Are you passionate about yoga and interested in taking your practice to the next level? Are you looking for a comprehensive and immersive teacher training program that will provide you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to share your love of yoga with others? If so, our 200 Hour Anusara Yoga Teacher Training is perfect for you.

Join me on the next 200-Hour YTT  course starting in October for a journey of learning, growth and inner and outer transformation.

At Noeleen Tyrrell Yoga, we believe that yoga is not just a physical practice, but a way of life. Our teacher training program is designed to help you deepen your understanding of yoga philosophy, anatomy, alignment, and sequencing and much more, while also providing you with the tools and techniques you need to become an effective and inspiring yoga teacher.

Our 200 Hour Anusara Yoga Teacher Training is led by Noeleen Tyrrell, an experienced and passionate yoga teacher who has been practicing and teaching for over 30 years. With a strong focus on inner and outer alignment, safety, and creativity, Noeleen will guide you through a transformative journey of self-discovery and growth, as you develop your own unique teaching style and voice.

This is a place to nurture and cultivate resilience, strength, empathy, joy, love, connection and compassion – all qualities that we need in our lives and in our community right now. If you want to deepen your practice and understanding of all things to do with the practice of yoga including but beyond simply moving in asana, then this course is for you. Past student teachers say that this is a life changing course that is challenging in the best way possible. Over this nine month period the yoga process  works its magic to transform our experience and  to reveal the endless well of joy within.

During the training, you’ll learn the core principles of Anusara yoga, including the Universal Principles of Alignment, which provide a foundation for safe and effective practice. You’ll also explore yoga philosophy, anatomy, sequencing, and teaching methodology, as well as receive guidance on how to build a successful and sustainable yoga teaching career.

‘I have been teaching yoga for over two decades and am at my best (and happiest) sitting in the seat of the teacher surrounded by students who are fully present and open to the magic of the wisdom teachings and practices. Yoga has the power to transform lives especially when we have the courage to go deep into the study and practice with intention. This training is full on and requires a big commitment from me as your teacher and from you as the student’ – Noeleen

In Sanskrit, the sacred language of yoga, we call this studentship Adhikara. One of the qualities of Adhikara includes having Beginners Mind – being open minded and receptive to new things and having the courage to give those new things a chance. When we have this open and expansive mind then anything is possible!

So, you are invited to come as you are with a big wide open mind and brave heart.

“Thank you for creating such a safe and loving space for us to grow and learn together. You have been such an empowering & inspiring teacher“ Claire, class of 2023

Programme Content

The Anusara 200 Hour Part-Time programme is made up of two distinct 100-hour parts, each with its own distinct curriculum.
The first 100 hours are called The Anusara Immersion and the second 100, the Anusara Teacher Training. Together they make up the 200 HR Teacher Training.

Both parts are superbly designed to bring the student on an empowering journey of self-enquiry and a deepening of personal practice. Immersion is all about you, your practice and understanding and yoga education. The second half of the Teacher Training is about you learning skills and techniques to share what you have learned, in a clear, inspiring, safe and ethical way. In other words you will learn to ‘teach what you know’, and from this most empowering starting point you be ready to go out into your community and teach with confidence.

In this programme, we will complete the Immersion and move directly to Teacher Training. The 100 Hour Immersion can be taken as a deep study of yoga in its own right.

Pre-Requisites

• Applicants for the 200-hour programme must have a practice and understanding of yoga from attending weekly classes and/or having a home practice. It is difficult to say in terms of ‘years of practice’ how many are required as everybody starts at a different point and learns at a different rate. Usually 2 years practice is a good benchmark but I will assess your suitability when we meet on Zoom or at one of our Open Days.
• For those who have no prior experience with Anusara Yoga, you must before beginning the course complete a 6 Week Beginners Anusara Yoga Course online. The course can be taken in your own time and is sent to all successful applicants free of charge upon registration.
