Helen Keane Yoga


Yoga which originated in India is mostly associated with the ancient practice of asanas and encourages a better understanding of self, leading to a state of ease.


Before trying yoga, I had led a busy and sometimes stressful life. Following university, I had moved to the US where I worked for a busy Japanese company and enjoyed New York for two years. I then decided to return home to pursue my interest in Art & Design and study for a digital design qualification following which I enjoyed working for several Dublin studios.


Experiencing the stress associated with jobs and deadlines, I began like many people, to feel the need for a better work life balance.


In 2002, I moved with my husband to Japan and practiced regularly. It was in 2005, in Seoul South Korea that my passion for yoga really deepened as I met the challenge of adjusting to life in a big new city and recovery from a serious illness. Classes at Sun Ha's studio near the Han river were highlights in my week.


In 2006, Dagmar Buhler, my friend from the yoga studio in Seoul, and I set out for Vrindavan in the north of India for the intensive one month teacher training at the Sivananda school. The course was rigourous with daily assessments and a final written examination. Yoga teacher certification was awarded based on a successful practical teaching assessment.

After Sivananda, I taught my first classes on the US military base in the centre of Seoul!

Since returning to Dublin in 2006, I have taught Hatha, prenatal and postnatal yoga for several yoga & holistic studios, the City of Dublin VEC, corporate groups, and private classes.


In 2009, I returned to India, this time to Madurai in Tamil Nadu province for the advanced teacher training course to further develop my personal practice and deepen my teaching skills. I am currently studying for the Yoga Therapy Ireland Post Graduate yoga diploma.
