Miriam - Lead trainer
A note from your lead trainer
Chances are, if you're reading this, you've experienced the deeply soothing benefits of a good Yin Yoga Session.
And if you haven't yet, you can enjoy a complimentary online session here on this link.
Yin can be described in so many ways. It's extremely challenging to sum it all up in one short description. However, when doing this I like to refer to the concept of 'Soma'.
Soma is described in some texts as 'the nectar of the moon.' Passages describe a nectar of immortality, pure love and bliss. By bathing in the light of the full moon and meditating, it is believed that we can invite the nectar of the moon within and cultivate Soma. It is said to strengthen our immune system, clear our mind and inject us with new vitality.
This beautiful concept also sums up Yin Yoga. A practise where we slow everything down. Where we journey very deep within.
A ritual where we explore our inner landscape whilst all the while strengthening our awareness and observation of the natural world around us. Our cycles. Nature's cycles. Seasons. And how all of this is ultimately interconnected.
We are living in a chaotic yang driven modern society which stretches us in multiple directions. Modern life depletes us of the energy we need to truly relish in the simple pleasures of life. Everyone is completely burned out.
It is my belief that we have two options.
1. Point the finger and continue on contributing to this unsustainable collective and personal cycle.
Or
2. Understand that we have a choice. We can take on a personal responsibility to stop, to slow down, to recharge, and to reintroduce that spaciousness we ultimately need to begin to feel vibrant and energetic again.
Yin has all of the tools we need to do this. Yin has so many of the answers. And it's a practise that's accessible to everyone regardless of strength, flexibility, 'level', understanding, background etc.
Over the past few years I have been cultivating this offering for The BeWell Community. I've personally come from a personal space and background of working in absolute chaos and vital energy depletion. Using Yin Yoga, I pulled the handbrake and re-organised my entire life and daily habits.
I firmly believe that BeWell is not just another yoga school. Anyone who has studied with us knows we are all on a collective mission. That mission is to share simple tools, accessible for everyone, rooted in ancient yogic history to bring everyone back to their unique magic & balance. Life can be fascinating. A simple breath observed in all of it's intricate detail can create wonder...
If you are someone who is seeking to reintroduce balance and replenish your energy and zest for life once again, this course will serve you well. If you are someone who believes in our mission and wishes to share simple tools and practises with your community, this course will show you how to do just that.
I cannot wait to see you on the mat to explore the incredible, life-changing world of Yin Yoga together.

Anyone following the BeWell journey over the last number of years will know it's been a long time coming... And anyone familiar with Yin will know that Yin Yoga is not a process that can be 'sped up' and quickly delivered. It's necessary to go deep. To sit with it. To let settle. And out of that it will slowly and surely arrive and be 'born'.
And here it is...

The brain and body systems that process emotions are intimately connected with the hormonal apparatus, the nervous system, and in particular the immune system.' Dr. Gabor Maté
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This is a course that is suitable for everyone. Students of yoga, teachers of yoga, wannabe teachers of yoga or those new to yoga. It's a course that fits all levels and everyone will take away any learnings regardless of where you are in your yoga journey.
If you’ve been saying to yourself:
❌ I would love to start a regular yoga practise to relax my body, mind and soul!
❌ I am burned out and I want to do something about it...
❌ I see that the world is chaotic, unsustainable and is crisis. I want to do something to change that.
❌ I don’t know where to start with an at home self practise...
❌. I have fallen out of a regular yoga practise
❌ I don’t have the time to do a 200 hours yoga teacher training but would love a short course I could potentially teach yoga after
❌ I’m not sure I’m good enough to be a teacher
Then you’re not alone. Many of our students feel this way when they start out. We’ve been there too! And that’s why we’ve created a course that provides you with all the tools you need to develop your own self practise and eventually teach yin yoga to your wider community.
Our online or in person training is for everybody and literally any body with:
✅ A passion for sharing yoga and wellness
✅ A willingness to try something new
✅ A curiosity to take their practice deeper
✅ Access to a laptop, phone or any other type of electronic device that connects to the internet (if you are attending the online version)
🎧 Walk & Listen
We understand digital fatigue is a real issue. We also understand the importance of spending time in nature and getting fresh air. That's why we give you the option of reading your texts or instead listening to Podcasts for a large segments of your theory-work. Why not get your steps and some fresh air in as you progress through the course? Remember, you saw it here first 🌱
🌸 Ongoing Access
Enjoy ongoing access to the recorded sessions and materials even when the course has finished. So, when you finish the course you can go back and really relish in the sessions anytime!
🌸 One to One Unique & Individual Video Review (Alignment)
You can be guaranteed you will leave the course with a clear overview of your teaching practise. You will be required to create a video submission of your practise teaching. We video review this and send your feedback on your teaching. We also offer you the option to sit with you one to one via video or in person to discuss all of the details. (Note that one to one sessions is a additional service with additional fees) This service proved super popular with our online yoga teacher trainees last year.
🌸 One to One Unique & Individual Video Review (Teaching Practise)
You may not be interested in the teaching aspect...but if you are keep reading
We have a sliding scale of what we look at in terms of your teaching practise development. Some people will need support with confidence. Others will need support with how they energetically deliver their teaching.
Either way we review your unique style of teaching and discuss where you are and what unique and individual goalposts you can work towards to reach your potential.
🌸 One to One Unique Discussion & Review (Meditation)
We firmly believe that teaching practise is not just about practising delivering a yoga session but is instead highly informed by your meditation and self/home practise habits.
Whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, we you will enjoy themed meditation session throughout the course and be expected to keep a diary. We do not apply 'blanket instructions' regarding meditation to the group. Instead, we give you unique goalposts as per where you are. As a result, all of our Yoga Teacher Trainees experience a deepening in their meditation experience.
🌸 Graduate Community
Your journey as a Yoga Teacher does not end after your course. Upon graduation enjoy access to the BeWell Yoga Inner Circle (Graduate Group) where we enjoy ongoing periodic training workshops, camaraderie and explore monthly online ceremony together.

