With a strong eye for aesthetics and a deep love of music and movement, he brings a refined and creative approach to teaching. His yoga path began as a shared passion with his wife Alison, evolving from weekly classes to yoga holidays and then teacher trainings. He completed 200-hour Vinyasa Teacher Training and Yin Foundation Training with Josh Summers, followed by a 300-hour training in Astanga and Hatha yoga.
David is a certified Iyengar yoga teacher and continues to study within the Iyengar system, which remains his true passion. He is dedicated to helping each person find a practice that suits their body and supports their best possible alignment. The therapeutic quality of this style has also helped him deepen both his personal practice and teaching.

He is a regular guest teacher with YogaMea in Italy, where yoga and a great plate of pasta make the perfect pairing.
