"Yoga arose out of man's perception of nature and is a journey back to Nature." As an ancient Shamanic practice, Yoga is about creating personal empowerment, personal authority and total freedom with an understanding that Nature is our Teacher and Guide. THE CLASSES ARE SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS OF EXPERIENCE from beginning students to advanced practitioners, teacher trainees and teachers of ALL forms of YOGA. |
Danny draws from the teachings of Krishnamurti, Marianne Williamson, Caroline Myss, Buddha, ancient Egypt as well as many indigenous nature based cultures.
Danny passes on ancient traditions in a non-dogmatic, contemporary, compassionate, humorous way. His objective is to help guide people to evolutionary consciousness as well as to help people develop a Sacred, safe, meditative, healing, joyful, expanding, pain free, personal self-practice.
Danny teaches all the Ashtanga Sequences with emphasis on an expanding evolving practice. As a ritualistic, meditative and therapeutic exploration he shows derivative poses, modifications, Egyptian Yoga, Taoist, Kung Fu variations within the structure of all the sequences of Ashtanga Yoga.
Danny recognises 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'.
These explorations were designed to create well-being, fulfill personal destiny and learn to age with vitality, acceptance and grace.
