Presenting the brilliant Greg Walsh of Temple Bar Yoga
Weāre so delighted to have Greg with us on our Teacher Training Team.
Heās the Senior Yoga Teacher & owner of Temple Bar Yoga in Dublin
With over 25 years of teaching experience, Greg Walsh is one of Irelandās most respected yoga educators. A senior teacher and studio director, Greg brings a wealth of knowledge, precision, and passion to his teaching ā qualities that have inspired generations of students and teachers alike.
Greg began teaching yoga in 1999 and has since founded and directed several leading studios, including Prana Yoga Centre, Samadhi Yoga and Temple Bar Yoga in Dublin. His teaching has taken him across Ireland, Europe, and the USA, where he is known for his clear instruction, grounded philosophy, and deep respect for yoga as a living practice.
Introduced to yoga while travelling in Nepal, Greg was drawn to its transformative potential. He studied the Iyengar method intensively for over 20 years, earning his Intermediate Level 3 Certificate in 2016. While his teaching remains deeply informed by this training, Greg no longer teaches within the Iyengar system. Instead, he has developed a more exploratory and fluid approach ā one that values clarity, awareness, and personal inquiry over strict form or dogma.
In his words:
āWe use yoga to gain mastery of the body, the body to connect with the breath, and the breath to understand the mind. Through that process, we begin to touch something deeper ā awareness, consciousness, essence.ā
As a teacher on The Yoga House Teacher Training, Greg offers his extensive experience and unique perspective to help trainees deepen their understanding of yoga ā not just as a practice, but as a way of seeing and living.
What Greg Brings to the Training
As a teacher on The Yoga House 200-Hour Teacher Training, Greg Walsh brings over 25 years of experience in asana practice, alignment-based teaching, and functional movement. His approach blends precision with curiosity ā encouraging trainees to understand not just what a posture looks like, but how and why it works in the body.
Gregās teaching is rooted in clear alignment principles and informed by a deep study of anatomy in action. His sessions explore how bones, joints, and muscles interact in each pose, helping trainees recognise safe and efficient movement patterns. Through this, students learn to see bodies clearly, read alignment intelligently, and teach with confidence and care.
On the training, Greg will lead modules in:
Asana and Alignment ā establishing a clear understanding of postural foundations, stability, and balance.
Anatomy in Asana ā integrating functional anatomy into practice, with attention to individual variation and joint mechanics.
Teaching Methodology ā developing the skills of observation, sequencing, adjustment, and communication essential for effective teaching.
Gregās sessions are practical, detailed, and supportive. He brings humour, precision, and depth of experience to every class ā helping trainees bridge the gap between learning and teaching with confidence and clarity.
