As one of the co-owners of Santosha David wishes to express his gratitude to Marcia and Barry, the founders of Santosha Yoga Centre, for all of their teachings given in their classes and by example in their lives before they moved to Boulder.
David comes to the Ashtanga Vinyasa system of Sri K. Pattahbi Jois as taught by Richard Freeman after years of meditation practice and classical hatha and pranayma instruction.
David has completed Richard Freeman's Basic and Advanced Teacher Trainings and attends Workshops and Trainings with Richard whenever and wherever they are available.
David has also studied Anusara yoga with John Friend and completed numerous workshops and trainings in the Anusara style of Yoga with senior Anusara teachers.
Believing that yoga and meditation are meant to be practiced together, David has also studied the Quiet Hatha practice known as Yin Yoga completing his teacher training in this style of yoga with Sarah Powers.
Both Anusara and Yin styles are incorporated into David's hatha classes. You may also find that a brief period of meditation will occasionally be placed in the class just to keep you mindful that the practice opens heart, body, mind and spirit.
