Independent Yoga Teachers

* practising together * working together * growing together *

Mission Statement: BYTA is a forward-thinking network of independent yoga teachers, working together to support each other in our professional lives, as well as our personal practices.

Our Aim is to support the spiritual and professional development of yoga teachers from all traditions while promoting an understanding of the wider implications of yoga.

Our Vision is to provide a space where yoga teachers of various traditions can interact freely. BYTA would like to bring together as many different teachers as possible to produce more creative thinking and a broad-based, inclusive, and holistic approach.

BUILDING BRIDGES

BYTA is about building bridges and making connections. Thread by thread, we see a network of yoga teachers throughout Britain, supporting each other – and reaching out to our counterparts in Europe and around the world.

BYTA meetings and events are opportunities to meet and spend time with your fellow yoga teachers, to share experiences and new ideas, and find creative solutions to common problems encountered in teaching as well as in personal practice.

BYTA members have access to a supportive network of experienced teachers who can provide resource materials, answers to teachers’ questions and mutual encouragement.

Members receive advance notice and discounts for educational workshops and intensives with respected teachers.

Hundreds of yoga teachers around the country receive our monthly newsletter, which keeps them up-to-date on BYTA-sponsored workshops, as well as those offered by our members. There are articles on new teaching developments and techniques. We welcome submissions. Advertising space is also available.
