YOGA TEACHER Q&A CHATS ONLINE
Yoga teacher perspectives
What yoga teachers are saying
“My contact with other yoga teachers at yoga days etc, has been less than it used to be, so the Q&A meetings are really useful to stay connected.”
Leanne
“Andrea is professional and thorough, and has an authentic teacher connection. She maintains a clear structure at the Q&A sessions so that everyone feels comfortable to contribute if they want to. ”
Val
“There's a value in questioning what you do in your practice. The discussions and self-reflection that follows keeps my teaching fresh and interesting.”
Vivien
“I like that we can have different conversations at different meetings on different days. We sometimes talk about practical aspects and at other times more personal and emotional things, which is great because it addresses the breadth of the experience of being a yoga teacher.”
Tim
“Yoga teaching is such a solitary pursuit. I'm trying to meet up with other teachers in person more, but sometimes you can't - life's busy. I think it's important to stay connected, and I've found these meetings great and not too time-consuming.”
Sue
“It gave me a feeling of personal consolidation of my own teaching and I appreciated the support from others. This is the first one I've been to and I will come along again. Thank you.”
Joan
“It gives you a chance to get to know what other yoga teachers are practising. I liked having the breakout rooms too, which was very nice. I felt more motivated afterwards and it gave me useful ideas.”
Julie
“Listening to other teachers talking about their interests, plans for the future and concerns is useful, as well as knowing that we are all trying to find our way of teaching and sharing and navigating the different issues the world throws at us.”
Tracy
“Even if you only get one snippet of information from another teacher in the community, or one new idea that you can implement, that feels really supportive.”
Amanda

Meeting Facilitator
Andrea Newman
Senior tutor
Andrea says: "I see myself as a sensitive and curious teacher and geeky introvert! I love creating and holding a space for people to come into to explore themselves through yoga. I find it a joy and a privilege to see people's courage and determination as they face challenges in life, to learn, heal and evolve." Andrea has been teaching yoga since 1994 and training yoga teachers with the British Wheel of Yoga since 2003. As a Certified Advanced Rolfer with a degree in biochemistry, Andrea continues to study anatomy, spirituality and the body-mind connection. She brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to her teaching and is committed to providing opportunities for yoga teachers and students to learn and grow.
Continuing Professional Development
Annual CPD is required by most yoga teacher accrediting organisations, including BWY and YA
Yoga Teaching & Learning networking sessions provide CPD for yoga teachers. Check your organisation's requirements for CPD.
Our meetings, in a Q&A format, are facilitated by Andrea Newman who has been leading BWY teacher training and CPD for over 20 years.
These meetings are currently available every two months and are free of charge. This amounts to 6 hours of CPD per year (or 9 hours if you stay for the additional half hour of further discussions).
Community guidelines
The networking meetings provide a professional and friendly space.
