Teacher: David Swenson

David Swenson began practicing yoga in 1969 at the age of 13. His older brother Doug was his first teacher. They practiced hatha yoga from whatever books they could find.

David's introduction to Ashtanga came in 1973 when he met David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff in Encinitas, California.
In 1975 David and Nancy brought K. Pattabhi Jois to the U.S. for the first time and Swenson was fortunate enough to be there. He then initiated studies directly with the master.

David made his first trip to Mysore in 1977 and learned the full Ashtanga system as it was originally taught by K. Pattabhi Jois. David Swenson is today recognized as one of the worlds foremost practitioners and instructors of Ashtanga Yoga.
