The Kilkenny School of Yoga 200 Hour Teacher Training Programme follows the standards of Yoga Alliance UK’s Registered Yoga Teacher 200 Hour certification requirements. The course includes:
Restorative Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga combined promotes good health and vitality of mind, body and soul.
We start by using the breath. We combine our breath work with a soft gentle yoga or with a strong physical practice (vinyasa yoga) depending on your physical ability. To fully benefit from yoga we need to practice both.
Doing a class with restorative focus and understanding relaxation is essential in finding a place of stillness, calm and healing. We must challenge ourselves physically and ‘play the edge’ to find our physical limits. Then we must expand them to find a place of calm and observe the transition from physically challenging to complete surrender.
The challenge as a teacher is that everyone in class has different strengths and abilities so we must find a balance to keep everybody moving and reaching their own limits within the postures so that the mind stays focused before we all move together and go back to a state of relaxation.
Marrying Restorative Hatha yoga and Vinyasa yoga gives our practice a teaching depth that allows for transformation and growth.
A detailed look at the main yoga postures (asana) will be taught – safe variations for the less physically able will be included. Students will learn through guided yoga practices and will be given lots of teaching practice and hands on experience.
Our Anatomy & Physiology Module is taught by a Certified Physiotherapist who is also a Yoga Teacher. A sound understanding of the main body systems and organ functions will be offered as well as an in-depth study of the main muscles of movement and common ailments and injuries in relation to yoga.
This part of our course will be broken into easy to digest bite size pieces.
Supple Body Anatomy (with an emphasis on the Chackra System) will be covered during our retreat which takes place the very last weekend of training.
Meditation and Breathing (Pranayama) is an essential part of yoga and will be covered extensively on our course. The practices of Yoga Nidra and Chakra Meditation will be explored with lots of guided visualisation and handy tips on bringing this element into your own practice and your classes.
We will look at the birth of various forms of yoga and study the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad-Gita, and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.
Our module on the business of yoga is very comprehensive. We will help you with everything from understanding your unique teaching style and how to market that, to how to get work as substitute teacher, or even start your own business. The comprehensiveness of our business module is quit unique and we are truly excited to help you become the most successful version of yourself that you can be.
