Yoga teachers' perceptions of the move to online classes during the COVID19 crisis
Participant Information and Informed Consent

You are being asked to take part in this survey because are a yoga teacher or recent yoga teacher training student in the U.K.  Our approach as teachers had to change during the COVID19 pandemic and the resulting closure of our studios and gym, and your experiences of this time will be really useful in understanding yoga teaching in the U.K.
You are being asked to complete a short online survey through Google forms, which will cover your background as a teacher, your reaction to any changes you made during the pandemic, and your plans for moving forward.  The questionnaire shouldn’t take longer than ten minutes, unless you’d like to add extra comments, which are most welcome. There is no pressure to complete the survey but your responses could be very helpful in understanding the challenges facing the profession, and to help training providers identify ways they might be able to help teacher development in future.
Your responses will be anonymised and all raw data will be stored on a secure drive.  A summary of the results from the study will be made available in the form of an article.  The study has been approved by the Ethics Committee at the University of the West of Scotland (approval ID2020-13323-11659) and if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the lead researcher Dr Laura Graham (laura.graham@uws.ac.uk).
