Teachers

Welcome to our website. I hope you find it useful and informative . Although particularly geared towards the people of Dublin, there is plenty of interesting info and tips for any visitor from the internet world. My name is Tim McEvitt and I'm an accredited teacher of yoga from the Atma Yoga School, having learned the system personally from Atmananda, this School's founder. To find out more about how a Dublin boy became a monk and got into an 'alternative lifestyle' click on link below (p.s. I'm not a monk anymore)

Tim's biography

Atmananda is the founder of the Atma Yoga School. From age 8 he was introduced to yoga by his mother, who had learned raja yoga from Swami Rama of the Himalayas. And it's been all yoga from there. He's based in Los Angeles, and at first glance to Irish eyes he may appear to be like an OTT Hollywood yoga guru. But when you actually get to know him you find a very genuine and deep person driven with a compassion to make the world a better place. Of course, he's still over the top, wildly exotic and far-out too! A point to note is that Atmananda didn't actually name his system of yoga after himself (may be interpreted as egotistical). What happened was his guru Bhakti Tirtha Swami gave him his name after the school was up and running.

His Holiness Bhakti Tirtha Swami was the original inspiration behind the Atma Yoga School of Yoga. Spiritual teacher, leader, monk, author, Princeton graduate and the world's first Afro-american guru are introductory words in his long resume. A personal friend of Nelson Mandela, BT Swami is noted for his humility, jovial spirit and massive beaming smile.

Originally from Dublin, Tulasi Priya Prabhu teaches bhakti yoga and Eastern philosophy at our centre. He has a gentle pleasant down-to-earth character, and is an expert and very personal spiritual coach. He began his journey on the mystical path in 1975, and in '76 was accepted into an ancient disciplic succession by taking initiation from His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. As such he is the only home-based disciple of Srila Prabhupada, and our great treasure.

Manager of three Govindas restaurants in Dublin and a high ranking officer of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness globally, we try to get Praghosa to give lectures as often as he's in town. The Donnycarney man spends much of his time travelling the globe looking after the affairs and concerns of the Society on an international level. His lectures on bhakti yoga and vegetarianism are wildly witty and contemporary.
