their continuing studies have completed, or are in training where indicated, a Centre for Yoga Studies/Viniyoga Britain Module Three Practitioner Programme with Paul Harvey, or a cYs Approved Training with Practitioners who trained extensively within cYs.

The cYs Practitioner Programme Diploma is Accredited in the UK by the British Wheel of Yoga, as well as by the European Union of Yoga Federations to teach in any of its 
member countries. Being awarded the cYs/VB Diploma validates the holder as having qualified to Practice offering

Yoga Teaching and if required, renew CNHC (Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council) Registered UK Yoga Therapy status.

CNHC has agreed that the Centre for Yoga Studies may verify applications for CNHC registration and we encourage members to register in order to gain the CNHC quality mark. Members wishing to register should click here.

CNHC is the UK regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners that was set up with government funding and support. Its key function is to enhance public protection by giving the general public and commissioners of services access to a list of practitioners that have been assessed as meeting national standards of competence and practice. It currently registers practitioners from fourteen disciplines with more to follow.

Practitioners who have had specialist workshop teacher training through the cYs Module One and Module Two Foundational Workshop Teacher Teaching Programmes are listed accordingly. Practitioners who have had specialist training through the cYs CPD Skills Workshop Programme are listed accordingly.

I would like to thank my Teacher TKV Desikachar for all that I received through his transmission of the teachings of T Krishnamacharya and what these eminent teachers and all their students have brought to the world of Yoga..

    "One knows how to practice, and that one is perfectly capable.
    But one settles for second or third best.
    It is like getting the progress prize at school – and one is not really doing one‘s best. It’s a very low grade of effort and it is much more serious than having a bad temper.
    The times when I have genuinely put my whole self into something, the results have surprised even me."
