Teen Yoga Teacher Training with BEAM ACADEMY and felt supported from the first module. The eight module structure gave me a clear path. I learned how to plan warm ups, breathing work, postures, and relaxation for teens. I liked the mix of theory and practice. The accreditation from Yoga Alliance gave me confidence in the quality of the training.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
James Rowley
I used the four starter class plans straight after finishing the course. They helped me teach my first sessions with a youth group. The guidance on managing mixed energy levels in a teen class was practical. The trainer offered direct feedback during live sessions, which helped me improve quickly. The ongoing access to resources made it easier to build my own plans.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sophie Patel
I joined the course with no previous teaching background. I appreciated the clear explanations and the practical layout of each module. I learned how to create sessions that keep teens engaged. The section on safeguarding and communication skills helped me feel ready to work in schools and clubs. The certificate made it easier to approach local organisations.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Daniel Harris
The module on themed classes helped me create sessions that teens relate to. I liked how the course linked physical practice with simple mindfulness activities. I used the relaxation scripts during my first class and they worked well. The training made me feel prepared rather than overwhelmed.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nicki Johnson
I chose BEAM ACADEMY because I wanted flexible study. The live online format fit my schedule. I enjoyed the small group sessions and the chance to ask questions. I learned how to adapt poses for different abilities. I also learned how to build safe and inclusive classes for ages thirteen to eighteen.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nicki Johnson
The course content felt practical. I liked the real examples of teen class challenges and how to handle them. The resources in the training helped me plan my first six weeks of lessons. I now feel confident leading sessions at my local community centre.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Elena Hammod
I found the training clear and structured. The mix of yoga foundations, teen development, and class planning gave me a complete toolkit. The teaching on sequencing helped me create smooth transitions in my classes. I also learned how to guide simple breathwork in a safe way.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jenna McKenzie
I used the training to set up a small weekly teen class. The teens responded well to the grounding activities I learned. The focus on communication and clarity made a real difference. I felt prepared from the moment I received my certificate. The course gave me skills I can use straight away.
