Dear AIY Teacher Member

As you will be aware, 18th January 2020 has been nominated as National Iyengar Yoga Day (see the IY(UK) email of 17/10/19). Iyengar teachers around the country are encouraged to offer free classes and events to raise awareness of Iyengar Yoga.

The AIY are keen to support planned events and consequently are offering a £40 grant towards each class/event run.

Your event does not have to be a class, and you don’t need to be a teacher to run an event: it could be a social event such as a coffee morning or a talk.

To register your event with the AIY, email Diana Penny (diana@yogawest.co.uk) to let us know you are participating, ideally providing the link to your event listed on the IY map (see below). You will get an acknowledgement with information about how to claim after the event.

Diana will distribute flyers and PR information received from the IY to those participating. You are encouraged to take photos on the day and send them along with a brief report and any feedback from attendees of your event to the IY.

This is a great opportunity to publicise Iyengar yoga in the West Country: the more we can all do to spread the word, the more successful the day will be.

The link to list your event on the IY(UK) website is here:

Participation Encouraged

Whether or not you are offering a class, do you have any ideas of supporting events/pr that you could organise for the NIYD in the AIY area, eg flash yoga mobs, interviews with local media, poster distribution?

Please email diana@yogawest.co.uk if you can get involved.

Diana Penny, on behalf of The AIY Committee
