David is returning to the Riviera Maya to teach his world famous Yoga Anatomy Course. The weekend is designed for the students of Gannon’s GAVY Teacher Apprenticeship, and some extra spaces are available for practitioners outside of the training.

If you practice yoga, this will change the way you understand your practice.
And if you teach yoga, you MUST attend this course!
