The BWY Foundation Course 2 explores the various aspects of yoga, allowing participants to delve deeper into their personal practice of asana, pranayama, kriya, mudra, bandha and meditation, whilst gaining a greater understanding of yoga philosophy.  The emphasis is on the more subtle aspects of the practice and yoga philosophy. 

The course has no formal assessment but there is a piece of work discussing concepts of Patanjali (chapters 1 & 2), the content of which will be covered during the course.  Students will be expected to keep and submit a monthly yoga diary and practice in between sessions.

On completion of the course, you will be awarded with the British Wheel of Yoga Foundation Course 2 Certificate of Attendance (80% attendance is required).

The course is suitable for teachers and non-teachers alike.

The course has 8 sessions held once a month online (9am – 4pm).  The sessions will take place over Zoom.  There’s a 2-night residential retreat in Surrey, which forms part of the course (Friday 4pm – Sunday 4pm).
