IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FIRST AID TRAINING
First aid training is now the responsibility of the BWY teacher and needs updating every three years. The course must be a recognised First Aid at Work course which will be of FIVE hours duration. From 2010 the First Aid trainings days no longer count towards CPD points but it is part of the health and safety aspect of teaching yoga and a necessary aspect of keeping up to date. BWY Insurance will be invalid if one's first aid certificate is out of date. Thanks, Elaine Powell, RTO
