Alumni Ambassador David Schubert

Santosha Yoga Centers & Rama Lotus

From a very early age David remembers an innate desire to seek out higher purpose and meaning in everyday life. This difficult and confusing journey took many twists and turns before finally landing him at the door of Yoga.

Once there, David's path has lead him to explore a variety of systems of Yoga and meditation including Sivananda, Classical Hatha, Kundalini, Ashtanga, Anusara, Kripalu and Jiva Mukti. Today he teaches regular classes at two of Ottawas largest yoga centers( www.ottawayoga.com and www.santoshayoga.com). He also teaches private classes and visits high schools regularly for day long yoga seminars. David's teaching style is inspired by a deep respect and intuitive understanding of the practice. He shares this by teaching primarily a "power vinyasa" style of yoga.

David holds degrees in Mechanical and Systems Engineering and works full time as a software designer at Nortel Networks here in Ottawa. He is also a husband and the extremely proud father of a beautiful little girl. Yoga has helped him in innumerable ways to remain balanced and focused at work and at play. It has been an instrumental tool in coping with the day to day physical and mental demands of fatherhood and a hi-tech career.
