David has been practicing yoga for over 30 years.
He is of Russian descent, the son of a scientist mother and an international artiste/performer father.
In 1990 he moved to Yogoslavia to work as a radio journalist on a non-political radio station, whilst also teaching yoga classes in Belgrade. Circumstances conspired to the point where he found himself caught up in the middle of the Bosnian war.
He is internationally known for his work with Palestinians in the West Bank, and was responsible for bringing together for the first time, both sides of the Middle East conflict for a yoga class in 2006.
