The British Wheel of Yoga (registered charity) is the national governing body for yoga in England running gold standard yoga teacher training, foundation training, specialised modules and more.

The BWY Foundation Course level 1 is a 60 hour training aimed at deepening experienced yoga students' understanding and practice of hatha yoga. It is an ideal preparation for those wishing to pursue teacher training with the British Wheel but is also a wonderful opportunity for personal development for those who just love yoga.

There is also a large practical element to the course covering asana, mudra, breathing and pranayama techniques, mantra, concentration / contemplation and relaxation.

Prema Jyoti (Louise Fortunato) runs the course periodically, usually over a ten month period (1 Saturday per month). To apply, students must have at least two years consistent yoga practice with a BWY qualified or equivalent teacher.
