Training in Ireland
with ālaya wellbeing.

Training in Ireland offers a way to study yoga that is both committed and livable. Set in Cork, this programme supports sustained learning without asking you to step away from your responsibilities. The pace is steady, the environment focused, and the emphasis is on integrating practice into real life rather than putting life on hold.

Guided by Yogacharya Lalit, whose decades of practice and teaching inform the depth of the training, ālaya wellbeing by Himalaya Yoga Valley brings over twenty years of teacher education into a European context. The same Himalayan lineage–rooted curriculum taught across the school’s global training is offered here, within a professional and well-supported setting. This path is suited to those seeking clarity, responsibility, and continuity, without needing to withdraw from everyday life.

A Word from the Teacher Holding the Training

Led by Yogacharya Lalit, ālaya wellbeing teaches yoga as a disciplined, relational practice grounded in lineage and care.

 Everything You Need to Learn, Live & Practice

This training unfolds as a lived process within your existing life. From the first days, practice begins to reorganise attention. Over time, movement, breath, philosophy, and teaching skills integrate steadily. Learning is paced to allow understanding to settle, rather than overwhelm.

Full 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training curriculum
Daily asana, pranayama & meditation
In-depth workshops and lectures
Supervised teaching practicums
Course manuals and study materials
Faculty guidance, feedback, and mentorship

Don't wait, enrol today!!
Enrolling with Himalaya Yoga Valley was one of the best decisions I ever made! The course is so well thought-out and tutors are knowledgeable, encouraging and inspirational. The curriculum covers so much but is broken down into manageable lessons, which makes the online course so accessible to a busy, working mum, like myself...
