Yoga Workshop with Daniel Yokan
Saturday 27th March 2010 - Marino Institute of Education, Dublin
Yoga is freedom. In its sanctuary, I feel at home: I am at peace.
Mind and body concentrated on the practice, the spirit is free to play and rejoice, innocently, in wonderment at life’s awesome beauty and profound mystery.
Yoga found me, integrating and harmonising my abiding practices: Martial Arts (Shotokan Karate), Philosophy (BA Hons), Soto Zen Buddhism and Reflexology. Faith, dedication and devotion blossomed, strung on the thread of mindfulness, commitment and Grace.
I have been blessed with many wonderful teachers: my parents, Ven. F. Taiten Guareschi (Soto Zen Master), Ateeka and Fabrizio Dalle Piane (Systemic Yoga and Tantsu), Shaun Kelly, Roz Peters, Amanda Johnston and David Soeharto (Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga).
I have been privileged to learn from John Scott, Alex Medin, Lino Miele (Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga), John Friend (Anusara Yoga), Swami Anantananda and Swami Krishnadevananda (Sivananda Yoga), Jai Uttal (Kirtan and Bhakti Yoga).
I have also been deepening my understanding of Yoga philosophy, Hindu religion, and especially Buddhism by studying the scriptures, reading books, attending courses, and recently obtaining an MA Buddhist Studies under the guidance of Prof. Peter Harvey from Sunderland University.
Yoga is continuous life transformation. When the body opens, the heart expands and our spirit flows freely, joyfully, in unison with life.
I feel deeply humbled when my students say that I am “a highly focused, knowledgeable, profoundly spiritual, passionate, inspired and inspiring teacher.”
May Yoga find you as it found me.

Mindfulness (Sati) Yoga:
Slowing down - being present
Experiencing together the taste of peace by cultivating awareness of the body and the breath through asana (postures), pranayama (breathing practices) and shikantaza (just sitting quietly), free from the incessant cravings and demands of the mind. Re-discovering how to abide in the fullness of the present moment through mindful - yet playful - attention to movement and stillness.
