During his training as a stage dancer, David came in contact with yoga for the first time and was fascinated by the inner strength and calm that he experienced through practice. For about 10 years he sporadically went to yoga classes, mostly when he was mentally or physically not so well. While working as a performer in London, he discovered Jivamukti Yoga. It was the first style that got him on the mat every day and made him develop a steady practice.

In 2015 David completed the 300h Teacher Training and continued with the 800h Jivamukti Teacher Apprentice Program (JTAP) under the supervision of his mentor Anja Kühnel at Jivamukti Berlin. Meanwhile he decided to end his dance career and started studying Osteopathy in 2017. Since October 2018 David is an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher and more recently a mentor in the JTAP program.
