100hr Yin And Restorative CPD Training

Relax | Restore | Reset

November 2024-Feb 2025

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
