Michele Harney

Michele graduated from Dublin City University in 1989 with an honours degree in Business Studies and has worked in management over the last two decades. Whilst working full time professionally she also continued to pursue her interest in personal development from both a Western and Eastern perspective.

This interest first developed with training in Counselling Skills when she completed a Diploma Course with the National University of Ireland, Maynooth in 1998. This was followed by a Certificate in Gestalt Therapy from the School of Humanistic Psychotherapy in 2001 and also in the same year a Diploma in Life & Business Coaching with The Coach Institute of Ireland.

Exploring her interest in the link between mind and body led Michele to study and practice Yoga from 1998. From 2001 to 2007 she trained with Hanne Gillespie at the Clonlea Yoga Studio completing a Stage One Yoga Introductory Yoga Workshop Course in 2001 and a Stage Two Foundation Yoga Workshop Course in 2003.

Between 2005 and 2008 she undertook a professionally accredited four year Yoga Practitioner Programme Teacher Training, through the Centre for Yoga Studies (cYs) in the UK with Paul Harvey, to learn both the teaching and therapeutic application of Yoga for groups and especially individual situations.

From 2009 Michele is undertaking an advanced two year Yoga Further Studies Programme again through the Centre for Yoga Studies focusing on Yoga psychology and therapeutic application of Yoga for individuals.

In addition to being registered as a Teacher for Yoga Tuition and Therapy with cYs, Michele is professionally accredited to teach by the UK national governing body for Yoga the BWY and EUFNY the European Union of Yoga Federations.
