ABOUT

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! I’m Danny, a meditation and yoga teacher in New York City. I have 15 years experience teaching and practicing meditation and yoga. I first practiced yoga and meditation when I was 18. By the time I was 24 it had become more of a way of life than a hobby. In 2009, I met Amma (Mata Amritandamayi Devi), "the hugging saint."  For the past 9 years I have been traveling with and volunteering (karma yoga) for her programs around the world.  I am also a student of Buddhism, attending silent retreats at Insight Meditation Center in Barre, Massachusetts for more than a decade.  I’ve had the opportunity to study with many learned teachers in the Theravada Buddhist tradition and the Iyengar Yoga lineage. I continue my studies at the Iyengar Institute. I sincerely believe in the power of yoga and meditation as transformative tools for all of us to cultivate and learn from. Currently, I teach at SkyTing Yoga in Manhattan, NY, instruct for the Corporate Wellness Program at Maha Rose, and run seasonal yoga retreats through PeaceCamp yoga. I love eggplant parmesan, banana splits, and metta (loving kindness) meditation.
