At the heart of yoga in London
Welcome to our community which covers the majority of greater London, bordering BWY in the East, BWY in the South and BWY in the South East. Everyone is welcome to attend our yoga events and trainings.
We offer regular community-focused events such as members afternoons, an annual yoga festival, first aid training days and regular learning days for yoga teachers or practitioners interested in building on their knowledge of a specialised subject.
Our newsletter is produced three times a year featuring articles and full listings of our events and trainings. As a BWY member you can opt to receive regular emails about our events by choosing London as your primary or secondary region.
We have a lively committee of volunteers who work together to organise all the events in London. If you are interested in joining us, or can offer occasional support, we would love to hear from you. Please contact the regional officer below.

FAQs
We love inspiring ideas for events – the best way to get your ideas on our calendar is to contact your Regional or National Officer with your suggestions of tutors, subjects or venues that you would like to see on offer. Even better still, if you can arrange an event with the support of your local committee or join them as an area representative, that will help ensure quality events in the future.
BWY committees run by volunteers in posts which need different time commitments. A good entry level role is secretary or deputy area representative. This gives you the opportunity to learn the ropes without too much pressure. Alternatively, you could offer to help occasionally at larger events. All help is welcome!
Joining your local committee is a great way to meet fellow yoga lovers in your area and feel part of a team. You can help ensure there are great events happening regularly near you and help spread the word throughout your community, especially encouraging people who may not know about BWY or even yoga to take part.

You will receive a newsletter from and be able to vote in the elections for your primary region/nation.
On this website you can use Yoga Search, in the top menu, to find all upcoming events in your area, selecting specific types of event. You can also sign up for emails from your local committee and their newsletter which features all upcoming events alongside articles and news in your area.
