BWY Foundation Courses

Foundation Course Level 1

This 60-hour course is designed to explore yoga in more depth than you would get in an average class. It includes practical and theoretical work on the eight limbs of Patanjali’s Yogasutras Chapter Two e.g. asana, pranayama, concentration, and meditation as well as topics such as the history of Yoga, and the different paths and schools of yoga.

It is intended for students who would like to develop their knowledge of yoga further and also for those wanting to train as teachers to provide them with the basics and and introduction to our diploma course.

Foundation Course Level 2

This 60-hour course is for those who have completed a Foundation Course1, and who have no interest in going on to train as a BWY teacher but would like to continue to broaden their depth of yoga knowledge.

The course content includes more asana, more pranayama, meditation, chanting, prana, nadis, kosas (pancamaya), mudras, bandhas, kriyas, in-depth study of Patanjali’s Yogasutras Chapter 1, and how to plan personal practices specifically designed for individual needs.
