Integrative Womb Hara
Practitioner Training
Ireland, September, 2026 Information
The training is located at
The Yoga Barn
in Kilkenny, Ireland
The training takes place at The Yoga Barn in Kilkenny, Ireland – a region rich in medieval charm and a thriving arts scene. Close by is Inistioge, known as one of the prettiest villages in Ireland, set within the beauty of the Nore Valley. It’s just a ninety minute drive from Dublin. The full training is taught during this five-day in-person immersion. There are no prerequisites or prior experience required. We also don’t request any refresher courses, so once you complete the training along with your case studies, you will be fully qualified and certified to practice. Case studies can be completed in 3 weeks but you do have 12 months to complete them.
Our practitioner training is fully certified and recognised worldwide with IICT (International Institute Of Complementary Therapists). This will enable you to receive global insurance coverage.
The training is priced at €3220 and includes full accommodations, along with three wholesome, catered meals per day for 5 nights and 5 full days with unlimited tea throughout each day.
Joanna Barnes is the Institute of Feminine Arts Associate Teacher for the UK and Europe and will be
