We only bring our training to Europe once a year, to our second home in Ireland. It’s your opportunity to get traditional teaching close to home.
This is our eighth year in the beautiful Irish city of Cork. We love the place so much that we now have two established Yoga Centres in the city.
We have one of the best yoga training teams there is and we bring our same world renowned team over from India to train with you in Cork.
We are a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance, Yoga Alliance Professionals (UK) and Canadian Yoga Alliance, which means when you graduate from our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training you are automatically eligible to become a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with any of these major certification bodies. Our course syllabus also exceeds the requirements for all other alliances so you will be able to register with any yoga certification body in the world.
Our training is designed to gradually build your confidence in actually teaching a yoga class. So when you leave you’ll have all of the skills and knowledge you need to start your new life as a Yoga Teacher.
Lots of people have taken our trainings with no plans to become a Yoga Teacher and just want to build their knowledge of yoga and improve their personal practice. Our four week course is the perfect foundation for anyone who simply wants to learn traditional yoga and integrate this incredible practice into their life.
Our Level I Yoga Teacher Training Practice Sequence is founded in the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series, a dynamic and flowing style of yoga that builds strength, flexibility and focus.
To compliment the Ashtanga style we also teach the fundamentals of Iyengar yoga, particularly focusing on precise alignment in poses, and the use of props and modifications to make the practice safe and accessible for all levels.
Our school director Yogacharya Lalit is a student of a long tradition of yoga from a direct line of Himalayan Masters. Lalit studied under his master Swami Veda Bhati and Grandmaster Swami Rama, who founded the famous Himalayan Institute, and on our Yoga Teacher Training you will learn meditation and philosophy in alignment with this ancient lineage.
Our Yoga Teacher Training in Cork is non-residential. We have a number of recommended accommodation options in the city that are affordable, clean and just minutes from your training location.
A number of your asana workshops will be held at our beautiful Yoga Centre in Penrose Wharf, just five minutes walk from the city centre. Your daily lectures will be in St Aloysious School, in their beautiful Victorian school’s library and hall. The school is right by the River Lee just minutes from the centre.
Find out just why it’s called “The City of Welcomes”, and enjoy four weeks of summer in the idyllic Irish city of Cork. It’s been voted as one of the world’s top 10 city destinations for the last several years by Lonely Planet. Not only is Cork a beautiful historic place, it’s also Ireland’s most exciting and vibrant city of culture.
