Ard Nahoo Yoga School

Yoga Alliance 200hr certified teacher training

I am delighted to be running yoga teacher training courses at Ard Nahoo.   This is something that has been on the cards for the past few years and finally the time seems right.  Teacher Training is a big commitment on your part but the benefits are immense.  It is very much a giant step on the road to developing to your full potential both on and off the mat. Our current group of teacher training students are a joy to be with each month, and have already progressed so much.

We have two options for teacher training at Ard Nahoo - a one month intensive residential and a ten month part time course. Ard Nahoo is a registered yoga school with Yoga Alliance. On satisfactory completion of either course you will be fully qualified as an internationally recognised yoga teacher and eligable to register with Yoga Alliance as a RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) if you wish.

I am excited about sharing my love of the art of Yoga with you all.

Noeleen Tyrrell - Course Director

1 Month Intensive Training

Our intensive training will be running in September 2012. This is a residential event, which takes four weeks. At the end of the month you will be a fully qualified yoga teacher. In order to participate in this training, you will need to have a strong yoga practice and understanding of yoga. The course runs from Mondays to Fridays, with the weekends taken off, though accommodation is still included for Saturdays and Sundays. If you are interested in the intensive residential course, please contact us for more information.

Date: September 2012

Fee: €3,995

Includes: Accommodation for four weeks, all meals (expect on the weekends), tuition fees and course manual.

Ten Month Training Course

The course runs over ten months and will start in October 2012.  Training runs one weekend per month (two full days) with the exception of an intensive residential when we will work for  5 full days.  The residential will provide a valuable experience in totally immersing yourself in a yogic lifestyle and practice. The course is a Yoga Alliance Registered, 200 hr training. I will be the lead teacher and Director of the course but will invite guest teachers to share their knowledge with us about specific areas of interest.  

Date: October 2012

Fee:  €2,700.00

Non refundable Booking Deposit of  €500 required to secure place

Special student rate accommodation is available if needed.  €30 per night if staying for one night or €25 per night if staying for 2 nights or more (hostel style accomodation).  Course materials and books are extra (approx €100).

 Topics covered on both courses include… 

• Techniques Training/Practice
  Includes asanas, pranayamas, kriyas, chanting, mantra, meditation and other traditional yoga techniques. These hours will be a mix between: 1) analytical training in how to teach and practice the techniques and 2) guided practice of the techniques themselves.
• Teaching Methodology
  Includes principles of demonstration, observation, assisting and correcting, instruction, teaching styles, qualities of a teacher, the student's process of learning and business aspects of teaching yoga.  
• Anatomy and Physiology
  Includes both human physical anatomy and physiology (bodily systems, organs, etc.) and energy anatomy and physiology (chakras, nadis, etc.). Includes both the study of the subject and application of its principles to yoga practice (benefits, contraindications, healthy movement patterns, etc).
• Yoga Philosophy, Lifestyle and Ethics for Yoga Teachers
  Includes the study of yoga philosophies, yoga lifestyle and ethics for yoga teachers.
• Practicum
  Includes practice teaching, receiving feedback, observing others teaching and hearing and giving feedback. Also includes assisting students while someone else is teaching.

 

There will be homework, study, reading and project work.  This will account for approximately 50 further non-contact (out of class) hours.

Pre-requisites:- Students will need to have some working knowledge of yoga.  Ideally you will have attended weekly yoga classes for at least a year.  That said, each application will be treated on an individual basis as home practice and all previous experience of yoga will be considered.  

Classes will start at 9am and finish at 6pm with an hour for lunch.  Timetable for residential retreat will be decided nearer the time.

 

To book your place on the Teacher Training, please contact us for an application form and we will begin your registration.  Looking forward to seeing you at Ard Nahoo
