The 2021 course starts with an introductory day on 20 March 2021 with the induction day and the course starting 17 April 2021. These dates may change due to Covid however the course can be partly run on line so it may be that we start on line with later dates face to face. The course is held one Saturday per month over 32 months with a residential weekend in the first year. You can usually begin teaching within the first year of the course enabling you to earn while you learn as well as gaining experience as a teacher as you are being supported in a training environment. Course content includes an in depth look at asana from a physical and energetic perspective, modifications and vulnerable areas, basic breathing and relaxation, professional aspects of yoga teaching, history of yoga, pranayama, mudras, bandhas and yoga philosophy. Entry requirements are at least two years experience of yoga attending regular classes (a reference will be required from your tutor). You will also need to complete the on line BWY Anatomy module or already hold a minimum level 3 Anatomy and Physiology qualification. This will give you a basic background in anatomy so the face to face time with me can be focussed on applying the anatomy to yoga practice. You will also be required to be a student member of the BWY and continue to attend your weekly classes and attend workshops to deepen your personal practice. Preference will be given to students who have completed the foundation course however this is not essential to apply.
