Southern Region of The British Wheel of Yoga | yoga classes, training and events in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire

The BWY is recognised by Sport England and The Sport and Recreation Alliance (formally the CCPR) as the National Governing Body for Yoga in England. As the NGB for Yoga we also accredit other organisation's teacher training programmes.

Southern Region comprises Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, North and South Hampshire with the Isle of Wight and Oxfordshire. This gives it a long, narrow shape extending 100 miles from the South Coast almost to the Midlands, and within the area there is a great variety of terrain. On the Isle of Wight we have fossil-rich shoreline, in Hampshire there are miles of beaches, the New Forest and rolling hills (or hangers), the downs in Berkshire and the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire. The River Thames runs through much of the region too.

What about Yoga in our region? More than 300 teachers in the region offer classes in a wide range of styles, and some teachers have specialist skills including yoga for pregnancy, remedial yoga, yoga for senior students, and yoga for those in prison. Currently, there are over 60 students throughout the region on teacher training courses, providing the essential continuity of teachers for our region.
