His purpose is to help people to develop a sacred, safe, healing, expanding and joyful personal practice.

Danny Paradise has been practising Ashtanga Yoga since 1975 and teaching worldwide since 1979. He initially studied with the first Western teachers of Ashtanga, David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff, and subsequently with Sri Patabbhi Jois. Danny has also studied and practised with yoga teachers and spiritual guides from other lineages and disciplines, including kung fu, tai chi and karate. He has taught all levels of Ashtanga Yoga publicly worldwide for over twenty-six years. His students include yoga teachers, world-renowned artists, musicians, dancers, actors and sports champions.
