Testimonials from current BWY teacher training students (not ITEC)

I have found that the diploma course is providing me with a thorough grounding in all the aspects of yoga that I need to successfully teach others. Whilst the syllabus of the course is planned to provide the appropriate and essential information required to teach yoga, it is Paul that provides the enthusiasm and the practical instruction to bring it alive. As the course has progressed I have seen that Paul has given all of the students on the course the encouragement and opportunities that we require as individuals. Whilst some students are already quite skilled and experienced in yoga, others such as myself are less expert, and Paul recognises that we sometimes need a different approach in our learning.

Paul always provides a comfortable learning environment, using different styles and methods of teaching to suit our different learning styles and makes us feel that our views and experiences are valued. I have found that Paul excels particularly in his knowledge of the anatomy of the body and how to apply this in yoga teaching and practice. I believe that he adds in many extras and additions to the standard course framework and it is often these aspects that really bring it alive and make it meaningful in practice. Perhaps, however, the most important benefit for me as one of Paul’s students is that after every weekend’s learning I return home with renewed enthusiasm and confidence in myself to carry on and teach yoga to others.
