British Wheel of Yoga, Foundation Course Two

​
​
This course is aimed at those who have already completed the Foundation Course 1 and want to continue your personal study and qualified yoga teachers who want to benefit from studying in a group environment.
Perhaps you completed your Yoga teaching certificate and are not yet ready to go on to Diploma level, or maybe you did your training a few years ago and miss being part of a study group, if you are unsure do feel free to contact me to discuss.
