FAQs

We love inspiring ideas for events – the best way to get your ideas on our calendar is to contact your Regional or National Officer with your suggestions of tutors, subjects or venues that you would like to see on offer. Even better still, if you can arrange an event with the support of your local committee or join them as an area representative, that will help ensure quality events in the future.

BWY committees run by volunteers in posts which need different time commitments. A good entry level role is secretary or deputy area representative. This gives you the opportunity to learn the ropes without too much pressure. Alternatively, you could offer to help occasionally at larger events. All help is welcome!

Joining your local committee is a great way to meet fellow yoga lovers in your area and feel part of a team. You can help ensure there are great events happening regularly near you and help spread the word throughout your community, especially encouraging people who may not know about BWY or even yoga to take part.

Yes. Many members find themselves close to two BWY communities. In your members dashboard you can select a primary and a secondary region/nation, to make sure you are kept up to date with all the great events happening near you.

You will receive a newsletter from and be able to vote in the elections for your primary region/nation.

On this website you can use Yoga Search, in the top menu, to find all upcoming events in your area, selecting specific types of event. You can also sign up for emails from your local committee and their newsletter which features all upcoming events alongside articles and news in your area.
