What-students-say
I completed 100 hours of Yin and Restorative Yoga with Carol. I thoroughly enjoyed the instruction and found Carol's knowledge to be top class. She is relatable, personable and I learned a lot about so many different aspects of Yoga. She has a vast amount of training done across numerous different modalities and has a skill in distilling this to her students. I am looking forward to returning west where I can train with her again.
Stephan BunnyYin Yoga Teacher - Kildare
" The Green Lotus Yoga Breath Coach Training was an amazing and eye opening experience. Carol is an incredible teacher. Understanding our breath on this deeper level has helped me with my own practice and overall wellbeing. It's an incredible gift to be able to give yourself and others. Thank you Carol for such a fantastic course. I can't wait for the next one!"
Hannah HealyBreath Coach - Galway
The YTT was an experience I will never forget. The course content was very diverse and well balanced. Alignment is key in Carols work, and I am grateful to have built a solid foundation for my teaching journey ahead. Carol is an extremely knowledgable and inspiring teacher and I really enjoyed studying yoga anatomy, philosophy, Ayurveda and all the other subjects with her.
Lianne Bloemen200 hr Vinyasa Yoga teacher - London
The manuals written by Carol are a fantastic resource, very well laid out and thorough. Carol is extremely knowledgable and experienced in her teaching and I would highly recommend any of her courses to anyone to is considering a yoga teacher training or qualified teachers who wish to develop their training and knowledge base.
Sinead Keane 500 hr Yoga teacher and Physio - Mayo
Carol brings her passion, knowledge and wisdom to each training.Over the last few months I have learned so much not only about yoga but about myself. I am beyond thankful to Carol and the teaching she provides. After many hours of debating was this the course for me, as soon as I entered into the tranquil yoga studio space and was met with a warm welcome smile, I knew I had made the right decision. I would highly recommend her training or classes to anyone who wants to move from a more embodied way through yoga.
Clare LoughraneYin Yoga Teacher - Galway
“It was an amazing experience! I loved the yoga anatomy of this program. The course content is super from all aspects. The Ayurveda and Philosophy sessions were meaningful and beautiful! I sincerely thank Carol for putting all this together in this training. I highly recommend this TTC for not only learning how to teach but also for enhancing one’s self-practice and awareness about life in general. Will definitely do the 300 hr TTC after two years !!
Monika Bansal200 hr Vinyasa Yoga teacher - Mumbai
"I recently attended a weekend yoga course focused on Women's Health and Ayurveda, with Carol and it exceeded all my expectations! Carol is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects, creating an atmosphere of warmth and openness from the start. Each session was thoughtfully crafted to blend yoga, Ayurvedic principles, and practical tips for enhancing women's well-being. Not only did I leave feeling physically rejuvenated, but I also gained a deeper understanding of how to nurture my body and mind in alignment with nature's rhythms. I highly recommend this course to any woman looking to prioritise their health and holistic wellness!"
Finola TullyWomen's Health Teacher - Ireland
“Carol delivered everything promised of her 200 hour Vinyasa training, and more! She was supportive, encouraging, kind, intelligent and talented in her work as a teacher. Carol’s intelligence and sensitivity towards the individual needs of her students is, I believe, what makes her so special. She is highly educated, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she does."
Jessica Des Landes200 hr Vinyasa Yoga teacher - London
Breath Coach with Carol at Green Lotus was one of my favourite yoga trainings to date. Learning about the Breath and Breath practices in a unique way that has since I have trained absolutely transformed the way I teach breathing exercises. It also gave me the chance to connect deeper with my own breath practices. The training covers the science of breathing in a well to understand way and modules are also covering breath techniques for anxiety, trauma, stress relevant to the world we live in today. Subtle Energetics are also included and this really helps to go deeper with practice. I really loved this training and feel very equipped to work in one to one settings facilitating people to learn to breathe. I can not recommend Breath Coach enough and feel very lucky to be on the 300 hour training at Green Lotus.
Tanja ThomasBreath Coach and 300 hr Therapeutic Yoga Teacher
I am a Mum. I work a full time job and my days are full. I knew it would be difficult for me to doing a full 300 hr Yoga course online. But then I came across Green Lotus Yoga. After my first weekend, dipping my toes in, I knew this path would be for me. The flexibility and timings of the modules fit in with my life perfectly. Carol is professional at orchestrating the online aspect of her classes. She is passionate about yoga and keep to share her depth of knowledge and years of experience. Her manuals are a delight, concise, colourful and well written. The online materials an quizzes are easy to follow and of a very high standard. I am continuing my 300 hr journey and enjoying every minute of it.
