The success of yoga does not lie in the ability to perform postures but in how it positively changes the way we live our life and our relationships

– TKV Desikachar

The Society of Yoga Practitioners (TSYP) is a UK based training organisation, dedicated to training Yoga teachers, Yoga therapists and Vedic chanting teachers to the highest UK and international standards.

We believe that by using all the tools of yoga in an intelligent way, yoga can be accessible to anyone – irrespective of age, ability, gender or religion – for healing and transformation.
