A rigorous, values-led programme rooted in traditional philosophy, anatomy and methodology. The next intake opens in 2027 — register your interest now to be first in line.
Orla brings over 600 hours of certified training and more than a decade of teaching experience to this programme — spanning Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa, Restorative and Pregnancy Yoga alongside breathwork facilitation, advanced meditation and study with the Eckhart Tolle School of Awakening. The programme draws on that full breadth. It is rooted in traditional yoga philosophy, grounded in anatomy and methodology, and shaped by a belief that great teachers develop through genuine understanding, not just technique.
This training is for practitioners who are ready to teach — people who have built a personal practice and feel called to bring it to others. You do not need a prior 200-hour qualification. You do need commitment, curiosity and a willingness to go deep. What you will leave with is the knowledge, the practical skills and the confidence to hold space for a room of students — and to mean every word.
Accreditation details are being finalised and will be confirmed before the programme opens for applications. If recognition by a specific body matters to you, note it in your interest registration and Orla will follow up directly when full details are available.
Spaces will be limited. Those on the interest list will be contacted first when applications open and will have access to any early-bird pricing.
The Awakened Heart Programme is a natural step before teacher training — four Sunday mornings of meditation, presence and philosophy that give you the grounding to know if teaching is your path.
