BRITISH WHEEL OF YOGA FOUNDATION COURSE 1

A new course (the fifth in the series ) will run from September 2008 to April 2009 in Tooting, London SW17.   

This is a structured, practical yoga foundation course of ten, one-day sessions for students who wish to deepen their personal practice and understanding of Yoga, or for those considering British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) teacher training.

The course content includes: methods of preparing for practice, exploration of asanas, pranayama, mudras, concentration and meditation, relaxation, chanting, and background and philosophy of yoga.

The Yoga Foundation Course is taught by a mixture of talks, discussion, demonstration and practical sessions. Throughout the duration of the course students will be required to keep a yoga practice diary.

The course content has been approved by The British Wheel of Yoga, and the Tutor, Julia Wheatley, holds the British Wheel of Yoga Teaching Diploma. She has been teaching since 1989.

On completion of the Yoga Foundation Course a Certificate of Attendance will be awarded. A minimum of 80% attendance is required in order to receive the Certificate. Please note that the Certificate of Attendance is not a teaching qualification, but it would be advantageous for those students who wish to go on to join a BWY Diploma Course (teacher training).