Now, more than ever, we need skilled wellness facilitators, passionate community carers and inspirational local leaders to blaze the trail toward collective mental and physical balance, awareness and truth.
Are you feeling called ?
As a time of heightened collective consciousness draws in, we're creating a community and learning space for teachers who believe in consciousness, community and circularity.
Our mission is to share simple tools, accessible for everyone, rooted in ancient yogic history to bring everyone back to their unique magic & balance.
Is that a mission you want to be part of? If so, we're ready to meet you where you're at. New to yoga or old hand. Ready to become a teacher or still on the fence. We welcome you to be a part of our community.
The BeWell Yoga Teacher Training programme was a wonderful experience and one which I would recommend to any other students thinking of completing their 200hrs qualification. Miriam, the lead trainer, was fantastic both in her knowledge of yoga and the delivery of the course. I came away not only with a much deeper knowledge of all aspects of yoga but also a new approach, one that is gentler and kinder as to how we approach the teaching of yoga. It was very inclusive to all levels and that is something I strive to emulate in my teaching.

READY FOR A NEW KIND OF CHALLENGE?
time to look inward
In an ever changing world, where we can no longer freely explore outwardly, we have the unique opportunity to discover a whole other world within.
Our inner world, an undiscovered terrain, can be explored and adventured by means of simple methods from the comfort and safety of our home.
Meditation, Yoga and Pranayama (breathing exercises) act as keys that unlock the layers and allow us to adventure into the hidden depths of our mind, body and soul.
Funnily enough, it is the deep exploration, understanding, shedding and rebuilding of our inner world that allows us to truly relish in the most simple details of the outside world.
Come with us on a journey, a journey deep into your mind, body and soul. Together we will explore your unique inner world through meditation, pranayama, yoga and theory sessions, group discussions and workshops. You will emerge from this journey with the knowledge, skills and passion to take your Yoga Journey to the next level.
All from the comfort and safety of your home..should you so wish.
COURSE INSTRUCTORS
Bringing their expertise and insight to the course, our experienced team of teachers will be offering you continuous guidance and support throughout the course, ensuring that you get just as much out of our online training as you would a in-person YTT.

Click!
We are very excited to be joined on our YTT by Joseph Devlin, a neuromuscular therapist, with 10+ years
experience in private practice. Joseph is an experienced online educator and a skilled practitioner who offers great insight into the anatomy section of our course.
During a sabbatical in India, Joseph's interest in yoga - especially Yin - grew. Now he facilitates myofascial release workshops and trains yoga teachers in anatomy. Joseph has an interest in traditional medicine, men’s work and the power of group circles. Topics will range from the fight /flight nervous systems reaction to pain, gate theory and pathophysiology to the advice he has had from the yoga teachers and healers he has worked with.
Joseph calls upon his years of experience to assess posture and movement, educate his clients on specifically what would be of great benefit for them to focus on outside of their sessions. And then working with pressure points, that are holding their over worked muscles into negative patterns of movement.
He utilizes simple tools such as foam rollers and tennis balls to empower his workshop attendees to be able to do their own soft tissue release techniques and achieve a positive change in their movement.
I had the pleasure of completing my 200 hours yoga teacher training with Miriam in 2020. An experience that nourished me both body and soul. Miriam is a gifted teacher and mentor. I jumped at the opportunity to experience this again with her yin teacher training course. She is a true professional that has the unique ability to create a amazing space so that you learn and experience yin yoga through a beautifully crafted circle , together with like minded individuals under her beautiful wisdom and guidance. Her delivery of the course content is both inviting and creative. I can't recommend Miriam enough. An amazing experience.

