Yoga teacher perspectives
“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.”
“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. ”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
"Questions open a door to self-enquiry."
Annual CPD is required by most yoga teacher accrediting organisations, including BWY and YA
Yoga Teaching & Learning community Q&A sessions provide CPD for yoga teachers. Check your organisation's requirements for CPD.
Our Q&A sessions are facilitated by Andrea Newman who has been leading BWY teacher training and CPD for over 20 years.
These meetings are currently available monthly and are free of charge. If you attend just once a quarter, this amounts to 4 hours of CPD (or 6 hours if you stay for the additional half hour of further discussions).
The Q&A sessions provide a professional and friendly space.

The Yoga Teaching & Learning website is evolving organically and feedback from yoga teachers is very welcome. Please bring your comments or suggestions to a Q&A meeting or email [email protected].
If this sounds like your cup of tea, we hope to see you soon!
