Where: Cork Lotus Yoga, Carey’s Lane, Cork City

This is not your average 200Hr YTT. This will focus on making you a Yogi first and a Teacher Second. Incorporating ancient teachings into the modern world.

This is an Immersion. A journey of discovery. We will explore, we will get into the nitty gritty, we will dance and laugh, we will celebrate, we will cry, we will hold each other, and we will re-learn, we will connect with ourselves, each other and our purpose.

One of Ireland’s leading Yoga Teacher trainings is now available, for the first time, spread out over 8 weekends over 8 months. This allows those who learn and digest at their own pace to integrate the teachings and experiences week by week.  

Set in a dedicated Yoga Studio Loft space, attendees can immerse themselves in the ancient yogic teachings with Senior Yoga Teacher Jeanie Jyanti over the course of 8 weekends. The teacher training experience will be built around the four pillars of Alchemy School of Yoga – Yoga, Education, Nourishment & Community, and attendees can learn to grow and flourish as teachers in this welcoming space with Jeanie’s unique approach to yoga and teaching.

Expect plenty of laughter, peace, learning, connecting and more.
