BWY Foundation Course Level 1 with Katrina Heather and Sue Gallagher
Starting TBA

This inspiring 60 hour course offers the opportunity to deepen your understanding and experience of yoga. It is a journey of personal development and self-enquiry using the tools of yoga. In addition to learning more about the philosophy and application of yoga, it will give you the confidence to develop a regular home practice. It is also a stepping stone for those wishing to undertake teacher training. 

With a real passion for these ancient teachings and our own experience of their transformative powers, we offer a highly interactive, inspiring exploration of yoga and how you can incorporate it into your life. -
