YogaScene – Edition 1, 2019 3Regional Officer’s report
Margaret Murray
Firstly, may I take this opportunity to wish all yogis and their families a HEALTHY
AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
I would like to express my thanks to our Wiltshire County Rep, Tina Bosley for
organising the South West Regional Annual General Meeting & Yoga Day and
teachers who ran the sessions.
Sincere thanks also go to retiring committee members for all their hard work and
commitment to our Region. We are still looking for a County Rep for Dorset and a
Regional Treasurer so please let me know if you are interested.
I would also like to thank all our committee members who are kindly continuing
as part of the committee until the next election. We look forward to meeting new
members and learning new things – starting fresh with an open mind.
We have fantastic yoga days and training events organised for the coming year
(See diary of events) and once again we should give grateful thanks to our
County Reps for the hard work they do.
A request to all SW Region Members, please can you help in your county, if you
have any ideas, issues or something to say in OUR Region, I would love to hear
from you as this information is very useful to give us a better picture of our Region
and develop ways to promote yoga.
In 2019, the South West Festival will be held at Exeter University in July. It will be
a fun packed weekend so come and join us, see old friends and catch up on
region news. Kate Smith will be starting to advertise the weekend soon, so keep
an eye on the website.
With Love & Regards, Margaret
YogaScene – Edition 1, 2019 4Regional Treasurer’s report
Karen Ward
A Healthy and Happy New Year to all!
The financial year for the British Wheel of Yoga ended on 31 October and
the regional accounts were prepared, audited and submitted to the AGM
and central office on time.
Phew!
At the time of writing there is £13,019 in the regional accounts and the
finances are looking healthy.
Best wishes
Karen
YogaScene Edition 1, 2019 5Regional Training Officer’s
report
Nicola Walter and Tina Bosley
Firstly, we would both like to wish you all a very Happy New Year and take
this opportunity to introduce ourselves on the South West committee, as
Regional Training Officers.
Many of you will already know one of us, Tina, from a previous role as the
Wiltshire representative. The other one, Nicola, is new to the team, having
already studied alongside Tina throughout the BWY Diploma and more
recently, Integrating Mindfulness and Compassion in professional practice.
As we settle into this new role, we shall be looking at ways to support the
County Reps who work so hard to ensure we get sufficient IST days and
First Aid courses available within our area.
More generally, we are keen to look at ways that bring both teachers and
students of yoga more opportunities to get together and further their
understanding of yoga, and to look at ways to reach others that either are
yet to fully appreciate the extensive benefits of yoga, or those that have
the will but as yet haven’t found a way to start practicing.
YogaScene – Edition 1, 2019 6Whilst we are both buzzing with ideas, as one does when taking on a new
challenge, we are both conscious of the most fundamental lesson that
yoga has taught us and that is the quality of patience. If we have patience,
our minds have a greater chance of being more settled and what we go on
to do, from a more settled mind, often has a better quality about it. This
has certainly rung true for the both of us.
So, we invite you to step into this new and perhaps significantly
challenging year, with patience at the heart and steadiness of the mind.
.
We are always keen to hear from you all, so if you have any thoughts or
suggestions that you would like to share with us, please do get in touch at
rto.bwysouthwest@gmx.co.uk
With Love,
Nicola and Tina
YogaScene – Edition 1, 2019 7Avon report
Mary Allan
Hi! My name is Mary Allan and I volunteered for the role of County Rep
for Avon in November.
I haven’t really got started yet but hope to get going properly in the New
Year. As this coincides with having been made redundant in December, I
should be able to find some time to organise something, although to be
honest, it all feels a bit overwhelming at the moment!
I am really keen to make sure that events in the county are relevant for
teachers and yoga students and would welcome any suggestions for
teachers, themes and venues. So, please, if there’s something you would
like to see then let me know by emailing me at
cravon.bwysouthwest@gmx.co.uk
I have been practising yoga since 1993 and teaching since 2002,
qualifying in 2004 with the British Wheel of Yoga. I have somehow fallen
into a bit of a specialism of working with people with Parkinson’s disease
and find that as I get older the knowledge I have gained doing this really
informs my teaching.
I look forward to meeting you all at events to be arranged!
Best wishes,
Mary

Katy Hand
Happy New Year Gloucestershire Members!
We had good attendance for the 2018 IST days. We welcomed Mary
Wyvill, Bones for Life Day in April & Nada Yoga with Rajesh David in
October.
I have been getting lots of suggestions from members about IST days they
would like to see in the area.
I have taken your suggestions on board and have booked Stephen
Braybrook, the movement man, Brain-Move - applied neurology for Yoga
(see later page for more details and booking information).
I have had so many suggestions that I am planning to add in an extra IST
day this year. There will be 2 more IST days this year, in July and
October. These will be available to book on the British Wheel of Yoga
Website by the end of January.
If you need to update your First Aid Certificate, a day has been booked
with Alison Hawthorn at Standish Village Hall on Sunday the 28th April
2019. This is available to book online now.
Thank you for all of your suggestions, please continue to contact me with
your ideas.
Best Wishes

Happy New Year to all Somerset members,
Writing this pre-Christmas, by the time you read this we will be moving towards
Spring.

