After more than 11 years as a Community Interest Company (CIC), we are beginning the next chapter of our journey as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).

What began as an idea around a kitchen table has grown into a thriving community organisation: supporting health and wellbeing across Herefordshire, creating jobs, developing innovative projects, and helping make yoga more accessible to people from all walks of life.

Becoming a charity will allow us to build on this work and strengthen our future, with greater opportunities for fundraising, community support and long-term sustainability. Most importantly, it reflects our ongoing commitment to bringing the benefits of yoga to the whole community — regardless of age, ability, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic background or sexuality.

As part of this transition, we are looking for new Trustees to help shape the future of Hereford Yoga.

We would especially (but not exclusively) love to hear from people with experience in charitable governance, health or education, as well as those from underrepresented backgrounds, younger people and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Experience of the benefits of Iyengar yoga is essential.

If you are interested in finding out more, just drop us an email– we’d love to hear from you!
