Meet your trainer

Hi! I’m Holly, and I’m beyond excited to lead you through your 300 hour yoga teacher training.

I started teaching yoga in order to learn more about this practice that had crept quietly in to my life, reached out in to all my corners of stress, imposter syndrome, burning the candle at both ends and all the other things that we hear about so often, and had dampened them down to make life feel more wonderful. Initially I’d hoped to teach yoga to friends, now and again, and that was it. But somehow, six months after graduating, I was handing in my notice at my fun-but-very-imposter-syndromey job to teach yoga full time, and accepting I’d move back in with my mum if it all went awry.

Some two years later, I opened Yoga Hero, initially inviting yoga teachers to come and teach; either on the timetable if they were already pretty confident, or to work with me to build up their personal style (and build up their confidence in the process), which then evolved in to Yoga Hero’s highly respected 200 hour yoga teacher training.

I am extremely passionate about helping yoga teachers achieve their potential. I work with so many people who have the potential to transform lives, but they’re held back by self-doubt, by imposter syndrome (which I viscerally remember from my old job!) and by lack of confidence. Over the years of curating Yoga Hero’s 200 hour teacher training, I have realised that building confidence is an entirely practical process. It’s not “Come on, you can do it, I believe in you!”, but instead, a gentle, compounding, timely process of showing yourself; proving to yourself, that you can do it.

With that in mind, each module on our 300 hour yoga teacher training is carefully crafted and curated to continually show you, to prove to you, that you can teach evidence-based techniques. That you can explain the foundations of yoga philosophy. That you can build a sustainable yoga business, that nourishes you, too.

Over the years, I have done tons of research in to how people learn, and I’ve developed a style of teaching that takes potentially big, complicated subjects, like yoga philosophy, or neurobiology, and break them down into manageable chunks. Anything and everything that I truly believe that yoga teachers should know and understand is repeated, repeated, repeated. So you can be sure that when you join a module, you’ll graduate that module with instilled knowledge and the confidence to bring that knowledge in to your classes right away.

Aside from working alongside some very lovely and talented people at Yoga Hero, I’m a mum, a wife and proud owner of Doug the Pug. I love to travel, I love seeing friends perhaps over the odd beer and I love Formula 1.
