I've Never Taught Before

The students bodies are the greatest teachers they have. Our job is to support our students to listen to their body. It’s not as easy as it sounds. But by the end of the 12 months you will have the skill and confidence to lead a class.

I'm Not Sure I Want to Teach

We bring you on an in-depth journey through the 4 pillars of yoga and the science behind them. The whole training is designed to be experiential, so you will get great benefit from just doing the training to deepen your own practice and understanding. In fact it is one of the most powerful ways to approach the training

I've Been doing Yoga for a Long Time

Fantastic, join us and discover what’s next … Each students journey is very personal, so this will give you the skills to review your journey and to see it from another point of view. This yoga teacher training course offers a deeper exploration into yoga than any retreat or class can.

I'm Too New to Yoga

We all come with different backgrounds and experience of life. We require an openness and a curiosity to learn. Some times beginners mind is an easier starting place then coming form a fixed form of practice. Book a call below to chat to one of the faculty

I Don’t have a yoga body :)

Most of us don’t … and even those with ‘yoga bodies’ generally can’t do the ‘Instagram poses’.

I think it’s funny, how when I started doing yoga all of the images were of older, very very thin Indian Men. Now the dominant image is a young muscular woman. Go girl power. However, now it’s time for us ‘normal’ (whatever that means) folk to reclaim the image of yoga. And remember, as each of us steps up we automatically give others the permission to do the same.

And If your lucky enough to be a 20-year-old gymnast, you too are very welcome. During the training, we can show you what you need to do to keep yourself safe, and injury-free

I'm Too Old/Young

If your breathing you can do yoga, if you can do yoga you can inspire others to try it out. We have teachers from 18 to 78 years old. Older then 78 …. cool … I’ll have to update this page if you join us. During the 12 months you will have the opportunity to explore and to find your people. Depending on what you love doing, thats what you will teach. So maybe you cant do a head stand. Thats fine, don’t teach head stands. Yoga is sooooo much more than a hand full of poses. We are interested in functional strength and fitness of our body, mind and spirit.

Already completed a 200hr TT

But don’t feel you have the skills to start teaching - this will be perfect for you. We go deep into functional anatomy for the classroom. We focus on the skills you need to be able to enter the world as a competent professional yoga teacher

Asana

Dive deep into your practice. We will support you explore form and flow. For each pose … we investigate the ‘why’, and explore how it can be used or adjusted to support the deepening of grace and freedom within your body and the body of your students. You will learn functional alignment, as appropriate to your student (check out Leslie Kaminoff & Amy Matthews). In the physiology modules we introduce the nervous system, cardiovascular system and respiratory system. During the training you will be guided on a journey into your own embodied, somatically lead practice, empowering you to experience these ideas and learn from the inside out.

Pranayama

As a newly trained Yoga Therapist I worked in a rehabilitation center. Each student had different limitations. One student was unable to move any part of their body independently, except her eyes. I spent a year working with them on their breath. In the beginning I was wrecked with self doubt, thinking I was not doing enough. ”How could I be paid to teach someone to breathe?” I learned so much from these students … The power and the value of the breath … In my public classes, it’s exactly the same. People may feel they are doing something with the asana, but to see the powerful changes in them, at every level. once they allow themselves to breathe, always amaze me. Do not under estimate the power of Pranayama. And definitely do not assume “every one knows how to breathe”. During this training you will be supported to observe your breath. To learn to read the secret messages it sends to the rest of your body, especially your nervous system. You will also be guided in a number of practices, and supported to develop the skill to share them with your students.

Meditation

”Quiet the mind and the soul will speak”, Ma Jaya Sati Bhagaviti. I came to meditation to help me manage stress. Today I meditate to rest back into stillness and wisdom. During the training we will introduced you to a number of difference meditation practices. You will be supported and encouraged to explore and develop your own practice. This experience will form the foundation to exploring common barriers to meditation. We will bring you though a number of different techniques and approaches overcoming these barriers so you have choices when working with students.

Meditation is a way to nourish yourself

and allow your wisdom and vision grow

Anatomy

Our study of integrated anatomy will inform your practice, your language and your teaching. While we begin with a systemized, functional exploration of the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system, the respiration system and the cardiovascular system, we then take a critical step, missing in most teacher trainings. We reintegrate it all. Having Gill Headley (check him out on youtube) as one of her primary anatomy teachers, Laura will guide you through how we as integrated beings can use yoga as an integrated system to promote health and create grace and flow for ourselves and our students. We will identify common ailments and you will gain the confidence and knowledge to be able to empower your students to practice in a way that is appropriate to them and their body.

The Science behind Yoga

Philosophy

Philosophy can be seen as something to be studied, I consider it something to be lived. We do delve into the Bhagavad Gita and the Yamas and Niyamas, but not with the aim of being able to quote them. This philosophy is designed to be a lived experience, which you will be invited to integrate into your relationship with yourself, your friends and family and your students & the communities you serve. The Purusharthas will inform the whole course. How can you live your dream, find joy and prosperity, and ultimately achieve freedom. The training is only for one year, maybe it will be a pivotal year for you. Integrating a lived philosophical foundation can really support you make conscious choices and live an awakened life.

The Craft of Teaching

As every one who has ever been in school knows - knowing something and being able to teach it are two different things. Receiving the information is very different to exploring it, integrating it and deeply understanding it. Equally understanding something doesn't guarantee you can teach it.

As a teacher or trainer all her life, Laura is passionate about supporting you to be an exceptional teacher. This involves more than being able to break down a pose. Finding your voice takes time, however the processes is radially accelerated by the supportive training methods Laura has designed. As a result by the end of the training you will be confident and capable to teach public yoga classes should this be the path that calls you.

Yoga is Both an ART and a SCIENCE

Teaching Yoga is a CRAFT

The Business of Yoga

ransferring your spiritual practice to the economic world ethically

Too often people join a Teacher Training course thinking only about the yoga. And for some that is perfect. You may just want to deepen your understanding, awareness and appreciation for your amazing body, mind and spirit. And if that is the case this is the course for you. However if you would like to make a career change, be aware, most training don’t offer much if any business training. Laura comes from a training and business background. During her time a a yoga teacher, Laura has been employed by many different types of organisations, and today runs her own studio in Kildare. Her expertise will be combined with that of expert guest speakers through out the training; looking at a number of important areas, including keeping accounts, the legal side, pricing, marketing, becoming your own brand. Again, Laura will gently bring you through the process, so by the end of the training you will have the confidence and ability to establish yourself as an independent yoga teacher should that be your calling.

Head of Faculty

Laura Wynne B.Sc. M.Sc. B.A. (Psych)

Laura has been practicing yoga asana, meditating and teaching for almost 35 years. “ “While I always teach Hatha yoga I have been influenced by different schools along my way. I began when I was 18. After 6 years of practice I could still only just about do a headstand against the wall. In my 20’s and early 30’s I found an amazing teacher Linda S. I loved crab (because I could never do it as a child), shoulder stand and plow (We now know practicing shoulder-stand the way I did 20 years ago is not good for your body). Then came 3 children, pregnancy yoga and lots of sleepless nights.  By my early 40’s I craved something stronger, and had a daily ashtanga practice for a number of years.’ Now at 50 I am really enjoying the freedom and flow of embodied somatic movements. I am much more interested in the why and how then the what”.

Having a background in Yoga Therapy Laura has always known the importance in adjusting the pose to suit the student. Her love of anatomy and learning informs all her teaching. However her practice has now developed to include a somatic embodied approach.
