David Thurn, E-RYT

David Thurn has studied yoga with T.K.V. Desikachar and with senior teachers in the lineage of B.K.S. Iyengar. His teaching of asana reflects both Iyengar’s emphasis on precise alignment and Desikachar’s attention to individual needs. His classes are designed to help students to deepen their understanding of individual poses; to develop strength, flexibility, and balance; to cultivate a detailed awareness of body, mind and breath; and to experience deeper levels of growth and integration. He has been teaching since 2002.

About Southern Praying Mantis

This system of Southern Praying Mantis originated in the Kwong Sai Provence of Southern China. Its training methods are classified as a soft-hard style. This martial art incorperates the traditional Kung Fu conditioning methods of Ma Bo (footwork), Sun Yen (body posture), and Kuen Fat (hand methods), with emphasis on combining the soft and hard (yin and yang) together.

Natalia Gali was born in Riga, Latvia. She came to the United States to study at Boston University, where she discovered Yengar Yoga. Her commitment to yoga practice deepened in Princeton under the guidance of her Vinyasa teacher John Frank who encouraged her to start teaching. She studied Ashtanga Vinyasa and Classical Astanga Yoga with applied yogic sciences in Mysore, India where she received her Teacher Certification. She credits her Asana teachers Chidananda and John Frank with inspiring her practice, as well as her guru Venkateshiah with providing her with the knowledge of yogic philosophy and an example of living a truly yogic life. She also has experience in Pranayama and Sanskrit Chanting and has explored advanced meditation techniques. Yoga has become a source of inspiration for creating her artwork and a vehicle for transformation in her life. Natalia is looking forward to sharing her love for yoga, her insight and experiences with all those interested to learn. For more information about Natalia visit her website www.nataliagali.com.
