200 hr Yin Fusion Teacher Training

September 2026 - july 2027

Where Stillness Meets Flow: A Holistic Path to Teaching Yoga

Welcome to our 200-Hour Yin Fusion Yoga Teacher Training in Galway. This training is a comprehensive program that integrates the healing modalities of Yin and Restorative Yoga with the dynamic principles of Slow Flow. This training is designed to provide a solid foundation in asana practice while incorporating Ayurveda, Women’s Health, Pranayama, Energy Medicine, and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga to offer a holistic approach to yoga teaching and personal practice.

The training combines 100 hours of Yin and Restorative with 40 hours of Slow Flow to serve as the asana foundation of the training. This foundation will then be used to build other modules, such as Breath Coach, Yoga and Women’s Health (or Soma Yoga Therapy for men), Energy Medicine, and iHeal, Trauma Sensitive Yoga.

TRAINING MODULES

Studio Training & Attendance Requirements

This training will take place in Galway Ireland and is delivered fully in-studio. In accordance with Yoga Alliance standards, students may miss up to 20 contact hours and still be eligible to graduate, provided those hours are made up through approved assignments or one-to-one sessions.

Lead Trainer

Hi, my name is Carol Murphy and I am the founder of Green Lotus Yoga. I have been teaching yoga for over 28 years, and training teachers internationally since 2006, guiding more than 1,000 teachers across Ireland, Spain, Morocco, India, South Africa, the U.S., and the U.K.

My roots are in Iyengar and Ashtanga, later evolving into a creative, alignment-based vinyasa style that I continue to teach today. Alongside vinyasa, I specialise in therapeutic and restorative approaches, completing the 800hr IAYT Yoga Therapy certification with Soul of Yoga, and further training in Yin Yoga (with Josh Summers), TCM, Ayurveda, Somatics, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, and Women’s Health. I also bring my background as a Neuromuscular Therapist and FRC® Mobility Specialist to integrate fascial science and functional movement into my teaching.

I created the Yin Fusion training to weave together Yin, Restorative, Slow Flow, and Therapeutics — offering a practice that balances stillness with mindful movement, supporting both deep rest and functional wellbeing.