Maria O GOrman300 hr Therapeutic Yoga teacher - Dublin
Carol’s yoga teacher training intensive is just that; intensive. It is also a life changing. Carol has a wealth of knowledge and a deep love for the many and varied facets of yoga. Having spent years obtaining this knowledge, it is clear she has a desire to share it. This makes for fascinating insights into the world of yoga both on a practical level -with detailed anatomy lectures and on a spiritual/emotional level. She offers support but more importantly gives her students the tools to manage for themselves. Her training offers a safe exploration into the world of meditation and spirituality, where people are held and supported appropriately.
Jo Stephans200 hr Vinyasa Yoga teacher - London
After many years of loving yoga and going to classes I eventually made the decision to take a yoga teacher training course. I signed up with Carol Murphy at Green Lotus Yoga in Gort Co. Galway for a 200hr Yin and Restorative course. I can say without hesitation it was a most enjoyable and comprehensive training experience, plus we had access to so much interesting information. Particularly useful to me was the "Unwind Restorative Yoga Manual" that Carol made available to our group. This manual became invaluable tool especially as I was only beginning my you yoga journey. I found myself referencing the manual so many times and it is a resource I know I will continue to use and refer to for the foreseeable. Many Thanks
Kay O Mahony 200 hr Yin Fusion Yoga teacher - Limerick
“I honestly don’t think I could have chosen a better teacher training. Carol’s depth of experience and knowledge across Iyengar, Ashtanga, anatomy and philosophy allows her to give her trainees the strongest of foundations from which to both practice and teach yoga. Her love, passion and respect for the teachings infused every class, and the course content consistently spoke to the heart of the yoga journey'.
Robyn Cherwell200 hr Vinyasa Yoga Teacher - London
The PDF manuals that came with the 300 hr were fantastic. The Zoom sessions were great and it was my first time ever on Zoom so I learnt so much. I did all the Zoom sessions from Bahrain and apart from a few sound issues every now and then( which is perfectly normal), visuals and sound were spot on. I really enjoyed the recordings as when I was unsure or a bit lost I could pause, reread, contemplate and start again.
Deirdre Long300 hr Therapeutic Yoga teacher - Bahrain
Carol's years of dedication to yoga have provided an extraordinary depth of knowledge and experience of all its aspects. She combines a refreshing strictness with a sensitivity to spirit that provides an intellectually, physically and emotionally challenging and life enriching experience. I thoroughly recommend her and the training course she has created."
Johnny Patterson200 hr Vinyasa Yoga teacher - London
"The breath coach training was a breath of fresh air -pun intended. I really loved how Carol merged the ancient tradition of pranayama with modern science and music. I am coming out of it feeling empowered in my life and my teaching, with really valuable tools. Carol is extremely knowledgeable and the training was taught with passion and humour, which made it an even more enjoyable experience!"
Sofia AnandaBreath Coach and 300 hr Therapeutic Yoga Teacher - Spain
"Carol has much knowledge in anatomy, alignment and yoga philosophy. All in all, I found the 200 hr Vinyasa TTC to cover a broad spectrum of important and interesting topics, for which I will always be grateful."
Michael Caleb200 hr Vinyasa Yoga teacher - London
What an experience! Carol guided me to break boundaries - both mental and physical. Her teaching voice is compassionate yet authoritative, with the right amount of fun thrown in. She always strive to be "heart-ful" in her teaching ... Iook her up. It may very well be the best thing you ever did. For me, it's definitely up there.
Leah Egan200 hr Yoga teacher - London
"Thanks again for a wonderful month of growth, inspiration and transformation, and all the love and energy that you give to your teaching!"
Fiona Ashley 200 hr Vinyasa Yoga teacher - London

Liz Kirby200 hr Vinyasa Yoga teacher - London

Maija Meijere200 hr Vinyasa Yoga teacher - Latvia
"During the course, from a physio point of view too, I always really loved, trusted and respected the work and way you brought and presented the teachings.”
Grainne Flannery200 hr Vinyasa Yoga teacher - Galway
