Carol Murphy

Hello! I’m Carol Murphy, founder and lead trainer at Green Lotus Yoga, where I’ve been teaching yoga and training yoga teachers since 2006, in Ireland, Spain, Morocco, India, South Africa, the U.S and the U.K. With over 1,000 graduates from Ireland and beyond, my approach blends decades of experience in Vinyasa, anatomy, and yoga therapy with a passion for embodied, healing-based practice.

Originally trained in Iyengar and Ashtanga, I’ve always loved alignment-based Vinyasa. But over time, my focus expanded to include the restorative and therapeutic dimensions of yoga. This inspired the creation of Yin Fusion. My studies include Neuromuscular Therapy, Functional Mobility (FRC®), and most recently, an 800-hour IAYT Yoga Therapy Certification with Soul of Yoga, deepening my understanding of trauma, Ayurveda, somatics, mental health, and subtle anatomy. I’ve also studied Yin Yoga with Josh Summers, TCM and Women’s Health with Yoga Medicine, and energy-based practices such as Tantra and Kundalini Trance Dance.
