Yoga Teacher Training Tools – Resources. One of the most important
resources in this booklet is the Reading List (please note that the first five
books are mandatory).These books are your yoga foundation. Please bring
them every day to training. A comprehensive list is included here so everyone
can benefit from this insight.
We also include a 200hr Foundation Self Study list. It is always good to
make a head start on reading if possible ahead of the courses beginning but
we do not want our student teachers to sweat over this. We will cover
insights from the reference books together. Some of you will find this side
of the work easy, others will not.
We encourage everyone to read these books if you have an interest in
widening and deepening your own yogic understanding of yourself. The world
is full of yoga books and online programs, and we know how hard it is to
differentiate. So, we have picked out some beauties for you to look over,
especially if you enjoy that side of training.
We also include a basic outline of the Curriculum / Syllabus of Training
Moduleshere for your convenience for Foundation Study at 200hr. An
extended version is designed to be covered again at Diploma level then over
a 4-year period leading to YAP Experienced level then Senior
qualifications after 8 years.

Testimonial’s
Read what some Trainee Teachers have had to say about GGYC
"... It changed my life... "
"..Sri Radha Sharon has made the course so personal and yet is never pushy
or invasive - she is a true yogi! Radha gently guides you through
the course helping you find strength and grace in your yoga both
on and off the mat. The year has helped me considerably
deepen my practice and given me a well- rounded knowledge
of all of the yoga realms. Itreally has been such a gift to have
been on this learning journey with Sri Radha and my fellow
yogis. I have been truly inspired by Sri Radha and will sincerely miss
our treasuredyoga weekends”
Sarah Kate McHugh
"Taking part in the teacher training course at Golden Glow
was a great decision….Sri Radha Sharon's knowledge and expertise
are second to none, and her empathy and wisdom create a warm and
secure space for learning. The course has been of huge benefit to
my personal practice and indeed has positively impacted on all aspects
of my life. The classes are friendly, supportive, and fun. I would tell anyone
considering joining the college to grab the opportunity with both hands".

Vice Principal St Angela’s College Cork
30 | P a g e“Thank you for my wonderful experience in your yoga teacher training class, I have learned a lot from you, on and off the mat, and you have helped me create a good foundation… Dr Sri Radha Sharon O’Neill, BCL, …is a beautiful, influential lady and a wonderful teacher of yoga. She is gifted with her yoga skills, her teaching methodology and her personal development teaching. She often quoted “Take what you want and leave the rest”. This was my comfort zone, knowing that I only need to concentrate on what particularly interested me… to have an awareness of all elements of Yoga.” Geraldine O’Donovan Galway 2020 "I started practicing when i was 8 years old and wanted to learn everything I could, so I was put on the advanced programs. I practice just about every day, and it’s been a huge influence for me. Everyone loves the energy and focus of the weekends. It’s a way of life." William Magnier 2016 " It is said that the teacher appears when the student is ready. This was indeed the case with me when I found Sri Radha Sharon and Golden Glow Yoga College. In 2013/2014, I studied the 200 hours Yoga Teacher Training Course at Golden Glow Yoga College with Sri Radha. She is a wonderful, insightful, and warm teacher whose authentic practice is hugely inspiring and who teaches from the heart, while her knowledge of yoga history, philosophy and sutra is vast and deep. It was a privilege to study under Sri Radha and also to meet all the other students on the course." Fintan Mackey 2014 "I cannot speak highly enough about my experience studying with GGYC. I completed my 200 hours training and it has truly put me on a better path in life. There was so much information and resources made available to me and it allowed me to learn with ease. My own practice progressed immensely throughout the course. The transition to online learning was handled remarkably and while the world felt scary the training was like a beautiful escape. Sri Radha managed to maintain the groups connection even though all our contact was now online. Sri Rada's individual care and support is awe inspiring. I felt incredibly safe and supported through the course. It has helped me to build confidence and most importantly to live a more content and appreciative life. I loved this course so much that I have now started my 300-hour training with Golden Glow, and this is proving to be equally as magnificent as 200 hours was. If you are thinking of becoming a teacher or even just want to deepen your own practice then this is definitely the course to choose. The experience considerably surpassed any expectations I had prior to commencing." Oonagh McFall 200- & 300-Hour Teacher Galway 31 | P a g e
