The Irish Yoga Association
The IYA Teacher Training Course is a four year part-time course (over 600 hours) that
seeks to provide the opportunity to test the main philosophical premises, increasing awareness in all aspects of the individual so that Yoga can become a practical way of life rather than a practice to induce a state of mind that temporarily eases unwanted states of mind. It aims to provide participants with the knowledge, skill and attitude to teach Yoga. Course participants are encouraged to teach after 2 years whilst having the support of their peers and Tutors.  The Course is fully comprehensive in that it deals with the physical, emotional, mental, psychological and spiritual aspects of Yoga in recognition of Yoga as a tool for self development.  Participants work continuously with two full-time Tutors over the four years, together with visiting guest Tutors.  The Course includes Asana, Pranayama, Kriya, Mudra, Bandha, Meditation, Philosophy, Anatomy & Physiology, First Aid, Teaching Practice, Class Planning, Yoga for Children, Yoga in Pregnancy and Yoga in the field of Mental Health. The training explores classical and contemporary methods, in keeping with Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and the Hathayogapradipika.
The Course aims to produce Yoga teachers who embody the principles of  Yoga philosophy in their lives and in their teaching.
The Course is accredited by the European Union of Yoga, enabling diploma holders to teach throughout Europe.
Next course starts 14th September.

The IYA also offers a POST-GRAD COURSE comprising six weekends and a residential week.
This course focuses on enhancing and deepening personal practice as well as exploring various styles of teaching and delivery skills through experiential learning. This course is open to those who hold a valid Yoga Teaching Diploma (equivalent to a minimum of 200 hours training) and who meet the standard of assessment day and interview.
