Our 2nd Yoga Teachers Together Gathering takes place at Hillscourt in the heart of the Lickey Hills near Birmingham, ensuring that we are centrally located and easily accessible by public transport, with just a short Uber ride from Longbridge Station, which is itself a 10-minute train journey from Birmingham New Street Station.

Hillscourt is the home of NASUWT, the teachers’ union.  The main building is an old school, as evidenced from the period architectural features and stained glass school mottos in the dining room. In addition to this old school charm, Hillscourt houses a large full equipped conference hall where we will be holding our Yoga sessions; which include everything from Ashtanga with Zoe Porter & Dynamic Yoga with our Chair Debbie Farrar, to Yoga Philosophy with New Yorker Sanskrit Teacher Elena Jessup, Pranayama with YTT Web Manager James Russell and a relaxing Saturday night Sound Bath with Helena Turner.

We also have access to Hillscourt’s bar, where our Treasurer and Membership Secretary Felicity Pryke will be hosting our Saturday night Yoga Quiz, for the night owls among us.  Bring your own team with you, or make up a team when you arrive with your new yoga friends.

Accommodation is luxurious! We will each have our own private room and bathroom. The dining facilities at Hillscourt are top-notch, too. The dining hall is a magnificent room with high ceilings and stained glass windows. Here we will enjoy a buffet-style breakfast, with the choice of Continental or Full English.  All dietary requirements can be catered for, just don’t forget to tell us your needs when you book.  Lunch is buffet style too.  However, dining is an à la carte seated meal where you can chat to new friends and old, whilst enjoying award-winning food.  See the sample menu.

There are a number of communal areas, so you can either socialise with your fellow yoga teachers over coffee in the Bar or find a quiet corner in the grounds to settle down with a book or journal.

Arrivals will be between 11am –12pm on Saturday, 25th July, where we will greet you with refreshments in the Bar. On Sunday, 26th July, after an eclectic mixture of yoga sessions from Yoga Elders Jacqueline Godfrey, Simon Hunt and our Secretary Karen Hadgett, we will enjoy a farewell lunch together before going our separate ways at 1pm, leaving us plenty of time to travel home.
