a personal note from Knut:

Almost 20 years ago I first met Danny in the old and sweaty changing room of a gym in a primary school where he held a workshop. Mind you: this was way before big Yoga studios, yoga festivals and the like - we used whatever venue was available. Danny taught an eager group of students and kept teasing 'one more?', the class went on forever and I was amazed. Back then Danny had been travelling the world and sharing the practices of yoga and his evergrowin insights into life already for well over 20 years. Since then I had the pleasure of meeting him around the globe regularly and I am truly happy to welcome him to Vienna this year, don`t miss!!!
