How is the course assessed and can I fail?
-
The course is assessed on a continuous basis, and the aims and goals for each teaching module are clearly outlined. If a student does not fulfil the assessment criteria they will not fail, but their certification will be withheld until they reach the required standard. This is not a pay your money get your certificate course, and we owe it to our students to maintain consistently high standards.

Is the BWY the governing body for yoga in the UK and do I have to train with them to get a recognised qualification?
-
If you look at their website it will have a heading ‘BWY is the Sport England recognised National Governing Body for Yoga’ . Being the governing body for Great Britain and being recognised by the Sport England (of all organisations!) as the governing body are two very different things. So the answer is basically, NO, the BWY are NOT the governing body and you do not require to do their training courses to teach yoga.
