Danny has been practicing Ashtanga Yoga for 28 years beginning in May 1975 and teaching publicly {and occassionally privately} worldwide for the past 24 years. 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 & 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.

Since 1982 he has had the good fortune of introducing Ashtanga Yoga throughout the world.He is happy to introduce the form to beginners or teach the advanced sequences to experienced practitioners. Many people he has taught are teachers now and have their own schools. He's also introduced the Ashtanga forms to many people who were Yoga teachers in other traditions and styles.

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

He's also studied and practiced 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 South East Asia. Some of these traditions also include Mayan, Egyptian, Hawaiian...

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