squam by the sea - october 20-24, 2010
Some dreams take a bit of time (and a bit of doing) to bring into being, but when they finally appear they make all the waiting worthwhile. squam by the sea is just such a dream.
It first began several years ago as a wishful, blue moon, pie in the sky conversation between Elizabeth and Michelle. It rooted itself on the beach in Nags Head last June when Elizabeth journeyed to the seaside town Michelle calls home. Then, as dreams tend to do, it took a strong hold on both their hearts over the fall. Next, as destiny would have it, they joined their vision with one that McCabe had long held for a bewitching beach gathering. Jen and Sarah jumped in and lo and behold, they had yoga, mixed media, writing and mermaid magic all weaving together in one of the most beautiful places on the East Coast: North Carolina's Outer Banks. read more...

About David
David Williams has been practicing Yoga daily, without interruption, since 1971. In 1972, David met K. P. Manju , the son of K. Pattabhi Jois, and saw Manju demonstrate the Ashtanga Yoga 1st series. This was at Dr. Swami Gitananda's Ananda Ashram in Pondicherry, South India, where David received his 6 month Yoga teachers training course certification. In 1973, David began studying Ashtanga Yoga with K. Pattabhi Jois at his home in Mysore, India, and became the first non-Indian to be taught the complete Ashtanga Yoga system of asanas and pranayama directly from Jois.
David introduced K. Pattabhi Jois and Manju to America and the western world when he, along with Nancy Gilgoff, organized and sponsored their first visit to Encinitas, California, in 1975. David is responsible for teaching the Ashtanga Yoga system to many of today's leading teachers and practitioners, including David Swenson, Doug Swenson, Danny Paradise, Bryan Kest, Jonny Kest, Tracy Rich, Chuck Miller, and Maty Ezraty. David is 60 years old. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has lived on the island of Maui, Hawaii, since l975, and teaches private individual or group classes by appointment.