__________
Teaching Qualification
Can I teach after this course?
Yes...
This is a 50xHours Yin Yoga Teacher Training.
It will equip you with the tools to create sequences and lead Yin Yoga classes as a facilitator.
You could say you would be a qualified Yin Yoga Teacher afterwards.
Some schools will convince you that it's more than enough. And technically and legally they are right.
However....
However, the issue is, a 50xhours course doesn't tend to go deeply into anatomical studies or energetic studies.
There's a lot of information necessary to know before
-
we can be confident to answer all of the common questions clients may have (questions based in anatomy and yogic philosophy)
-
we can be confident to understand the client's needs for physiological safety long term
-
we can be confident to understand the client's needs energetically
Only with all of the above can we ensure what we are teaching is bringing the client into balance rather than throwing them even more off balance or creating a risk for their physical health long term.
The point is, anyone can learn off and deliver a set sequence.
The difference between parroting off a set sequence is where a teacher understands who is in the class and does everything possible to ensure the sequence is designed for the energetic and physical needs of those people.
That's a big ask for a 50xHours course...
200Hours Yoga Teacher Training v 50xHours Teacher Training
We run a 200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training Program. These programs would be what's considered the foundational yoga teacher training program.
They are arguably the best foundation in preparing yourself to go out and teach publically as a Yoga Teacher.
I have had many people over the years come to me having completed only 50xHours Yin Yoga Teacher Training course / 50hours Kids Yoga Teacher Training / 80 hours Prenatal Yoga Training who were out there teaching but all had a feeling that they did not have fully rounded tools based in anatomy and physiology. That's why they were enquiring about our 200 Hours Course.
Transferrable Skills
Of course it depends on transferable skills also. You are a teacher already. So we don't need to worry about little to no experience in public speaking, classroom management, voice projection, confidence etc
The issue might aises where you have clients presenting to your class with physiological issues - perhaps sent by GPs or physios. If you have no foundation in anatomical/physiological studies, it's important not to set yourself out as someone who does.
The legal and technical bits...
Legally there are no specific qualifications that are necessary to call yourself a Yoga teacher in Ireland at the moment. That will undoubtedly change in the future and become regulated - thankfully. Technically, without any training you could get insured and start teaching a yoga class at your local hall tomorrow!
Ethically I would suggest to anyone serious about Yoga Teaching publically to consider a 200 hours Yoga Teacher Training.
The 50xHours Yin Yoga Teacher Training is a fabulous stepping stone to see if you have the time and energy to take on a 200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training.
Self Practice - teaching from a place of experience rather than theoretically
The 50xHours delivered with 12xMonths journalling and follow up exercises is also a way of curating a deep introspective self practice and understanding of Yoga. This is imperative for yoga teaching. Anyone can parrot off words, scripts and sequences with a bit of practice. But to really teach from a place of deep understanding, one has to spend time exploring and studying by means of their own practice - over a period of time.
It's also a great course for people interested in the eastern philosophical and energetical style of teaching rather than physiological and science based (our 200 Hours is very science based, western, physiological style)
Technically and legally, after the 50xHours , yes you can go out there and teach a set series of Yin Yoga classes to the public.
And many do...
If you feel ready personally with your transferable skills I would say go for it!
As any BeWell graduate is inevitably a representative of our school, I would strongly advise any of the BeWell graduates to complete more studies in Yoga or physiology and anatomy prior to taking on such a big responsibility. I always ask this question - if you were starting yoga for the first time, would you feel comfortable placing your body and mind into the hands of someone with no anatomical or physiological background who had only completed a 50xHours course?
Note that this is just the BeWell feedback and opinion - there are many others out there with opposing views.
It's important to consider all sides and draw your own conclusion.
what past students of our yoga teacher training course have to say...
I took the year long Yin course with Miriam for personal growth but I couldn't have predicted what a life shift and mindset change would occur as a result of engaging with it. Miriam was an excellent teacher, course facilitator and leader throughout the course, constantly challenging and pushing us to look inwards and to expand our knowledge. Her encouragement towards intuitive learning, passion for Yin and for self care, shone through in everything she did. The actual Yin sessions were a dream, from the music she chooses, to the lighting and scents she uses only serve to add to the indulgent experience she offers her clients and students. I would recommend this course to anyone. Thanks Miriam.

