Our Centre
Our centre in Ireland operates year-round, offering daily classes, workshops and other events in addition to our Summer 200 and 500 Hr Teacher Training program.
Our studio has a thriving membership and has become a hub for Ashtanga and yoga education in Europe. Director Yogacharya Lalit Kumar teaches in Ireland between April to October, he leads workshops, teaches both masterclasses and daily classes, and practices with the teaching team on a professional development basis during this time. Many graduates and yogis travel to Ireland to study with Lalit during the summer months and great learning takes place during this time!
All of the teachers at Himalaya Yoga Valley Cork are graduates of our TTC program and trained to the highest standards by Lalit and his team. Our staff in Ireland are honoured to carry on the ancient lineage of the Himalayas. Our aim is to deliver these traditional teachings in a modern, friendly setting where everybody is welcome.

Community Initiatives
We are committed to giving back to each community we operate in, and Himalaya Yoga Valley Centre Cork supports the fundraising efforts of the Cork Simon Community and Pieta House through our Yoga in the Park program in the summer months and other various fundraising efforts that benefit community causes. To date we have raised almost €80,000 to help fund community mental health and to help fight homelessness in Cork City. We also provide complimentary yoga classes as a way to support staff and volunteers of Cork Simon in continuing their excellent work.
Himalaya Yoga Valley Cork are always open to proposals from any parties interested in bettering our community through yoga. Please get in touch if you have a project you would like us to be involved with.
