Overview

Veronica first started practising yoga while studying for her degree in Engineering. On graduating she moved to Edinburgh and started a career in IT spanning 17 years.  Here she attended her first Iyengar Yoga class. The precision and attention to alignment appealed to her engineering mind, and she was hooked.

After the birth of her second daughter, Veronica founded “Little Greene Yoga” in Glasgow, Scotland (2005).  She is a fully qualified Iyengar yoga instructor (Jun. Int. Level 1), a qualified yoga instructor for children, a registered Senior Teacher (SYT) with Yoga Alliance Professionals. This accreditation demonstrates excellent standards as set by Yoga Alliance Professionals. Veronica is also a faculty member of Kids Yoga Academy.  She has been teaching adults for more than 27 years and children for the past 16 years.

Little Greene Yoga runs classes for adults, children, teenagers and postnatal mums as part of its weekly timetable. They offer a full program for primary and secondary school, including in-house training for school teachers  – “Yoga for all stages of life”.

Veronica is passionate about teaching yoga and feels extremely fortunate to have been teaching some of her younger students for more than 13 years.  As the children have evolved both mentally and physically so has the ”Little Greene Yoga” syllabus which combines her classical yoga training with fun techniques aimed at stimulating each specific age group. She believes that children can be taught the connection between body and mind, gain valuable life tools and respect for themselves if the class is tailored to their individual needs.

Her Adult classes are taught with the same passion!

“Little Greene Yoga” runs regular workshops to educate teaching staff, within Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools, on how to use yoga as part of their school curriculum and a Certified Training program to share her knowledge with other potential instructors. She also runs courses for teaching staff, as part of in-service training, on how yoga can be incorporated into the school day!

Little Greene Yoga offers a certified training package based on 16 years of teaching Children & Teens

    teacher review

    In November 2018 I attended the Foundation Yoga Training for children between 3-8 years old after making a detailed research of the different options in UK. I chose Veronica's training because of the detailed program and the fact that we had a final exam in a school with kids (they never lie!) Veronica's skills are beyond the expectations you can have at first sight of her website. Her deep knowledge of anatomy and teaching skills are amazing and the honesty and support she offers are invaluable. She gave me the confidence to practise a handstand as I had never been able to do due to some fears coming from my birth! Thank you so much for your teachings, determination and humour!

    Foundation Children's yoga course 3-8 years old

    I highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to teach yoga to children. The course prepares you in depth fully to leave the weekend and be able to teach confidently and start your own business. Veronica shares her many years of experience teaching children wholeheartedly. She is warm, welcoming, professional and supportive. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. The practical, held in a local Primary school, was an amazing experience to put everything she shared with us into practice.

    Foundation years 3-8 years

    Great course - I really enjoyed it! I have learned so much over the 3 days course. Veronica is so knowledgeable and such a great tutor. The course is very well structured covering the theoretical parts with the anatomy and specifities of the particular age group, detailing the lessan plan and how to organise the session as well as the more admin side of it, and a lot of practical (including storytelling, games...). Also important to mention is that the course is kept in small group. And what a lovely group it was; such lovely yoga teachers with great personalities. I definitely recommend Veronica's course to anyone who wants to teach yoga to kids. I can say that thanks to Veronica I feel confident to go and start teaching to kids!

    Children's Yoga (3-8)

    This was an inspiring course led by a knowledgeable and highly enthusiastic tutor. Veronica was able to lead us through all the skills we needed for teaching Yoga to younger children by sharing form her extensive experience with this age group as well as using her expertise of Yoga. I highly recommend this course to others.

    Foundation Course - Teaching Children's Yoga (ages 3-8)

    I attended this course in August 2017 and thoroughly enjoyed the training, the focus on practical work, actually teaching a class in a school as part of the assessment and the thorough approach and years of experience that Veronica brought to the training.
