Many many moons ago we had a beautiful idea. We were going to return to our homeland, Ireland, having spent a few years teaching English to the police in Italy and bring our new Italian friends with us on a tour of Ireland and teach them some English ‘on the road’. This idea evolved into a Colm & Adi partnership called ‘Land of Tours’, and adult students, mostly from Italy and Spain, came to Ireland to spend three-week language holidays, two of which were spent in the capital and one in the stunningly beautiful South West Kerry region. In 1995, we had a life changing experience when we met the great Mario Rinvolucri at an ACELS conference in Dublin. We cast aside our text books and embraced a more holistic, humanistic philosophy, opening ourselves up to a brand- new paradigm and a host of unimaginable experiences. Four babies and a dog later we thought it might be best to settle in one place We chose Cahersiveen, Co. Kerry to be our base. We chose it because of its stunning location, friendly locals and authentic, traditional way of life. We made a GREAT decision. We trained in Yoga, NLP, counselling and changed the name of our school to Asana (the Sanskrit word for yoga posture). Nowadays, students come to Asana from Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Kazakhstan, Russia, Poland, Laos, Guinea and many others. We work with ELT teachers, local artists, musicians, story tellers, nature enthusiasts and dreamers. As we move towards a more transpersonal approach to education, we are reminded of how exciting our transition was into holistic and humanistic learning all those years ago. We were so passionate about our work! But, we are still as passionate now as we were then and this time it’s even more exciting as there are more of us! We invite all of our students to embark with us on our new journey of discovery.
