Who We Are:

We are a group of qualified yoga teachers, student teachers, retired teachers, and foundation course students in the North Cumbria area.

The NLYG membership is open to ALL yoga disciplines.

Aims of the Group:

The main aim is to enable peer support, sharing of knowledge, experience and networking within the group. This is done by meeting 4 times a year to share a practical yoga session. Our website lists your yoga classes, other yoga related events within Cumbria and information about our membership.

Participation:

We meet 4 times a year usually at MUNGRISDALE VILLAGE HALL. Meetings are usually scheduled in September, November, March and June. September, November and March we have a practice session guided by a teacher within the group, followed by a shared lunch with the chance to converse with each other and any topics for discussion can be brought up.

The June meeting is different – a special event – an Open Day – where we invite a prominent guest teacher. On this day members can invite their enthusiastic students to attend, see events for details.

Organisation:

The NLY Group was founded in September 2005 by Gina Farncombe and Linda Allam.

The organisation is run on a volunteer basis with organisers handing on their responsibilities every 2 years to another group member. The current organisation team are Jackie Oliver-Watts, Gina and Linda.
