Danny Paradise has been practising Ashtanga Yoga since 1975 and teaching worldwide since 1979. He initially studied with the first Western teachers of Ashtanga, David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff. Danny learned the beginning and advanced sequences from them over five years and has studied with Sri Patabbhi Jois in 1978 and 1980. Danny has also studied and practised with Yoga teachers and Spiritual guides in many other lineages and traditions as well as teachers of Kung fu, Tai Chi and Karate. Danny teaches all the Ashtanga Sequences with emphasis on an expanding evolving practice. He shows derivative poses, modifications and variations with the structure of all the sequences of Ashtanga Yoga.
SINCE 1979 Danny has introduced all levels of the practices of Ashtanga Yoga to students and teachers worldwide. Danny is our long time friend and first teacher- we met Danny back in 1986, when Ashtanga Yopga was still considered as strange and bizarre…you know, Dynamic Yoga Practice? Sweating? Is that possible?? Is that legal?..... well, this is when Ashtanga started in Israel, with us.
He has also introduced the Ashtanga practices to world renowned artists, musicians, dancers, Buddhist Lamas, actors and sports champions. He incorporates several indigenous spiritual traditions into the practice and philosophy of Yoga, relating Yoga to all Shamanic nature-based cultures. He draws from the teachings of Krishnamurti, Buddha, ancient Egypt as well as many Indigenous Cultures: Hawaiian, Mayan, Native Americans... Danny passes on ancient traditions in a non-dogmatic, contemporary, compassionate, humorous way. His purpose is to help people develop a Sacred, safe, meditative, healing, joyful, expanding, pain free, personal self-practice.
EACH Asana class with Danny will include derivative poses and modifications to show how to keep expanding the practices of Ashtanga Yoga to make them a Joyous, Sacred, Lifetime, Healing, Unlimited Exploration
Classes include Pranayama, Asana, and open discussions on topics such as: · Shamanic and Historical Roots of Yoga and the connection to other ancient cultures: Egyptian, Mayan, North and South American Native, Chinese, Polynesian
· Healing Processes of Ashtanga Yoga, and other healing traditions.
· Relationship of Yoga to Sacred Indigenous Spiritual traditions worldwide,
· Spiritual Intelligence and Evolution.
· Responsibility, Personal Authority, The Sacred, Fulfilling Personal Destiny and Yoga
· Food, Diet and the dangers of the Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Genetically Modified Food Industries.
· Medical Intuition: Understanding the processes that create disease and healing and the relationship to Chakras and glandular systems.
· Yogic and Shamanic perspectives on Aging and Death.
Each session will include short discussions on various topics as listed above.
The first session can be an intro to my approach with derivative poses within the standing and finishing sequence of the primary series.
The Second session will include Discussions, Pranayama, extended Standing sequence and an exploration of an expanded primary series, elements of 2nd and derivative routines from other traditions.
The 3rd session can be a discussion, pranayama and include an introduction to the 2nd series which will be accessible to all levels of students and teachers. Depending upon the level of the people attending I will also introduce some elements of the advanced sequences and beyond....
"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 Spiritual Teacher and Guide...
