British Wheel of Yoga
It is recognised by Sport England as the governing body of yoga in Britain.[1] In 1973, it gained charitable status and in 1974 it changed its name to the British Wheel of Yoga.[1][2] At the 2009 AGM, the organisation split in two with the establishment of The British Wheel of Yoga Limited and The British Wheel of Yoga Qualifications Limited.[3] As a result, yoga teacher training and certification are handled independently by the two bodies.[3] The BWY is recognised by Sport England as the governing body of yoga in Britain (and in Northern Ireland, the Yoga Fellowship of Northern Ireland), though without power to enforce decisions.
