Chris asked me to contact you all to ask if you might consider taking on the role of FRYOG Secretary.

Yoga Alliance has recently changed their credentialing requirements for Registered Yoga Schools and having canvassed our existing tutors’ it was unanimously decided that as from August 2020 we will no longer continue with this affiliation. Since registering our Teacher training course with Yoga Alliance over 10 years ago we have only had Eleven FRYOG teachers register with them individually. For those eleven teachers who have already registered this will not make any difference to your YA registration and you can continue to renew in the usual way.
