Profiles: Anthony Kearney

Anthony started his practice in 1991 initially he studied Iyengar yoga, he is a certified Iyengar teacher and taught this until he was introduced to Ashtanga yoga. After this he concentrated his studies and teaching on Ashtanga which was not very hard as from the very beginning he fell in love with it: Captured by the flowing techniques, challenging asanas, the breathing and the bandas.

Anthony believes his practice combined with meditation has changed both his physical and non physical body, making him feel good about himself and giving him more confidence. In his teaching he is enthusiastic to share his experiences with his students teaching with patientience and disipline, encouraging them to be individual in their practice. He can often be heard in his classes reminding people not become competitive, to stay in there own practice because when we start to compare ourselves with others we become discontent with our own practice and then ourselves.

Anthony has been taught by other leading Ashtanga teachers such as Pathabhi Jois, John Scott, David Swenson, Danny Paradise, Godfrey Devereux, Lino Miele, Granville.

He is currently studying with senior teachers Graeme and Leonie Northfield for the past 3 years spending up to 2 months of the year with them deepening his own understanding and practice of Ashtanga yoga. He would like to acknowledge the privilege that it has been to have worked with such senior teachers.

Anthony will bring his years of experience to assisting on the Dublin training.
