Regularly practicing yoga since 2023
Graduated teaching power vinyasa training 2026
Hey guys! My name is Daniel. I recently graduated teacher training specialising in vinyasa, power and yin styles.
I am not new to teaching though! In my 20s I taught English professionally on four continents over five years. I love sharing my knowledge and passion with anyone curious and open to learn.
I went to my first ever yoga class at university in 2011. I was intimidated by the other students and really struggled to understand the poses. Throughout the 2010s I dabbled in yoga at various studios and community classes. There was something about yoga that appealed to me but I could not figure out what it was. Then I found a men's nude class. That space felt warm, welcoming and far less intimidating than the general classes.
Life got in the way and I landed on the doorstep of Gay Men's Yoga (GMY) in 2023. Much like my first men's nude class, GMY became my safe space. I bonded with many regular yoga guys and shared a lot of joy and laughter in the classes. I had found what I was looking for in a yoga studio and also within myself.
Yoga to me is about balance. Your time on the mat is yours to come back to who you are and let go of the external pressures life throws at you. I find the best way for me to do that is to laugh, take a moment to be less serious while still centering and rejuvenating my mind, body and spirit.
I can teach a strong power flow, a gentle restorative yin class or a mix. I have the training to offer a variety of class styles. In time I will adapt to my students as we get to know each other!
I am so grateful to GMY for fostering and encouraging me to grow on my yoga journey. Regular class prospects for recent graduates are rare and this opportunity allows me to share my passion and run my own nude yoga class Monday evenings at 7:30pm. I hope to see you there!
Cheers,
Dan
