They are practical and non threatening. Whatever your ability you are welcome. The venues are picked because they offer great food, fine wines and are in areas of outstanding beauty. So for any non yoga person there is plenty to do.
 
There are 6 hours of practical yoga instruction spread over 4 classes
Special attention is given in helping you develop a home practice. learning to relax, using yoga to keep your body and mind in good health and lots more.
 
The classes are suitable for all levels so expect to be challenged in our normal smiley way.

Finding a qualified Yoga instructor 

Yoga is has never been more popular and more misunderstood than it is at the moment.  

There are many health clubs offering stretch and tone classes and passing these of as Yoga.   Yoga is not something your teacher has been able to learn in a weekend.  It is in essence a recognised science for the mind and body. 

Some people try to learn yoga in a weekend, or even by correspondence course, but these qualifications are hardly worth the paper they are written on.  

The British Wheel of Yoga  

Is recognised by the government and the Sports Council as the governing body for Yoga in the UK.  

This means that the British Wheel of Yoga is responsible for promoting and maintaining standards of yoga teaching throughout the country.

The BWY Diploma is recognised around the world and is considered the gold standard qualification.  The British Wheel of Yoga Diploma is a major undertaking. The course takes three to four years to complete (Part time) and only those who have been attending classes for at least two years with a qualified teacher are admitted.
