Teacher Details

I have been practising Yoga for 25 years now, and Ashtanga since 1999. In 2002, having been teaching yoga part-time since 1994, I decided to devote myself fully to Yoga practice and study, and I opened the Shala in Blackrock.
I have been blessed to have been able to study with some of the most wonderfully dedicated Ashtanga teachers in the world and I am forever deeply grateful to them.
To Lino Miele and Gwendoline Hunt, my first teachers; more recently to Peter Sanson and Paul Dallaghan, especially for the Pranayama.
And most especially to Manju Jois, whose special energy is such a great blessing to us all individually and to the Shala.
I have also been lucky enough to study Yoga philosophy and chanting with Dr. M.A. Jayashree and Prof. M. A. Narashima of the Ananta Research Foundation in Mysore. Again love and thanks, and also to our dearest friend and Spiritual teacher, Jackie O Keeffe, who is helping me to see things as they really are.
Above all, I am eternally grateful to Guruji, whom I had the privilege to practice with in Mysore, and to whom I attribute all the good things that have come to me since I began to do this practice, most especially Paula and Grace, who are my daily support and sustenance in life, and who allow me to know love with every breath.
