Your daily Sudoku puzzle
Our webmaster is something of a Sudoku fanatic. When he is not beavering away, keeping this website running smoothly or developing other sites (some with Yoga connections), he keeps his little grey cells active with a daily stint of Sudoku.

Locum Yoga Teachers
A recent development on this website is the implementation of a Locum Yoga Teachers list, which is accessible via a link at the top of the Classes page. This list gives details of teachers who have registered with this website and who are willing to stand in for other teachers who, because of illness or for other reasons, are unable to teach their classes.
BWY-qualified teachers who are willing to help their colleagues in the BWYEM area in this way are asked to register their availability as soon as possible, using the Locum registration form which may also be accessed via a link at the top of the Classes page.
