BWY in the South

After a successful meet-up in Cumnor we have had to cancel ROSIE WRIGHT’s “towards personal healing” in Milton Keynes CPD. As a charity we have to make sure that events “wipe their nose”. Low bookings for an event due in a month meant cancellation was the only option. Those who did book will be refunded and the event is scheduled for next year in the south of our region.
We really hate to cancel these events and have already had a couple of people asking about it. If you want to attend an event please book early to help guarantee it runs.

Perfect combination morning: lovely fellow yoga teachers sharing practise , asana tips, and thank you Rosie for tastiest lemon drizzle cake. Sharing books & training. As teachers it’s so wonderful to be lead with visualisation in savasana. Also can be a bit isolating so over cuppa we could chat through our up & downs of teaching & life. Thank you 🙏

Planning our next Yoga Teachers meet up in the Spring both at Cumnor (Oxford) and Basingstoke (Hampshire )

CPD on a Sunday for those of you teaching rest of week! Rosie is a BWY Diploma teacher with years of training and self practise, and
“A joy to train with, she inspires and encourages in a down to earth and easily understandable way”

Come and discover new ways of combining traditional yoga practices to move towards deeper physical healing and feel afresh the great benefits of yoga. This exploratory day with Rosie will give you time to reflect and release. It is designed to deepen your understanding of this transformation towards physical healing. We shall do this by investigating Nyasa, the practice of moving our consciousness into particular areas of the body.

Rosie brings a wealth of experience and humour to her teaching which will help you to open in a safe environment.

Hello BWY Teachers
have you seen the advise from our BWY insurers sent by email this morning? If you need to update your First Aid Certificate (3 year renewal) please get in touch and maybe help run the next one in your county. We have none planned so please do get involved to support fellow teachers and a bit of Karma yoga to give back to our community.

Here is the paragraph advising:
"In the past, holding a First Aid certificate has been recommended rather than required. However, our insurers have advised that if an injury occurs during a class and there is no trained first aider available at the time, any resulting claim may not be covered. This could mean that the teacher becomes personally liable."

We had an awesome day at The Gregg school near Southampton. The gardens are suffering with the heat but what an amazing place.
A wonderful group of yogi’s sharing stories and practice.

Unlike other CPD events on menopause and midlife health, this day is led by Sarah Leroux, who is an advanced nurse specialist with a clinical focus on menopause and who has a deep commitment to the healing power of Yoga. This dual perspective ensures the content is:

 Clinically accurate and up-to-date
 Sensitive and holistic
 Grounded in real-world experience and evidence.

This unique blend of medical knowledge and yogic philosophy allows for a broad and inclusive approach to understanding the physiological and emotional shifts in midlife and how yoga can be a vital tool for navigating them.

The day is suitable for yoga teachers and BWY members who have an interest in women’s health. All genders and levels of yoga experience are welcome.

You can get a free membership to book onto this interesting cpd day.
Paid members discount applied and student teachers additional discount.
