Danny Paradise

Danny Paradise has been practicing Ashtanga Yoga since 1976 and teaching worldwide since 1979. A student of David Williams, Nancy Gilgoff, and Pattabhi Jois, he was in one of the first groups of Westerners to learn all the classical ashtanga sequences and the first Western teacher to introduce Ashtanga Yoga internationally. Danny has also studied and practiced with yoga teachers and spiritual guides from other lineages and disciplines, including kung fu, tai chi, and karate, and his teaching integrates indigenous shamanic traditions, yoga philosophy, and the teachings of Krishnamurti, Buddha, ancient Egypt, and Hawaiian, Mayan, and Native American cultures. He is also a musician, singer, songwriter and performance artist.
