 David
Williams has been practicing yoga daily, without interruption,
since 1971. In 1972, David met K. P. Manju, the son of K. Pattabhi Jois,
and saw him demonstrate the Ashtanga Yoga 1st series. This was at Dr. Swami
Gitananda's Ananda Ashram in Pondicherry, South India, where David received
his 6 month Yoga teachers training course certification.
In
1973, David began studying Ashtanga Yoga with K. Pattabhi Jois at his
home in Mysore, India, and became the first non-Indian to be taught the
complete Ashtanga Yoga system of asanas and pranayama directly from Jois.
David introduced K. Pattabhi Jois and Manju to America and the western
world when he, along with Nancy Gilgoff, organized and sponsored their
first visit to Encinitas, California, in 1975.
David
is responsible for teaching the Ashtanga Yoga system to many of today's
leading teachers and practitioners, including David Swenson, Doug Swenson,
Danny Paradise, Bryan Kest, Jonny Kest, Tracy Rich, Chuck Miller, and
Maty Ezraty.
David
is 61 years old. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill. He has lived on the island of Maui, Hawaii, since l975,
and teaches individual or group classes by appointment.

David
Williams is an open-minded guy and a dedicated yogi. I appreciated hearing
his thoughts about teaching & practicing Ashtanga, especially w/
regards to ahimsa, bandha, and prana. I was surprised as a practicing
yogi how I had bought into our cultural misconceptions about what this
yoga is really about. Thanks David, you really laid it out simple &
clear, and it made good sense to me.
- Whit

recommend David Williams' workshop to anyone who wants to practice Ashtanga
