Tina Stroh r.y.t. of Just plain yoga is honored to welcome master

teacher Ashtanga David Williams to Harrisburg, PA.

 

David Williams has been practicing yoga since 1971 and Ashtanga

vinyasa yoga since 1973. He was the first non-Indian to be taught the

complete system of asana and pranayama directly from Pattabhi Jois in

Mysore, India.

 

In 1972 David met K. P. Manju, the son of Pattabhi Jois, at an ashram

in South India and saw him demonstrate the First Series. In 1973

David began direct study with Mr. Jois in Mysore. David introduced

Pattabhi Jois to America and the western world by organizing and

sponsoring Mr. Jois's first visit to Encinitas, California in 1975.

 

He has taught the Ashtanga system to many of today's leading teachers

and practioners, including David Swenson, Danny Paradise, Ganga

White, Tracy Rich, Chuck Miller, Maty Ezraty, Jonny Kest, and Bryan

Kest. He has not missed a day of practice in 30 years. David is 52

years old and is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at

Chapel Hill; he lives and teaches Ashtanga yoga on the island of

Maui, Hawaii. Note: You can see David Williams on David

Swenson's "Advanced Series" video tapes.

 

This workshop represents a rare opportunity to learn from one of the

acknowledged masters of the Ashtanga system. This is the first large

class David has agreed to teach in 12 years! So don't miss it. Be
