David has studied Hatha
Yoga for over ten years. His guru is Swami Shyam Yogi of Pushkar,
India, who was taught by Swami Satyananda Saraswati of the
Bihar School of Yoga, who was a student of the great Swami
Sivananda of Rishikesh. David spent two years at the Sri Tantuvai
Vaish Bhawan Yoga Centre in Pushkar with Swami Shyam Yogi,
studying Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, the Vedas and Hinduism,
becoming a Hatha Yoga instructor in 1998.
After traveling extensively
throughout the Himalayas of India and Nepal, David spent six
months at the Mahabodhi International Meditation Centre in
Ladakh, studying Buddhism and teaching English. He also spent
three months studying Hatha Yoga at the Yog Nikatan Ashram
in Rishikesh. In England, David regularly practices with friend
and Yoga instructor Hilary Carter of the British Wheel of
Yoga. David has taught privately and group classes around
the world including America, Australia, United Kingdom, Thailand,
Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
Yoga classes taught by David
are based on the teachings of Swami Sivananda, which specify
that to live harmoniously the body, mind and spirit must develop
in a balanced way. Hatha Yoga is a powerful tool that propels
the student along this path towards purification of the body
and steadiness of the mind, resulting in radiant health and
inner peace. This involves Asana – stretching and toning
of the body, Pranayama – control and regulation of the
life force using the breath, Yoga Nidra – deep relaxation
and withdrawal of the senses, and Dharana – concentration
and inner awareness. These techniques allow the student to
sit quietly in meditation, undisturbed from external influences.
Dormant areas of the brain can then be awakened leading to
spiritual evolution.
In 1999 David founded The Omsense
International School of Yoga, taking Yoga around the world,
bringing health, spiritual wealth and happiness to all. As
well as teaching the traditional form of Hatha Yoga from the
heart of India, The Omsense International School of Yoga also
offers training of yogic techniques for Relaxation and Stress
Management, Kundalini Yoga and Power Yoga classes. Classes
are taught in group or private sessions depending on the needs
of the individual.
Now 36 years old, David continues
to carry the light of Yoga around the world. He gives regular
classes on cliff tops and beaches near his home in Dorset,
on the south coast of England, and frequently travels abroad
to give training and seminars at fitness centres and health
spas around the world.
From his training and experience
David has compiled The Hatha Yoga Handbook, to ensure the
safe and effective practise of Hatha Yoga techniques for students
attending Hatha Yoga classes.
The OmsenseInternational School
of Yoga is an Associate organization of Sanctuary Resorts.
