“There is a sense of freshness and relevance to how David Meloni teaches. Unquestionably,  his reverence for Guruji and dedication in practice help me feel connected to BKS Iyengar.

David’s simple, yet potent instructions are the bedrock of his effective teachings.  Without a doubt, this has healed decades old injuries and a systemic issue where I’m now medication-free.  I have learned a tremendous amount from David and continue do so.

  The mastery David has in Asana, Pranayama, therapeutics and the Sutras is truly distinctive. 

I always look forward to my next class!”

“I am a student and CIYT 2. David is a gifted teacher on steroids. I say this with humor but truthful. His level and detail of sequencing is beyond any teacher I have studied with and I have studied with at the senior level. ”

“Studying with David has helped me integrate both the physical and mental aspects of yoga more fully into my practice. For me, this experience has given me a greater understanding of how mental states can impede or expand access to asanas. With his approach and instruction, the inner experience of yoga becomes more profound and leads to a significantly deeper self-study. ”

“Educational. There were a lot of take aways for my own practice. What I liked most was the efficiency, we did yoga almost the entire 2.5 hours each day, no time wasted. Demos were quick and efficient when needed. Instructions were simple and effective and corrections sharp. I hope that you will bring him back regularly.”

“David gives a framework to clearly express the knowledge points and logical structure of yoga practice, and leads students to more deeply experience the physical and mental changes brought by yoga through simple, direct and effective instructions.”

“A five-day intensive with David, like the one I just completed, is an amazing journey into oneself and into the heart of yoga. I'm still feeling its enormous benefits in my body, mind and definitely in my soul. I find myself smiling sometimes for no apparent reason, except for a generalized and deep sense of well-being.

David's teaching is superb - his knowledge and understanding, his deep concentration and focus, his attention and care for his students, and his profound love for Iyengar Yoga and its tradition all make his lessons and workshops extraordinarily valuable.

David is a teacher in the truest sense of the word. His teaching comes not from a place of power or ego, but from a place of authority grounded in many years of dedicated practice and study.

One of the incredibly important effects of this, I found, was that I could simply surrender to David's authority and let go of the grip on my ego ... in this way real learning takes place. A truly wonderful experience!”

“The safe and effective study of Pranayama requires the guidance and direction of an experienced and skilled teacher.   For the past year I have been studying Pranayama with such a teacher, David Meloni... David brings his extraordinary depth of knowledge, profound understanding and personal experiences to his teaching of Yoga.   His explanations, the careful use of props and the sequencing of each class build a firm and steady foundation for students of all abilities to learn and experience the profound benefits of Pranayama.

Through his teachings, David shares the beauty, joy and wisdom that is Yoga. The opportunity to study Pranayama with David is a gift that has transformed my yoga practice.  For this, I will be forever grateful.”
