Green Lotus Yoga Teacher Training school was established in 2007 by Carol Murphy. Carol is teaching yoga 23 years and training yoga teachers in Ireland and internationally for the past 13 years. The style of asana taught on the trainings is “Progressive Vinyasa”– a style of vinyasa that is breath-centred, flowing, creative and holistic. It is called “progressive” because it incorporates modern vinyasa approaches and also because the sequencing progresses students forward in their development, using an intelligence based on synergistic yoga anatomy, myo-fascial meridians, functional movement and universal principles of alignment. Progressive Vinyasa also embraces the wisdom of subtle energetics and incorporates pranayama techniques to strengthen and nourish the inner body and mind. This approach to vinyasa is in many respects western in orientation and yet infused with the wisdom of Patanjali, Vedic and Tantric philosophies, touching the heart of yoga.

“The Art of Teaching Yoga” is a manual for yoga teacher and trainees. This 169 page book offers clear and concise detail outlining yoga instruction, alignment details, common weaknesses teachers need to look out for in the classroom, adjustments and more on a variety of asanas from beginners to advanced. There is also a large section on “Teaching Skills” covering topics such as the importance of observation and demonstration, sequencing, structuring, pacing and principles of vinyasa. This manual is used on all of the Green Lotus Yoga Teacher Trainings. It is also becoming popular with teachers who have trained in other schools who wish to deepen their knowledge of all aspects of teaching yoga. Many students say it has become their bible for class planning and reference. A must for teachers and trainees who would like to expand their knowledge of yoga and gain more confidence in their teaching skills.
