Conor Byrnes

Conor Byrnes is an international yoga and meditation teacher whose work has taken him across five continents — leading retreats, trainings, and workshops in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Bali, Morocco, India, and Indonesia, alongside a European circuit running from Paris and Berlin to Barcelona, Milan, Stavanger, and beyond.

An Advanced Certified Jivamukti teacher (800+ hours) by formal training, his own teaching has grown into something independent and synthetic — drawing on six lineages (Jivamukti, Ashtanga Mysore, Iyengar, Sivananda, Dharma Mittra, and Black Lotus) and grounded in the philosophy of Nondual Śaiva Tantra. From this, he has built his own body of work, including the Spanda U teacher-training system and his triple-register krama sequencing. He has mentored at international teacher trainings in India and beyond, and guides emerging teachers toward certification.

A neuropsychologist by training (MSc, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) and a former Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal, Conor has always paired his teaching with ecological and humanitarian work. That commitment began in Senegal with the Jango Project — clean water, schools, and reforestation in rural communities — and continues today in the founding of Safara Lekki, a regenerative sanctuary in Casamance.
