BWY Foundation Course |
|
The
BWY Foundation Course provides practical yoga techniques and personal
development taught in the context of the philosophy that underpins yoga. It aims
to widen experience and encourage study for serious students who do not
necessarily wish to teach yoga, but also provides a basic grounding for those
who want to progress on to train as yoga teachers.
The course is 60 hours long and may be run in different
formats by different tutors. Usually the duration of the course is about 9
months to a year.
BWY Foundation Level Two Courses are intended for
those who have attended a Foundation Level One course and who do not want to go
on to a Diploma Course to teach. These courses are purely for further
personal development.
Forthcoming courses in the region:
- Foundation Course I with Linda
Morley in Truro, Cornwall
Course currently running. Next begins September 2008.

it may be run in different formats by different tutors. Please contact

In-Service
Training (IST) |
|
The rules regarding IST attendance have been tightened
up. Teachers who do not complete one IST day per year will, the following
year, not appear as a 'T' (teacher) on the list but as 'M' (member) and will not
be covered by the teachers' insurance. This begins NOW. There will
be room for some mitigating circumstances as before, but not many, so
beware!
See the events
page for further details of IST days around the
region.
Contact the
Training
Officer if you have any queries about IST day attendance.
