Saol Beo – In-person – Meditation Teacher Training Course June and September 2024 with Tara O’Rourke and Michael McCann

Michael is one of our most experienced and respected teachers of meditation and has been described as one of Ireland’s pre-eminent Yoga philosophers. He has spent many years of study and reflection on this subject and offers the student an immense reservoir from which to draw. He has devised and developed this unique and comprehensive Yoga Meditation Diploma Course from his many years of deep immersion in Gyana and Raja Yoga. He has studied extensively under Swami Nishchalananda Saraswati of Mandala Yoga Ashram, and taught Yoga philosophy, subtle anatomy, and meditation in leading Yoga schools throughout Ireland. In recent years he has also studied with Dr. Ananada Balayogi Bhavanani  in the Rishiculture Gitananda tradition and was honoured by him with the title of ‘Yogacharya’ ie ‘Master of Yoga’. His teaching is flavoured with immense wisdom, compassion, generosity, humility, and warmth.

Tara has over twenty-five years of yoga practice and teaching experience since 2015 (accredited by the Yoga Alliance as a 500RYA advanced teacher), is not only a Yoga Mentor and Business/Life Coach, but also skilfully weaves these disciplines into a unique offering.

The space she curates radiates warmth, serenity, and with an open invitation. Advocating for the integration of yoga into daily life, Tara imparts wisdom teachings that hold significant relevance for individuals seeking to explore and enhance their own paths today.
