Yoga teachers' working patterns
Occasionally I conduct informal research with my followers to get a sense of what life is like for yoga teachers at the moment. This doesn't have the rigour of a full research project. It's more a way to get a sense of overall trends and patterns.

This time, I am thinking about the kinds of roles and contexts that you might teach in. Please complete this form if you have worked in some way teaching yoga in the last year.

The questions here are designed to help you to be reflective about your journey, motivations and experiences. As such, it may take 10-30 minutes to complete, but it is my hope that the process will be of benefit to you. There are sixteen questions, divided into five sections, and please answer as many as you feel comfortable with.

This data will be used to inform future research and training by myself and trusted partners. It may also be used in publications. Your words may be quoted. There is a space for you to say whether you would like any quotations to be anonymous. Otherwise, this data will be treated sensitively and not used for marketing purposes.

With thanks, and in solidarity,
Theo Wildcroft.
