We are very happy to receive Danny for the 3rd time in Modena! I’ve been studying with this Amazing tezher for the last 6 years and I feel so blessed to see him again at my school!

This is not the “traditional Ashtanga” workshop, but an opportunity to go deeper into the self through all the practices  proposed by Danny: meditative, ritualistic and the therapeutic exploration of Pranayama, Asanas, Egyptian and Taoist poses, besides the Kung Fu and Tai Chi influences.

The sessions include discussions, Pranayama and Asana. Each asana class will also include derivative poses and modifications to show how to keep expanding the practices of Ashtanga Yoga to make them a joyous, sacred, lifetime, healing, unlimited exploration. “Yoga arose out of man’s perception of nature and is a journey back to Nature.” As an ancient Shamanic practice, Yoga is about creating personal empowerment, personal authority and total freedom with an understanding that Nature is our Spiritual Teacher and Guide. Danny Paradise has been practising Ashtanga Yoga since 1976 and teaching worldwide since 1979. He initially studied with the first Western teachers of Ashtanga, David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff. Danny learned the beginning and advanced sequences from them over five years and has studied with Sri Pattabhi Jois in 1978 and 1980. Danny has also studied and practised with Yoga teachers and Spiritual guides in many other lineages and traditions as well as teachers of Kung Fu, Tai Chi and Karate. Since 1979 Danny has introduced all levels of the practices of Ashtanga Yoga to students and teachers worldwide. He has also introduced the Ashtanga practices to world renowned artists, musicians, dancers, Buddhist Lamas, actors and sports champions. He incorporates several indigenous spiritual traditions into the practice and philosophy of Yoga, relating Yoga to all Shamanic nature-based  cultures. Danny draws from the teachings of Krishnamurti, Buddha, ancient Egypt as well as many Indigenous Cultures: Hawaiian, Mayan, Native Americans. Danny passes on ancient traditions in a non-dogmatic, contemporary, compassionate, humorous way. His purpose is to help people  develop a Sacred, safe, meditative, healing, joyful, expanding, pain free, personal self-practice. Danny teaches all the Ashtanga sequences with emphasis on an expanding evolving practice. He shows derivative poses, modifications and variations within the structure of all the sequences of  Ashtanga Yoga.  Classes include Pranayama, Asana and open discussions on topics such as:

  1. Shamanic and Historical Roots of Yoga and the connection to other ancient cultures: Egyptian, Mayan, North and South American Native, Chinese, Polynesian.
  2. Healing Processes of Ashtanga Yoga, and other healing traditions.
  3. Relationship of Yoga to Sacred Indigenous Spiritual traditions worldwide.
  4. Spiritual Intelligence and Evolution.
  5. Responsibility, Personal Authority, The Sacred, Fulfilling Personal Destiny and Yoga.
  6. Food, Diet and the dangers of the Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Genetically Modified Food Industries.
  7. Medical Intuition: Understanding the processes that create disease and healing and the relationship to Chakras and glandular systems.
  8. Yogic and Shamanic perspectives on aging and Death.