Kathryn Blackie-Taylor
Happy new year to all our Cornwall members.
The IST day ‘History of Yoga In Practice’ offered by Wendy Teasdill didn’t attract
sufficient bookings in November so has been rearranged for Saturday 20th July.
This is a fascinating day which promises to add depth of knowledge to your
personal yoga practice as well as your yoga teaching.
We are also looking at further ISTs for September onwards. Discussions are
ongoing with a couple of tutors and we have just to be able to find suitable dates
and available locations. These will be advertised as soon as possible.
If you have a particular IST subject which you would like to bring to Cornwall
please do let us know. These days are for you to further your knowledge and add
to your teaching so we would like to be able to offer days which give you what you
need and are interested in.
Finally, as some of you know I am a cycle and triathlon coach as well as yoga
teacher and my work is more frequently taking me away from the area. At times
my ability to do the County Rep role depends on European hotel wifi and I have to
play catch-up with communications when I return. If anyone would like to take the
County Rep role on this year then do please let me or Sue know.

range of needs from being physically challenged to suffering from anxiety and
learning difficulties.

YogaScene – Edition 1, 2019 13Wiltshire report
Kim Pierpoint
My name is Kim Pierpoint, I have been a BWY Teacher for 14 years, I
teach a range of styles including hatha, vinyasa and restorative/yin yoga.
I am a ‘full time’ yoga teacher, teaching a range of classes, one to ones,
workshops and retreats. I like to think that whilst yoga is a serious subject,
we can laugh in our practice, and incorporate laughter and smiling in all
my classes.
Since the first day I walked into a yoga class I loved it, and knew I would
teach it to others, eventually, even though I couldn’t do all the postures
(Even to this day, I’m still working on plenty).
Taking on the role of County Rep is an opportunity to ‘give back’ through
volunteering; I am looking forward to engaging with the members of the
South West region.
My other areas of interest are running, fitness, scuba diving, coffee and
CAKE!
If you’d like to get in touch to discuss future events, please don’t hesitate
to contact me on: crwilts.bwysouthwest@gmx.co.uk or call 07811 385 411

Working with Meditative Yoga Practices with Ranju Roy
27th April 2019 Cost: £60
Using the guidance found in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Chapter 3 vers-
es 1 to 8 we will explore the yogic definition of ‘mind’ and look at the three
inner limbs - dharana, dhyana and samadi. In this workshop we will explore
practical meditative yoga practices, including asana and pranayama, within
the framework suggested by TKV Desikachar.
Intuitive Alignment in Yoga with Lisa Peterson
18th and 19th May 2019 Cost: £140
This workshop will explore our relationship to our inner energetic centre
and how to integrate our spine, our limbs and ourselves to this central hub.
We will examine what happens when we learn to establish a strong yet
mobile core, and how the breath is the key to creating this. During the work-
shop, we will explore the art of vinyasa as a moving meditation, asana and
posture work, breathwork, somatic or guided self-enquiry, intero-reception
(our awareness of subtle, body based feelings or the ‘body-fulness’ of our
experience), and restorative Yoga.

Friday 24th to Sunday 26th May 2019
At Sarum College, Salisbury, a Grade I listed building devoted to peaceful
contemplation. Set in the quiet location of the Cathedral Close. Meetings
and practice sessions are in a room with a view across to the Cathedral.
‘THE INNER FORM OF ASANA’
Yoga postures are meant to be more than just a position we hold, but
something to be experienced from the inside out. As one of Patañjali’s

YogaScene – Edition 1, 2019T E A C H I N G P R A N A Y A M A To The Less Experienced
June 8/9 2019
A comprehensive course that will give a week by week detailed plan on how to start
the process of Teaching Pranayama from the first day that a student walks into your
class up to the end of Year 3.
PRANAYAMA FOUNDATION COURSE
Begins OCTOBER 12, 2019 and runs for 6 days spread roughly 4/5 weeks apart.
‘Prana is the bridge that leads into the deeper dimensions of Yoga. It is literally the
‘breath of life’ and forms the foundation upon which the energy aspect of Yoga is
built and developed’.
The Course offers an in depth, logical, structured and developmental approach to the
practice of Pranayama from its very beginnings, founded in the Mahat Yoga
Pranayama, up to, and including, its Classical expression as found in the Hatha Yoga
Pradipika.
BOTH COURSES ARE HELD AT THE LIGHT CENTRE, VICTORIA, LONDON
Philip has been teaching Yoga and Pranayama for over 30 years. He has spent many of
those years establishing a coherent system of Pranayama practice that is accessible to
all. He studied with Swami Gitananda in India in 1980, and founded Yoga Quests in
1984. His teaching is pragmatic and grounded, without ever losing touch with the
power and poignancy inherent in the practice. His teaching is, as always, delivered with
a sense of reverent humour.
