Dan­ny: 

Dan­ny teach­es the Ash­tan­ga Yoga sequences with empha­sis on an expand­ing, evolv­ing prac­tice as well as show­ing deriv­a­tive pos­es, mod­i­fi­ca­tions and vari­a­tions. He strives to cre­ate inde­pen­dence from teach­ers and systems.

He draws from the teach­ings of Krish­na­mur­ti, Bud­dhism, ancient Egypt, con­tem­po­rary teach­ers such as Car­olyne Myss as well as many Shaman­ic nature based indige­nous native cul­tures includ­ing Mayan, Hawai­ian and Native Americans.

Dan­ny com­mu­ni­cates the teach­ings of ancient tra­di­tions in a non-dog­mat­ic, con­tem­po­rary, com­pas­sion­ate, humor­ous way. He pass­es on how to expe­ri­ence and cre­ate a med­i­ta­tive, ther­a­peu­tic and rit­u­al­is­tic Yoga practice.

He rec­og­nizes Yoga as an ancient Shaman­ic prac­tice and relates Yoga to all Shaman­ic, nature based, indige­nous explo­rations from North and South Amer­i­ca, Poly­ne­sia, Tibet, Africa and Asia. The Yogis and Shamans were the ear­ly pio­neers of con­scious­ness, heal­ing knowl­edge, and com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the spir­it realms. The basic premise of Shaman­ism is that nature is our spir­i­tu­al guide and teacher. Danny’s main objec­tive is guid­ing peo­ple to evo­lu­tion­ary con­scious­ness as well as to help peo­ple devel­op a heal­ing, sacred, per­son­al, med­i­ta­tive, joy­ful, non-dog­mat­ic Yoga practice.

Yoga is designed to cre­ate well-being, help peo­ple ful­fill per­son­al des­tiny and learn to age with vital­i­ty, ener­gy and grace. Dan­ny teach­es Yoga as a means of cre­at­ing per­son­al author­i­ty, per­son­al respon­si­bil­i­ty lead­ing to uni­ver­sal responsibility.

He also has stud­ied Kung Fu, Tai Chi and Karate. Dan­ny is a musi­cian, singer, song­writer, per­for­mance artist, Human Rights Activist, film mak­er and film producer.

a per­son­al note from Knut:

It s been well over 10 years since I first met Dan­ny in the old and sweaty chang­ing room of a gym in a pri­ma­ry school where he held a work­shop. Mind you: this was way before big Yoga stu­dios, yoga fes­ti­vals and the like — we used what­ev­er venue was avail­able. Dan­ny taught an eager group of stu­dents and kept teas­ing “one more?”, the class went on for­ev­er and I was amazed. Back then Dan­ny had been trav­el­ling the world and shar­ing the prac­tices of yoga and his ever­growin insights into life already for well over 20 years. Since then I had the plea­sure of meet­ing him around the globe reg­u­lar­ly and I am tru­ly hap­py to wel­come him to Vien­na this year, don‘t miss!!!
