 **********************************************


Danny has been practising Ashtanga Yoga since May 1976 and
teaching publicly (and occasionally privately) worldwide since
1979. He teaches all levels of students and teachers and was in
one of the earliest groups of Westerners to learn all the
classical sequences of Ashtanga Yoga.


His first teachers were David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff. David
was the first western Ashtanga adept. He began teaching with
David Williams in 1979 and was asked to assist him at that time.


He introduces the forms to beginning students, experienced,
advanced practitioners, and teachers. Many people he has taught
are now teaching others and have their own schools. He also
introduced the Ashtanga forms to many people who were Yoga
teachers in other traditions and styles.


Danny has taught numerous well-known artists, musicians, dancers,
and sports champions and studied with K. Pattabhi Jois in 1978 in
Hawaii and 1980 in Hawaii in the USA. This included K.P. Jois'
first advanced series of public classes in 1980 which were in
Maui, Hawaii.


He's also studied and practised with numerous teachers of other
Yoga forms as well as various martial arts including Karate, Kung
Fu and Tai Chi. His influences in Spirituality have come from
Krishnamurti, teachings of Buddha, Jesus, Shiva, Yoga, as well as
numerous Shamanic traditions of Native North and South Americans,
from indigenous cultures of the Pacific, Tibet, Africa and
Southeast Asia. Some of these traditions also include Mayan,
Egyptian, and Hawaiian.


His main objective is to help people develop a sacred, personal,
private, safe, healing, meditative, consistent, non-dogmatic Yoga
practice.
