Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Hi Arturo slightly off-topic, but I notice you said you attended a workshop with David Williams. He¹s coming to the UK for the first time in years and years and I¹m thinking about attending. Would you recommend it? I ask as I¹ve been having serious trouble getting any opinions on David Williams due to the fact that he does far less workshops than most of the top teachers around the globe. How does he compare to the other ashtangi¹s you¹ve studied with?
