The YTTC system of training is designed to develp well rounded practitioners and yoga teachers in all aspects of yoga. To do this we teach a unified practice that integerates all the different aspects of yoga together.

 

The word yoga means to unite or to join, it harmonises and integrates all levels of our multi-dimensional being, to enable us to realise our deepest potential and wholeness; health in the deepest sense of the word. Yoga is the oldest system of self-development in the world and is the birthright of each and every one of us.

 

The Yoga Therapy & Training Centre (YTTC) was established in 1996 to meet the increasing demand for professional yoga training, and is now Ireland?s largest yoga organisation offering all levels of training in a user friendly and professional manner. In the short time since its establishment, demand for training courses has increased and are now available in many major cities throughout Ireland.

 

The YTTC is a Yoga Alliance Registered School and a member of both the International Yoga Federation and the British Council for Yoga Therapy. The Level Two Diploma Course ?dovetails? into the ending of the Level One Course and expands topics already introduced. It is for already qualified teachers who want to further explore the ancient art of yoga and in particular asana, pranayama, yoga nidra, meditation, philosophy mudra and bandhas

 

To develop a well rounded practitioner and yoga teacher

To integrate the different aspects of yoga into one clear practice

To develop the teaching skills and communications skills of an advanced yoga teacher

To deepen the understanding of the principal paths of yoga

To develop a sense of creativity, mindfulness and exploration of yoga

To deepen the understanding of the chakra system, bandhas and mudras

To develop an understanding of a variety of yogic meditations

To deepen the knowledge of subtle anatomy

While there is no body or governing body to seek accrediation in Ireland or Internationally, the course follows the most contemporary methods and practice, while keeping close to the classical structures set down in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Backed by a dedicated team of YTTC tutors who have many years experience in practice and training.

 

The course comprises 142 hours, 72 of which are Tutor Contact hours; Home Assignments cover the remaining 70 hours. The course duration is 12 days over 12 months or 10 intensive.

A Level Two Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Diploma is awarded on successful completion of the course.

 

Finally, we want you to enjoy the Course, and the YTTC prides itself in providing a relaxed and supportive environment. Our tutors are all approachable and available at all times to give advice and support. It is hoped that you will make many new friends on the course. Feedback from former students tells us that even if you choose not to teach, the course is a valuable and life-changing experience.

 

The Level Two Course is not assessment-orientated. While it will provide a valuable contribution to on-going training, it is ultimately for the student?s self-development and career development.

Roy Griffin

Through vision and understanding he and his team have developed a series of progressive training programs that express the teachings of the Eight Limbs of Yoga.

 

As a young boy yoga came naturally to him, where he developed a strong practice in pranayama and meditation. He began his formal training in 1992 and went on to spend time in Sivananda Vedenta International Ashrams in Canada and the Bahamas were he successfully completed his teacher training. He founded the Irish School of Yoga in 2000 and in 2007 he became the director of the YTTC.

 

Roy‟s teaching style follows the classical principles of Hatha Yoga, combing asana, pranayama, meditation & yoga nidra with safety and awareness. Each posture tells a story and along the way the student finds their natural state of integrity through proper alignment, right thinking and natural breathing. Roy take‟s his commitment to yoga very seriously but his innate sense of humour is his constant companion.
