By 2000,
drawn to the teachings of TKV Desikachar, she started individual
tuition with Hanne Gillespie, Director of Clonlea Yoga Studio
in Blackrock. Convinced of the benefits of this approach
she embarked on a new phase of study to become a registered
aYs practitioner, under the direction of Paul Harvey at
Yoganjali in Bristol.
Actively
involved in the development of Yoga in Ireland, she is a
committee member of the Northern Ireland Yoga Fellowship,
and served for a time as secretary to The Yoga Federation
of Ireland.
What
is aYs?
The Association for Yoga Studies (aYs)
is an organisation committed to the teachings of T Krishnamacharya

Harvey, a student of Desikachar since 1976, originally founded
it (as Viniyoga Britain) in 1981. Within the UK and Ireland,
aYs is the national professional body supporting those students
who have undertaken at least 4 years of teaching and therapy
training to qualify and become licensed as aYs Practitioners.www.yogastudies.org
