Dan is attentive , wise and caring .

My mind and body respond to his expertise and humor . Mostly his caring convey is over the top .

I had only the slightest intro to Iyengar yoga when I began to take classes with Dan 2 years ago, and I have learned so much from him. He has taught me so much and through his constant coaching and guidance my practice has brought me strength, balance and helped me through injuries. I will miss my Monday’s with Dan very much.

Knowing Dan over the years has taught me how to become more grounded and the best version of myself. I’ve done a few yoga sessions, especially during the Covid pandemic when I needed to connect with others. Dan is always willing to be there for anyone, and if you become a friend of Dan’s, you become a friend for life.

Well, I’m not a regular of Dan’s. I’ve known him for many many years and I participated in his yoga teaching during the pandemic. He was gentle, phenomenal, wonderful, and motivating. Absolutely love his work.

I teach a different style of yoga. I dropped into Dan’s Monday class. He uses words like arrows. They are very pointed, and they guided me into the asanas in new, specific ways. Dan also tied yoga philosophy into the class in a seamless manner, and his sequencing and linking were brilliant. The man is gifted.

I attended a 3-day social event in Palm Springs this past weekend. Each day started with a 45-minute yoga class, led by Dan. I left each class feeling open and energized. By the end of the weekend, I noticed that there was more fluidity in my joints. I wish I lived in San Diego. I would be Dan’s student. He is gifted.

I attended Dan’s class with a friend and had never experienced an Iyengar yoga class before. I was immediately impressed by the clarity and precision of his instruction. He demonstrated poses I’ve been practicing for years, yet through his guidance and the thoughtful use of props, I was able to find a level of opening and alignment I hadn’t accessed before.

In my usual yoga classes, I often find myself looking at other students to figure out the poses because the teacher doesn’t give detailed directions. Dan’s teaching was completely different. He demonstrated each pose clearly, and his instructions flowed in sync with his movements, making it easy to understand exactly what to do.

I left the class feeling truly enriched by the experience. If I lived in San Diego, I would absolutely become a regular in Dan’s class.

I met Dan in the hospital after having surgery. I was having difficulty getting up from lying gown and seated positions. Dan taught me ways to get up that were different than what I learned in PT and they were tailored to my body and abilities.

Thank you Dan for assisting me reduce my leg pain and help me walk pain free. The time, you spent with me and setting up a personal program for me is beyond what I could have asked. My pain level was a 10 and walking was almost impossible. You looked at how I was walking and knew immedialely what I needed. Your treatment plan has helped me and my continued workout you developed has reduced my pain and improved my ability to walk. THANK YOU DAN, you are the best.

I attended Dan’s class at the San Diego Tennis and Racquet Club and mentioned that I had been struggling with vertigo for several years. To my surprise, he shared that he had experienced vertigo as well and had overcome it through yoga. He invited me to his studio, where he used unique props and guided me through a practice that was, frankly, unlike anything I’d ever encountered. Remarkably, my vertigo began improving that very first day and completely disappeared after just two weeks. I feel like I’ve regained my life, and I’m still amazed that yoga succeeded in curing something a team of doctors at a renowned teaching hospital couldn’t resolve after years of treatment.

As a personal trainer, I had the pleasure of meeting Dan during a social event while he was visiting San Francisco. I casually mentioned some chronic pains I’d been experiencing, and he kindly offered to help. We arranged an appointment where he conducted a thorough assessment, carefully observing my posture and gait. Given that I don’t typically practice yoga at home, Dan resourcefully repurposed household items as yoga props, which was both practical and effective.

Through our session, I discovered that my neck pain—something I’ve struggled with for over four years—stemmed from my overdeveloped chest muscles, which had caused my shoulders to round forward. Dan expertly guided me through releasing the tension in my pectorals and neck, and provided me with exercises to open my chest, strengthen my upper back, and improve the movement of my shoulder blades. He also taught me a healthier posture for sitting while working and driving.

Thanks to Dan, my neck pain is completely gone. I never realized how transformative yoga could be for addressing these kinds of issues. Dan’s expertise has truly made a believer out of me—his work is nothing short of amazing.

I took a class from Dan at the San DIego Tennis and Racquet Club, where I am a member. I had been away from yoga and organized physical activity for years due to vertigo. I explained the situation to Dan before class. He gave me modifications to do for many poses because I cannot do inversions or forward bending. Dan had me stay after class. We talked about my vertigo and Dan had me lie back quickly in various head positions. He then told me the type of vertigo he thought I had and asked if I would be willing to try a fix. We worked together for half an hour and my vertigo went away. This was over two weeks ago and I have not had a recurrence of the vertigo, which had plagued me on a consistent basis for years. I am extremely grateful to this man and can’t sing his praises highly enough. Who else would take half an hour of his time to help someone he had only met once?
