The History of Yoga Alliance Professionals
Yoga Alliance UK was officially established in 2006 by Brian Cooper and Bruce C. Mackay.
Together they opened Union Yoga Studio in 2004. Brian ran the Teacher Training program while Bruce managed the studio and workshop program. It involved inviting many top name teachers from around the globe to teach in Scotland and the UK.
By 2006 the overwhelming feedback from visiting senior teachers and Brian's teacher training courses was that the level of practice and teaching was dropping dramatically.
