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!!!
