Here is what the My Tribe graduates are saying about the course!
A Sanctuary of Growth and Self-Discovery
​Mel brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the 200-hour yoga teacher training.
Her teachings were not only about the physical asanas but delved into the philosophy and spirituality of yoga. Each class was a blend of traditional practices and modern insights, making the learning experience both enriching and enlightening.
Mel created a safe, supportive space where students are encouraged to grow, explore, and deepen their practice. Her approach is holistic, addressing not just the physical aspects of yoga but also the mental and emotional dimensions. The nurturing environment Mel created allowed me to flourish, to discover new strengths, and to find a deeper connection with myself.
The 200-hour yoga teacher training program was well designed and offered a perfect balance of structure and flexibility and set in a variety of studios that were welcoming and inspiring.
Throughout my training, Mel's nurturing energy was very evident. Her genuine care for her students was there in every interaction especially in her words of encouragement. She took the time to understand everyone’s unique needs and aspirations.
The curriculum of the 200-hour training program was comprehensive and thoughtfully crafted. It covered a wide range of topics, from anatomy and alignment to philosophy and ethics. Each module was designed to build on the previous one, creating a cohesive and progressive learning journey.
My experience with Mel and My Tribe Yoga Training has been so positive. The skills and knowledge I gained have equipped me to teach with confidence and compassion. The training has deepened my own yoga practice and given me a sense of gratitude and a renewed passion for yoga.
I cannot recommend Mel and My Tribe Yoga Training enough for anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and take the next step in their teaching journey. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious beginner, Mel guidance will help you unlock your potential and discover the true essence of yoga. Her program is not just about becoming a yoga teacher; it is also about embarking on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

Allowed Me to Study Around My Job and Family
I’d been thinking about doing my 200 hours training for a while, but as a busy, working single mum I thought I’d never be able to find a course that would work with my schedule and childcare so pressed pause on the idea. The second I heard Mel explain the schedule of the My Tribe Training course I signed up immediately. The structure of the practicals and the fact the study was online made the impossible possible for me. The teaching content is so thorough and the way Mel embeds the learning as we go through group discussion and broken down smaller assignments meant I was never overwhelmed but I was learning tonnes at the same time. I feel confident to begin my teaching journey knowing this course has equipped me and supported me so well. Plus I’ve made some incredible friends… I really needed everything this course has brought into my life and I feel enormous gratitude for this chapter!

The Missing Piece of My Yoga Journey
Proud doesn't even scratch then surface. I was actually already qualified When I started with My Tribe. However, I did a course that simply scratched the surface and felt like just a box ticking exercise.
The more I learnt about the philosophy and foundations of yoga the more I understood that my original course wasn't authentically "Yoga". I wanted to be able to share the beauty of yoga confidently and organically. So I went on the hunt for a new course, which is when I found My Tribe Training. Mel found me when I felt pretty lost after my original qualification landed.
Together we came up with a plan to grow and develop my confidence and I couldn't be happier that Mel and I found one another. I have met the most incredible and strong women on the course, which allowed me to view Yoga from different perspectives and different walks of life.
Quite simply, that's what the missing piece in my Yoga journey was My Tribe Training, thank you for all you do, your wisdom and guidance was beyond my expectations. Any future students will be lucky to have you by their side.

I Highly Recommend this Training
My yoga teacher training journey with Mel exceeded my expectations! After years of contemplating YTT, I'd been put off by the typical format of intensive overseas programmes. I feel so lucky to have found this course in Sheffield – it offered the perfect blend of accessibility and depth whilst allowing me to keep up with my work/life commitments. The highlight for me was the fantastic community we built. It’s been so lovely to form friendships with fellow trainees. We built a brilliant support system for sharing challenges and celebrating each other which I really valued. Mel's course is really well-structured and she’s a wonderful teacher! I felt so supported throughout and the format was perfectly paced, and struck the right balance between in person and online. Covering the philosophy, history and theory was really important to me, and we covered that in lots of detail. I would highly recommend this course for anyone looking for a yoga teacher training! Thank you so much Mel

I Felt Supported Every Step of the Way
"As a relative beginner to yoga, I decided to take this course to build a solid foundation for my own practice. The course offered a perfect blend of online lessons and live training days at various yoga studios, which allowed me to take the theory I was learning and put it into practice. The combination of these formats worked very well for me.
I appreciated how the course introduced the fundamentals of yoga philosophy and how it has evolved to modern-day practice. It gave me a deeper understanding of yoga, not just physically but mentally and spiritually as well.
I now feel confident in my ability to develop my own yoga practice safely and effectively. This course has also inspired me to explore the possibility of becoming a yoga instructor in some areas that I'm keen to explore further.
Mel is a great teacher with deep knowledge and experience, and it truly shines through in her teaching. The online resources, along with the option for a printed manual, were incredibly comprehensive and supported my learning every step of the way."

So Grateful for My Tribe Training
I feel so grateful as a graduate of the My Tribe yoga TT. Mel is such a wonderful teacher- kind, calm, knowledgeable and so supportive. She has really encouraged us at all points and I have seen my own practice improve in leaps and bounds, as well as my confidence. As a course, everything is well organised so we have had a thorough grounding in the history, philosophy, physiology and ethics without ever being overwhelmed as there are lots of chances to embed what you learn. However I have definitely gained more than just a qualification, it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s been life changing. I am looking forward to teaching some regular classes in the new year
