Grant for Yoga Teacher Training

As a local yoga teacher here in Usk, in 2019 I applied to the Trust for funding to support formal accredited training through the study of a Diploma with The Institute for Integrative Bodywork & Movement Therapy www.Ibmt.co.uk.  This takes a holistic approach to movement education and therapy through bodywork and movement bringing that connection and wisdom to the body and mind from within; there is a creativity to the practice.  This work was very much new to me and I felt it would be both personally rewarding but also compliment my yoga teaching here in Usk. The grant has not only provided the financial opportunity to undertake this course but also the interest the Trust has shown in this area of study through my application has felt incredibly supportive. 

It is a rich and rewarding opportunity to return to formal study, in particular as a mature student. Regardless of our age, or background, I feel it’s important to have an interest in learning and study and I am very grateful for the Trusts support to me on this journey. Alongside the learning I have become part of a wider community of practitioners when we come together through this work and I am currently continuing with this study.
