MEMBER BENEFITS

Membership with us unlocks a host of benefits to enrich your yoga practice. You can take advantage of free online training including our popular online Member Sessions and you gain subsidised access to BWY events, CPD days and festivals.

Enjoy exclusive discounts on a plethora of yoga products and if you want to take your practice to the next level, we offer premium quality learning and training opportunities.

You’ll also receive our magazine, Spectrum, and can stay in the know with our regional newsletters and e-newsletter On-The-Pulse. So, why wait, join us today!

Training with us brings all the benefits of general membership plus access to our comprehensive and competitive insurance as well as the ability to list your classes, retreats, workshops and complimentary services for free in our members directory which links to your public profile on our website.

We also provide marketing resources to help you start out, including free videos on how to market yourself and procedures and policies that promote safe and equitable practice.

BWY Student Teacher members also get a TOTUM NUS card helping you save while you learn.

There is also access to numerous CPD opportunities, both online and in-person.

CPD points are important to continue to develop your skills as a teacher and we recommend a minimum of 15 points per year.

We host over 50 CPD days at any one time to help you deepen your knowledge or develop your specialism.

You can also accrue points by attending First Aid days and our free online Member Sessions.

CPD is also available to non-teaching members to enhance your practice.

Our insurance is recognised worldwide except in the USA. If you are UK resident and want to run retreats, any claims made outside of the UK will be covered under your policy.

However, if you are resident outside of the UK, France, Jersey, Guernsey and Eire, you will not be covered.

Even if you’re not in the UK, being a member still comes with a host of fantastic benefits, all at a discounted rate. While you won’t receive our regional newsletter or be included in our insurance coverage, you’ll still have access to the core benefits of general membership.

We understand that you may not be able to participate in all that we offer due to your location, but many of our courses and CPD days are available online or through distance learning, making it accessible to you, wherever you are in the world.

All the policy and information documents for your insurance are available via the My Resources section on our website. This includes details of what to do and who to contact in the event of a claim. Our team is ready to support you with any questions that you may have about the insurance.

Your personalised insurance certificate can be found under My Profile.

Our insurance is competitive and comprehensive. Open access cover is something that we are working towards and we have appointed a new insurance broker so that we can improve our current policy, which is due for renewal on November 1st each year.

No. You can get it regardless of your membership type. The family membership is only available to one other person who lives at the same address as you.
