"My goal is to help you develop your own, mature, enlightening practice within the lineage of traditional Yoga. Everyone comes to Yoga with unique, individual circumstances, and I use my knowledge, experience, and passion to become your ally and together we explore the world of Yoga to find a practical and joyous practice for you that will serve your personal aspirations. I'm part of a great lineage that includes Krishnamacharya, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Rangaswamy, and many other dedicated, passionate, devoted people. If you desire it, I want you to become part of this lineage and join with all of us who continue to benefit so tremendously from practice" -David Garrigues
