What teachers are saying about working with Leah...
"If you want to develop yourself personally as a yoga teacher and face challenges in teaching, a mentorship with Leah is recommended. Leah shows you that teaching has many aspects. Not just the alignment and misalignment in the asanas; giving "assists" but also how to you use your voice during class. Which “cues” do you give? What words do you use? Do you know what kind of students are in your class? Do you see your students as whole and complete? Do you know them by name? How do you add depth to your lessons? And perhaps most importantly, are you being yourself in class? Leah is authentic, full of humour, enthusiastic, respectful, committed and very experienced. I love having her as a mentor"
~Lizzy Bas (Studio BlauweVlinder)
Als ik terugdenk aan mijn tijd als intern, dan denk ik vooral aan de tijd en aandacht die Leah altijd voor mij had. Zij wist precies waar mijn aandachtspunten lagen en ze had een duidelijk plan hoe mij daarin te stimuleren, met veel humor, maar vooral heel veel kennis.
Haar manier en combi van hele duidelijke cues, uitleg en ook hands-on adjustments was voor mij de perfecte manier om te leren. Ik voelde me heel snel vertrouwt om een les te gaan geven, omdat zij mij dat vertrouwen gaf. Ze is heel eerlijk in haar feedback en als het nog niet helemaal goed is of er moet een tandje bij dan zal ze dat altijd zeggen en dan samen te kijken hoe ik dat zou kunnen verbeteren. Dus ik wist dat als zij zei ga dit of dat doen, dat ik er ook klaar voor was.
~Rosan Oosterom (freelance teacher- coach)
"As teachers, we strive to be unique and authentic and Leah’s advanced training is really about this. With effective tools and teachings she will help you to look within to find your true voice. I will recommend this training to all the teachers who feel the need to improve their skills to teach meaningful classes"
~Beatrice Savaris (multiple studios)
"I have attended several trainings with Léah Kline and learned a lot from her. Besides a lot of helpful cues and adjustments, I have learned to theme a class and how to translate this on the mat. How to play with words and make your yoga class personal. All of this in a light and funny way. Thank you Léah for all the beautiful insights and your unique way of teaching which inspires me a lot! "
~Suzanne Reynaert (teacher- owner: Studio Reyn)
"Leah taught me to trust my instinct and explore and find different words in cueing, how to use my voice when teaching, how to work with inspiring texts: fantastic, educational, nice, fun, inspiring, in-depth and special "
~ Maaike Peys, (Yoga Seads)
"To learn how to use your own uniqueness as a teacher to build up a healthy and meaningful class has been a real treat. To be able to use your own voice in more than one way, is inspiring. To really understand adjustments and when to give and more importantly when not to give them, was also very valuable. Leah is an experienced, knowledgeable and inspiring teacher and I would recommend her Mastering Your Teaching Skills course with my eyes closed"
~ Yvette storer (teacher-owner Bare Yoga)
guide and witness on this journey
towards your highest vibration"
Master teachers believe that all students can learn, and they are committed to the success of their students. They possess a deep understanding of how students learn and develop, and they strive to create positive learning environments for all students, regardless of current skills or ability levels.
