Yin and Restorative Yoga Training
100hr Yin And Restorative CPD Training
Relax | Restore | Reset
November 2025 - February 2026
Immerse yourself in the art of stillness and deep healing with our comprehensive 100-hour Yin and Restorative Yoga Teacher Training. This program is designed for yoga teachers looking to deepen their knowledge and experience in these transformative styles.
Through the practice of Yin Yoga, you’ll explore long-held postures that target the body’s deeper connective tissues, promoting flexibility and energetic balance. In Restorative Yoga, you’ll discover how to guide your students into a state of profound relaxation and nervous system regulation, using props to create supportive postures that allow for deep physical and mental release.

Hybrid Training & Attendence Requirements
This training will take place in the Yogamoves studio in Gort, Galway, Ireland. We recommend that all students take the training in the studio, as learning the modifications, adjustments and props are easier to learn in a group. However qualified teachers can take this training over Zoom or via recordings. This allows you to choose the learning environment that best suits your needs and schedule, ensuring a comfortable and convenient learning experience.

Lead Trainer
Carol Murphy is the lead trainer of this training and the founder of Green Lotus Yoga. Carol first came across Restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra in her early Iyengar days, before she trained as an Iyengar teacher. Yoga Nidra enabled her to let go of deep-held mental tension that allowed her true self to gradually emerge from within. Carol continued her yoga, pranayama and meditation explorations in India over a number of years. Since then she studied Yin yoga with Sarah Powers and trained in Yin Yoga with Josh Summers. In addition, Carol studied Yoga Therapy with IAYT school Soul of Yoga, where she continued her studies in Subtle anatomy, yoga and mental health in addition to the therapeutic and somatic aspects of yoga.
On this training, Carol weaves together these teachings and feels ready and able to take you every step of the way to deepen your practice and prepare you to teach.
