Happy International Yoga Day 🧘‍♀️🙏🏽🧘‍♀️

Meet Sonia who also recently qualified as a 500hr yoga teacher with Yoga Therapy Ireland. An honour to have tutored this wonderful group for the last 2 yrs. 🤗 wishing you all the very best xx

Having just completed her final training weekend, here's what Sonia had to say about our course:

'I took part in the Yoga Therapy Ireland teacher training course, which began in September 2019. The course is very comprehensive covering all aspects of yoga from asana practice, teaching skills, meditation, philosophy, anatomy and physiology.
The course tutors Marie, Elaine and Helena are brilliant, they have extensive knowledge and were very supportive and encouraging throughout the course. The group dynamic was amazing and I have definitely made some friends for life. With the global pandemic, our course had to be transferred to online learning. The atmosphere continued to be very supportive and the group connection was strong. The course is very interesting and challenging but it is also very rewarding and I would, without a doubt, definitely recommend. It has been an amazing journey of self-discovery and awareness.'

'Hi I’m Liz, I started my YTI journey in 2018 when I did the Foundation Course which made me want to have a deeper knowledge and understanding of yoga and led me directly to the YTI Two Year Teacher Training Course. I have now just completed this course, which I can honestly say was a most amazing learning experience. It is much more than just learning to teach yoga asanas; it encourages a whole yoga lifestyle. The content of the course, that included modules on Anatomy & Physiology, Yoga- related Philosophy, Teaching Skills, Breathwork and Meditation was delivered by our expert tutors, Marie and Elaine. Both ladies have incredible yoga knowledge and wisdom which they so generously passed on to us via their own wonderful teaching skills. The structure of the course is designed to instil confidence in the student’s ability to teach, right from day one, offering encouragement and support at all times along the way. An added bonus was getting to know my lovely fellow students, like-minded people, whose support and encouragement was truly invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend this course, while it involved a lot of hard work, it was also such a rewarding and fulfilling experience.
Namaste'

Meet Caroline, who’s on her last weekend of training 😍

Caroline is another of our newly qualified yoga teachers. Hear what she has to say about our Teacher Training course:

'Before I embarked on this wonderful journey becoming a yoga teacher, I had many doubts, especially which school should I choose? Writing this on the week when I finish this 2-year yoga teacher training, I couldn't be happier about my decision. YTI's 2-year yoga teacher training has been a wonderful experience! I can't say it was easy - it certainly wasn't! So much work, studying and time had to be put into it but I can honestly say it was worth it. My amazing tutors, Marie and Elaine have a huge knowledge of yoga and its history and philosophy as well as anatomy & physiology. At the same time, they have been so kind and encouraging and strongly supported me and the whole group throughout this training.

YTI really focuses on making yoga accessible to everyone. So much was covered in the Anatomy & Physiology module - from the anatomy of the human body to various medical conditions yoga teachers may encounter in their students when teaching, and how to approach them. A pregnancy module was included as well. First Aid course and a Child Protection module were also included also which is great for those who want to teach children. In year two each training weekend we discussed each chakra in detail, worked on mudras, bandhas as well as beginner and advanced pranayama techniques. Basic and advanced yoga asanas were also broken down into parts, explaining safety points and what to watch out for when teaching those asanas. We also had a lot of workshops with other YTI teachers and they were truly amazing - all the teachers were so knowledgeable!

I also have to say it has been a wonderful spiritual journey for me. I will carry the YTI techniques that were taught to me for the rest of my life.

After the 2 year training, I feel confident to teach yoga to the public. I have taught in person and online so far, and it has been a great experience. YTI certainly prepared all of us for teaching both online and in public. I wouldn't have done it without YTI. I highly recommend this school if you're thinking of becoming a yoga teacher!'

As the last weekend of tutoring approaches this coming weekend (the last of 2yrs), see below how one of our students found the course. 🧘‍♀️😍🧘‍♀️

If you are thinking of training as a yoga teacher with Yoga Therapy Ireland - be inspired by Roisin's testimonial below. (Email [email protected] for course details)

'I have just completed the 2 yr yoga teacher training course with YTI, it’s been the most amazing and life changing experience for me and my family. When I started this course I was very apprehensive and very unsure if I would actually be able to teach yoga, I knew I loved yoga, it’s been such a huge part of my life. Now that I have completed the course I feel totally ready and confident to teach. Elaine and Marie have been the most wonderful and inspiring tutors. Their level of knowledge of all things Yoga is second to none; from yoga philosophy to the anatomy and physiology of yoga. I feel I have learned so much. The two years are finished now and although I am a little sad the course is over, I feel ready and fully empowered to continue on this amazing yoga journey in my own way. I have met friends for life, never before have I been surrounded by and been part of such an amazing, encouraging and like minded group of people. I would absolutely 100% recommend this course to anyone thinking of doing yoga teacher training, even if you don’t want to teach yoga you will blossom in a way you never knew you could'.
