Daniel took his first yoga class as a freshman in college, back in 2003. It was typical "gym-class" yoga, and though it was enjoyable, he didn't learn about its therapeutic and healing benefits until much later. Throughout college, he studied many spiritual paths from the east and west, and was a big self-improvement junkie, gobbling up books by Deepak, Tolle, Rajneesh/Osho, Dyer, and a whole host of less famous, but no less interesting characters. Anything unique, esoteric, non-conforming, and capable of jolting him out of long-established thinking patterns and assumptions, he studied. After a while he realized that he wasn't really getting anywhere; he kept reading and learning, but his life situation wasn't changing. That's when he understood the importance of his body, and the essentia- lness of learning to ground himself with a daily physical practice. He learned that all healing begins in the body, and that's when he decided to delve fully into yoga, and become a teacher. He took the Yama Therapeutics 200-Hour training course at the Yogaville Ashram in Virginia, and awaits his full certification pending the completion of an 8-week teaching internship. As a graduate from George Washington University with a degree in psychology, Daniel hopes to weave together the ancient wisdom of the yogic path with the modern under- standing of the mind and emotions, in order to create a truly holistic method of healing to help humanity. Currently, in his spare time, he enjoys reading, bike riding, exploring forests, cooking, weightlifting, zen, and of course, yoga! |
