Daniel is a real movement enthusiast. He has a strong interest in the martial arts, yoga, mountain biking and calisthenics. Daniel was first introduced to yoga by a friend and he immediately felt a strong connection to it. He continued to practice yoga over the years by himself, until he decided to the next step and deepen his own practice. In 2014, Daniel spent some time in Nicaragua where he deepened his practice and studied vinyasa yoga with Kimberly Waugh. Daniel moved to Kuala Lumpur in January 2017 where he started to teach classes, host workshops and help spread the ever-growing Budokon community.
Daniel met Cameron Shayne, the creator of the Budokon mixed movement arts system, in 2015 and was completely taken by the way in which Budokon merges aspects of stand up striking, yoga, calisthenics and animal movement he underwent decided to take his 200 hours Budokon Teacher Training. Daniel particularly enjoys how all of these different ways to move can be combined into a flowing yoga practice. As a teacher, Daniel is known for leading deep, slow and intense practices. It is his philosophy to reach a state of deep mental and physical relaxation through intense practice.
Since becoming certified as Budokon yoga instructor, Daniel’s primary focus has been on teaching this contemporary style of yoga and spreading the Budokon community into new places such as Malaysia and Indonesia. Daniel hopes that every time he teaches in front of a class, he is able to inspire his students to become as passionate about yoga and movement as he is.