( Student of Yin Yoga Teacher Training intake year long 2022 course, Ireland - April 2023)
I really enjoyed the 50 hour Yin YTT, I found it really interesting integrating the training over the year and learning about the different seasons as we approached them during the year.
I found that I had a lot of time for self reflection and the training really helped me to slow down and evaluate what was going on. I found that I came at things from a different perspective and learning about the seasons and meridians and their effects on us helped me to feel more grounded and connected.
Miriam is an amazing teacher who takes time to ensure that everybody takes something from her classes and courses, she is always available to answer any questions or to provide insight, feedback and support.
I can't recommend this training highly enough - for anyone considering doing it please do - I promise you will be so grateful that you did.
( Student of Yin Yoga Teacher Training intake year long 2022 course, Ireland - April 2023)
This was my second Yoga Teacher Training through BeWell (having completed my 200hrs YTT through BeWell previously) and it did not disappoint!! The training is delivered in a way that works for each participant allowing time to soak in the beautiful depths of Yin. Miriam cultivates community for those that seek it and also supports everyone on their own personal journey. Highly recommend Miriam & BeWell Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course.

Becoming a yoga teacher is a life changing experience. For me, going through this process with BeWell
was much more than a training – it was a journey. I’ve learned so much about myself, about everything
yoga and nonetheless about “walking the talk”, taking yoga off the mat and into daily life, where the
transformation is happening.
During the training I always felt that is not about information, but about transformation. As a BeWell
200 RYT graduate, I confess that yes, I feel ready to teach yoga and support my students in their journey,
both on and off the mat.
The course curricula was full of valuable knowledge – from history of yoga to anatomy, sequencing, how
to build and manage a yoga business, mindset and essential skills for a new teacher. I couldn’t ask for
more from my YTT and I am deeply grateful to be part of the BeWell community.
Thank you Miriam, Giulia, Joseph, Polly, Tahni, Natalie, Maeve and everyone else involved!
Namaste

Fantastic course which really opened my eyes up to the depth of yoga! I opted for the self paced route which worked really well alongside my other commitments. Miriam was always on hand to answer any questions via email and in the one to one sessions. She was really understanding of any difficulties that arose due to the pandemic so certainly don't let this put you off.

I have been practicing Yoga regularly for nearly two years – and enrolled on this course to improve my knowledge and skills relating to Yoga. The online format allowed me to complete this training at a time in which most things are not possible. Initially when I signed up I worried that I would miss out on some of the personal elements of a face to face course. However that was not the case – the daily schedule provided a clear plan for what each day would be like. It also forced me to make time in my week for this course. This meant that rather than a self-paced course I moved through in a structured way working collaboratively with others on the course. In addition there were frequent 1 to 1 sessions with Miriam who provided personalised feedback on both my teaching and technique. Over the four weeks of the course there have been huge improvements in my technique due to the feedback received. Thank you for all your help and support

A fantastic instructor, the resources were thoughtful and well prepared and gave both a clear overview and a good specific detail. The 1 to 1 feedback on both technique and teaching allowed me to make rapid progress. I would highly recommend BeWell!

BeWell's online training course is enjoyable, engaging and full to the brim with information to satisfy the curiosity of budding yoga teachers. Miriam's in-depth knowledge and attention to detail really comes through in the live sessions and course materials. You will leave this course with an excellent foundation in every aspect of yoga, as well as a range of materials to refer to whenever you need them in the future. Miriam has done her utmost to replicate the in-person experience with daily live sessions, 1-to-1s and individualised feedback on teaching practice and alignment. This is a rare and valuable opportunity to train from the comfort of your own home, with an incredible teacher. Miriam is kind, patient and present for all of your questions - I couldn't have asked for a better tutor! If you are considering this course, I highly recommend it! Thank you to Miriam and to BeWell for an amazing yoga journey.

Thank you so much for everything! I enjoyed the class as much as it was intense and challenging,
but I really learned a lot and feel like I have improved myself on many levels! Your personality also made it very easy and I appreciate your efforts!
(Online 200 Hours YTT Graduate - Germany, May 2020)
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for an amazing YTT. I've loved it. So happy to have done it with BeWell. Your passion, your whole ethos and your honesty have made it really special and really practically useful.. to achieve that online is impressive! & thanks for all your kind + helpful feedback and encouragement, massively appreciated. Also actually thank you for encouraging me to do this in the first place - by giving me a really helpful practical answer to how 'good' I needed to be. No bullshit about whether I thought I was ready just a video to practice along with - super helpful! Without that I might not have done it & the last 4 weeks could have been a massive waste and a bit grim on furlough on lockdown. Instead it's honestly been one of the best things I've done, feel very lucky.

"I really loved my time on the YTT. The content of the course was enormously engaging, and I learnt a lot about everything from the history of yoga to meditation and pranayama. Most of all, I met a wonderful group of people that will continue to inform how I think about yoga, long after the course finishes."
