Information about the features of this website

The website aims to present information in an easily accessible manner. There are two main sections: one publicly accessible; the other for BWY Yorkshire Region members only.

Our Region

In this page you will find contacts for Regional Committee members and County Representatives. E-mail addresses are not publicly displayed or accessible anywhere on the website and will not generate 'spam' mail. For committee members' telephone numbers and postal addresses you will need to refer to the regional newsletter Wheels Within.

News and Information

The News & information page is intended to be the main source of up-to-date yoga news and information in the Region, so you should visit it regularly! Important items of information about regional events, reports about recent activities and committee meetings, changes to BWY policy etc will be posted on this page and updated frequently.

Yoga Events

This section gives information about Yoga events, seminars & work­shops. From a dropdown select box you may choose to display events in chronological order or by county, or display only In-Service Training or First Aid events, Federation-organised events, or BWY courses.

IST and First Aid event listings are duplicated in the Information for Teachers pages of the Members Only section, and details of BWY courses are also listed in the BWY Training section.

Colour coding
The small date block for each event is colour-coded:
 Regional events
 Federation events
 In-Service Training events
 First Aid courses
 BWY courses
 Other events

Information about each event
The initial listing gives brief details of each event, including the number of available places, and the IST number of any In-Service Training event. Clicking the blue more info button will display additional inform­ation—if provided bythe organiser—and may include brief biographical information about the tutor, downloadable pre-course information, and a detailed programme of the event. Clicking the blue postcode hyperlink will open a Google map of the event location in a separate widow.

Booking form
Within the more information box, a booking form link in the top right corner opens a second window with a booking form for the event. On inputting your full BWY membership mumber, the form will be populated with your contact details as held in your membership record. You may then print out the form to mail with your cheque to the organiser whose contact details will be printed on the form.
Note: Depending on the speed of your internet connection, the form may take a few seconds to appear. Also, depending on the browser you use, you may need to save the form to your computer before opening or printing it.

Confirmation of booking
E-mail confirmation of your booking will be automatically sent to you—if you have an e-mail address—as soon as the organiser has received your cheque and booking form.

Yoga Classes

The Yoga classes section is the main source of information about yoga classes in the Region. Classes listed here have been registered on the website by BWY teachers, and are listed by county, postcode and class type. You may refine your search by restricting it to a particular county, or type of class.
More comprehensive teacher listings can be found on the national British Wheel of Yoga website.

Venue location
Clicking the blue postcode hyperlink will open a Google map of the class location in a separate widow.
