Teacher Training Diploma

This 500 hour national occupational standard can take between two and four years to complete.

Students explore a practical and theoretical syllabus that covers: anatomy and physiology (including common medical conditions), pranayama, history and philosophy of yoga and class management.

To be accepted onto a BWY Teaching Diploma course students will have practiced yoga for over two years and will often have completed the BWY Foundation Course as well. Teacher training courses are run throughout the country by the BWY and its accredited organisations.
