British Wheel of Yoga Qualifications Level 4 Certificate in Teaching Yoga (300 hours).
Flexible Blended Learning/Ofqual regulated.

Live sessions via Zoom mornings 0800-1300 at weekends and these will be held monthly. This Certificate training is delivered online in person and it is important to recognise that attendance at the study days - including the residential which is delivered in person to the group - needs to meet the required attendance figures of 80% of the total Guided Learning Hours (165 hours of tutorials). To ensure that there is expertise hands on teaching of asana, there is a residential held over one week in June, 2027 at Nedd in the north-west Highlands. The residential is well timed so that summative assessment of teaching asana to the group will be assessed in person by the tutor with constructive feedback from the group. The Certificate ends in December 2027 when there is plenty of time to complete the summative Assessed Class Teaching assignment and any outstanding assignments if you intend to continue to the 500 hour qualification starting on 13 May 2028.

Introductory ssesion 18 July 2026 (recording will be made available).

This Certificate training is a new approach to learning for the British Wheel of Yoga under the banner of ‘Flexible Blended Learning’ (FBL) and the course is delivered in units (A-C). The course is designed for those who cannot attend weekends on a regular basis and is delivered 80% online live and 20% in person at the residential. The residential is held in the Highlands and is over one week in June (2027) and the croft is made available for camping - we have showers and toilets on site. This course will primarily appeal to those living remotely in the Highlands & Islands - or those who have commitments which mean attending in person at weekends is too difficult due to personal circumstances. Each individual's circumstances will be taken into account during the application process. FBL aims to reduce physical, cognitive, intellectual and organisational barriers to learning as well as ensuring fair and accurate assessment.

For specific dates contact the tutor. The requirement of the course is that you attend at least 80% on the sessions delivered live online including the residential.

Residential: Croft 355 Nedd, Drumbeg, Highlands.
19-25 June 2027.

This Diploma training is deliverd online in person and it is important to recognise that the study days need to be attended to meet the required attendance figures of 80% of the total Guided Learning Hours as GLH cannot be recouped by watching recordings or working with pre-recorded material. A number of learning modalities will include some pre-recorded material to assist learning and recordings of our sessions will be available post study days which is helpful if you've missed a session. To ensure that there is one-to-one teaching of asana, there is a residential held over one week in June at Nedd in the north-west Highlands and it is essential to attend this important element of the course. Each unit has an end point which avoids any overload of information as we work methodically through the syllabus unit by unit. At the end of Unit C, there is plenty of time to complete the first Assessed Class Teaching with a break of several months. FBL aims to reduce physical, cognitive, intellectual and organisational barriers to learning as well as ensuring fair and accurate assessment.

Flexible Blended Learning can offer students the opportunity to work at their own pace, accommodate particular individual learning differences, offer flexible learning environments and meet the diverse needs of all learners.
