One Yoga integrates a firm foundation in anatomy and bodywork with intelligent alignment, hands on adjustments and challenging vinyasa sequences. David brings joy, humor and compassion to all of his classes. Recently, David was voted Best of Boston Yoga Teacher 2005 by Boston Magazine and was co-director of Back Bay Yoga Studio from 2002-2007.
"I have studied Ashtanga, Kriya, Kripalu, Jivamukti, Forrest, Iyengar and Power Yoga. To be honest, however, I feel that learning is deepest when you face yourself alone and learn from your own body. When you develop your own practice it has no name, no forms; that is true yoga. I have studied so much and with so many different teachers for whom I am very grateful, but I have learned and am constantly learning the most from the man who created this website, my partner Todd."
"I am continually humbled and in awe at how much I still have to learn. If you are just starting yoga, study everything. Find what you love, grow in love. If something restrains you, discard it. All yoga can teach you something, don't be picky, be open, learn it all. Only then can you really know what works. Yoga is self-study. It is about you and your ego and eventually it is about nothing: the nothing in everything." - David
