Your Teachers
Hi, I’m David Vexelman.
With a lot of work and love, I am now opening Casa Ashtanga, a place to inspire more people to practice this amazing method.
I started Ashtanga at the age of 27. After that day, I never stopped and become a passionate practitioner.
I studied under the guidance of Guy Donahaye (USA), Kristina Karitinou (Greece), Gibran Gonzales (Mexico), Pablo Pirrillo (Argentina), Eddie Stern (Ashtanga Yoga New York).
2014
In 2014 I decided to deepen my practice and travel to Kerala, India, to follow a 200 hour teacher training in Yoga Therapy in Abhijna School Of Yoga And Meditation. One month later I went to Mysore, where I studied at Shri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute. I spent all year travelling around India.
2016
In 2016 I moved to Switzerland where I started assisting and teaching at Ashtanga Yoga Lausanne. Later on, I took an Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training with Mark and Joan Darby (Montréal), both Certified by Shri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Chamonix, France. After leaving Switzerland I spent one year practicing with Iain Grysak and Damián De Bastier (Samadi Bali) in Bali, Indonesia.
2018
In 2018 I moved to Leipzig, and have been teaching at Ashtanga Yoga Loft Leipzig ever since. I travel every year to practice with my main teacher Vijay Kumar in Mysore, India. While in Europe, I practice under the guidance of Adam Keen (UK) who introduced me to the Advance series A (third series).
