ONLINE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
200 HR ONLINE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
with Carol Murphy Tashi Dawa and Kevin Boyle
Feb 15th - March 14th 2021
Carol Murphy, Kevin Boyle and Tashi Dawa join forces to bring you this incredible online training, which combines Progressive Vinyasa, mobility and the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga method. This training is scientific in nature but also delves into the spiritual spaces that science cannot reach.
This online Yoga Alliance certified training offers at least 60% live-streamed interactive Zoom classes to ensure that you receive the personal attention needed to train as a yoga teacher. The remaining hours are delivered as pre-recorded lectures. This training allows you to train as a yoga teacher over 28 days in the comfort of your own home and equips you with everything you need to deepen your practice and share the teachings professionally with others.
WHAT MAKES THIS TRAINING SPECIAL

You will be challenged to move beyond self-limiting beliefs that hold you back from moving forward towards your goal. This is a physically, mentally and spiritually demanding experience. It is both intense and wonderfully rewarding.
Many have told us it has been life-changing.

PROGRESSIVE VINYASA
Progressive Vinyasa is a style of vinyasa that is flowing, creative and intelligent. It is called “progressive” because it incorporates modern vinyasa approaches, like ladder flows, mandala flows etc; it is also progressive because the sequencing progresses up to peak poses and/or a “focus” section where new poses are introduced and broken down synergistically.. Additionally progressive vinyasa, progresses students forward in their development using an intelligence in sequencing based on cutting edge knowledge of yoga anatomy and universal principles of alignment.
TEACHING SKILLS
There are daily Teaching Methodology classes, so that you will feel prepared for the classroom and feel fully equipped to deliver the work after you graduate. You will be taught a specific methodology with sequencing options and alignment principles that create structures to intelligently inform your classes, which also allow enough flexibility for you to develop your own individual teaching voice as an expression of your authentic self and your relationship with the practice.
ANATOMY
The yoga anatomy taught on the 200 hr trainings is cutting edge. It incorporates principle of biomechanics, synergy and myofascial meridians. These classes allows you to dive into a deeper relationship with your body on and off the mat. They also equip you to understanding other people’s bodies in relation to postural holdings and common troubleshooting areas in relation to asana.
PRANIC HEALING ENERGY WORK AND MEDITATIONS
- The 5 sheaths meditation.
- Witness based meditations
- Kundalini chakra meditations
- Heart based meditations

PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy on our trainings is delivered in a non-dogmatic way and invites group discussion where all beliefs and opinions are respected. We use class discussions, circles, artwork, chanting, empathetic listening and meditation processes to explore the spiritual systems of Patanjali’s sutras, Vedanta, Advaita Vedanta, Samkhya and Tantra. We believe that these spiritual systems all offer a different perspective of the same truth and we hope that in our explorations, students can find in these belief systems, tools to strengthen the mind, emotions and spirit, a spiritual rock to lean on in times of need, deeper insight to our true nature and a deeper sense of worth that lies inherent in our being. It is a true blessing to be able to explore this work within a group and many students have told us that that this part of the training has been life changing for them.
THE TRAINING COURSE
Is this Training certified by Yoga Alliance?
This training is certified by Yoga Alliance Professionals (The U.K Yoga Alliance) and Yoga Alliance (U.S). Both Yoga Alliance bodies have given us permission to continue our 2020 trainings online due to COVID.
Is there any pre-requisites to entering this training ?
We advise 2 years practice before embarking on a Yoga TTC. This is enough time to give students a firm foundation for the work involved on a TTC and also gives people a base to reach the level expected for graduation. Sometimes people achieve this foundation after a year or so of practice; there are always exceptions, but as a general, we recommend 2 years. If you are unsure if you have enough experience, please contact us at carol@greenlotusyoga.com
What style of yoga will I be trained to teach?
On this training we put a lot of focus on preparing trainees for the classroom. The style of yoga trainees are trained to teach is called Progressive Vinyasa. This is a style of vinyasa that is flowing, creative and intelligent. As this style of yoga is flexible in nature, teachers also have the option of calling the classes that they teach alignment based Hatha yoga, Flow yoga or Power yoga, Core flow etc. As this particular training also offers Ashtanga Yoga, students will be also taught how to teach the first half of Primary series and so can also teach Ashtanga yoga. As Progressive Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga are very compatible in nature, sharing the same core principles and many poses in their sequencing, students can also combines the 2 offering a fusion of Ashtanga based Vinyasa.
Will I have the opportunity to teach on the training course?
Yes you will. There are daily Teaching Methodology classes. We will use “skype’ and/or “zoom’ to facilitate trainees teaching each other. You will start teaching one person one pose. Then graduate to teaching small groups For the final teaching assessment, you will teach a small video. We will give you all the technical support you need to prepare your teaching assessment video. You will also recive lots of interactive tuition on how to sequence and structure your classes etc.
Is it ok to do teacher training just for self-development and to deepen my practice?
Yes it is. Lots of people have done this training as self development. Some have also started it for themselves and ended up teaching… Its completely up to you.
How is the course assessed?
Anatomy- There is 6 open book assessments for anatomy relative to the 6 major chaoters in your anatomy book : Standing postures, Hip openers, Core, Backbends, Twists and Inversions. You will receive an pre-recorded video on each chapter plus your assessment sheet. We will then go over the answers tot eh questions together in class. You will have to fill out your online assessment sheets in your own time. We anticipate this will take about 40 mins per sheet. You can take up to 2 weeks after the virtual course finishes to complete your papers if neessary.
Philosophy- this subject is not assessed, but there may be exercises for off time study.
Asana – We work towards level 3 posture work and all students practice to their own level, modifying when necessary. After graduation, teachers teach to the level they can practice comfortably. If a trainee’s personal practice needs a lot of work, on graduation, we sometimes recommend that these teachers teach level 1 only for a year or so as they continue to develop their practice.
Teaching Methodology- Students prepare an hour long class and teach the class using video. We start preparation for this exercise on day one so students will be very prepared. We want trainees to leave not only with a cert, but also with the ability to prepare a class and the knowledge that they can teach it confidently and clearly. Trainess will also recieve technial support for this assessment.
Is this training course registered or is this course qualified me to be a teacher?

What is the cost of membership and insurance with Yoga Alliance Professional (U.K)?
Will I have study time on the TTC?
Yes you will. You will have time to study in the evenings and on your days off. Students often like to group study to make it more interesting and fun and have the support of your group. You will also be give “non-contact hours” to practice adjustments etc.
