Who we are
Many of you guys have been here from the beginning, but for those who are new, here's our story. We met on Instagram 6 years ago through mutual friends and teachers of our yoga training.
Daniele slid into Richard's DMs and we eventually met up at a fitness event in Opio, France.
We practiced yoga and got to know each other every day and by the end of the week we were both sure that we'd like to stay in touch. Both working in worldwide venues, we managed to cross path and a few dates in Thailand, Miami, NYC, Germany and Belgium to name a few.
Post lockdown 2020, Daniele moved to France and never left. We began working together in local classes, virtual classes, men's retreats and of course this Patreon. We got married in July of 2023 and though we're still working on the husband/work-life balance we're somehow figuring it out together!
Thanks to you all for being part of love & yoga journey!
Daniele
Daniele has established a remarkable career as a dancer, acrobat, and aerialist with prestigious companies worldwide, blending his passion for travel with performance for over 10 years.
In 2014, he faced a significant challenge due to a severe knee injury during an esteemed international dance competition, which forced him to slow down his routine. While in London and struggling to regain mobility, he discovered early morning Ashtanga yoga classes, which captivated him and helped restore his knee's flexibility.
Certified in Ashtanga-Vinyasa in Bali in 2018 (E-RYT 200), Daniele furthered his training with multiple trips to NYC, achieving his 500-hour certification in 2023. His deep understanding of anatomy allows him to guide individuals beyond their perceived limits.
Join him at a retreat or in his next virtual class or workshop.
Richard
Richard movement journey began in 2007 while studying Kinesiology in Canada. He spent his youth immersed in fitness, splitting time between the pool and teaching group fitness classes at various gyms. It was during this period that he discovered trendy hot yoga as a means to relax and rejuvenate, eventually falling in love with Ashtanga-Vinyasa.
Over the first ten years of his career, Richard served as a Master Trainer, teaching in 65 countries around the world.
Most recently, Richard has moved to France, embraced fatherhood, and found love with Daniele. Although living in a small town means missing the excitement of travel, teaching yoga online has fostered a sense of support and connection within a wonderful community of men.
The primary goal of Richard as an instructor is to inspire others to embark on their own yoga journeys. For him, yoga represents an opportunity to pause, breathe, and recharge.
And it just keeps getting better!
Together we spend our days teaching classes, planning retreats and creating content!
