Danny Paradise Yoga Retreats
Danny Paradise has been practising Ashtanga Yoga since 1975 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 Patabbhi Jois in 1978 and 1980. Danny has also studied and practiced with Yoga teachers and Spiritual guides in many other lineages and traditions as well as teachers of Kung fu, Tai Chi and Karate.
He's also studied and practiced with numerous teachers of other Yoga forms as well as various martial arts including Karate, Kung Fu and Tai Chi. His influences in Spirituality have come from Krishnamurti, teachings of Buddha, Jesus, Shiva, Yoga, as well as numerous Shamanic traditions of Native North and South Americans, from indigenous cultures of the Pacific, Tibet, Africa and South East Asia. Some of these traditions also include Mayan, Egyptian, Hawaiian... His main objective is to help people develop a sacred, personal, private, safe, healing, meditative, consistent , non-dogmatic Yoga practice. A few of Danny's personal thoughts:
“Though Yoga is an ancient teaching it is open to interpretation
in all eras and by everyone who enters into the exploration of finding who they really are and what is their ever-evolving place in this endless creation.” “One of the true messages of Yoga, is empowerment of the individual and learning to take full responsibility for everything that happens to us."

- Everyone is born to follow their dream.
- Borders were created by narrow-minded men {not women!} to divide and control people, but God created a world and a universe without borders, without limitations...
- Only a person with a tiny mind wants to lock people out or in.
- Death is just another stage of evolution.
- Love is an endless well available at all times from the Great Spirit...no charge!
- Go organic! Stay Flexible...
- Find out what's really going on....Travel!
