200 Hour RYT Program

I met Mary Irby in 2009. She was the lead trainer for a yoga workshop. Right away her authentic and humble demeanor put me at ease and helped me feel like this was a true yoga experience with no competition among a diverse group of yoga trainees.  Don't let her approachable and easy-going personality fool you though. Mary is a Certified Yoga Therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT)) and an E-RYT 500. She is also a Certified Thai Practitioner (CTP).She has trained in India and has almost 40 years of experience (which is amazing because she is so young). In addition, Mary earned a Master's degree in Education and a Bachelor's degree with an emphasis in Health, Physical Education and Recreation.

 

When I found out Mary was available to provide a 200 RYT program in my area, I signed up immediately. During my 200 hour RYT program, Mary taught a wide variety of students such as those with experience practicing yoga but no experience teaching it as well as those who had obtained a weekend certification but had very little background in the history,  theory and/or practice and teaching of yoga. Many of us understand that an experienced practitioner, an experienced teacher, a certified teacher (and any combination of those) may differ quite a bit in ability to effectively teach others. If any of these scenarios apply to you and you are wondering if you will obtain any benefit from White Crow's 200 hour program, rest assured that Mary will meet you where you are. She will provide you with the pieces you need to help add to your resources, develop your understanding, and improve your teaching skills all while working hard and having a great time!

300 Hour RYT Program
Mary Irby's 300 hour RYT program was just what I needed. I was looking for reputable resources to deepen my knowledge of yoga history, improve my understanding of the importance of anatomy to various asanas and develop my ability to incorporate that into my teaching in a way that my students can benefit. With over 25 years of experience as a certified aerobics instructor, nearly 15 as a personal trainer, and 10 as a yoga instructor, I was challenged, encouraged, motivated and equipped to continue to improve my assistance to both my personal training clients and my yoga students.
