DAVID KIM (E-RYT 500) is a Senior YogaWorks and Yin Yoga Teacher Trainer, who leads trainings, workshops, and yoga events all over the world.  A Brown University graduate, David began his career as a New York journalist, and later worked as a Script Analyst for Universal Pictures in Hollywood before embracing full-time yoga teaching.  Mentors Paul & Suzee Grilley inspired David’s YogaWise Yin Yoga trainings, and early trainings with Annie Carpenter, Lisa Walford, Sarah Powers, Ana Forrest, Jill Miller, and Shiva Rea were key influences in his Vinyasa teachings.  David honors his foundational Krishnamacharya-lineage studies -- with the Iyengar family in India (2007), and Ashtanga founder Sri K. Pattabhi Jois during Jois’s American tour (2005) – as he explores yoga’s evolutionary frontiers with anatomy trailblazers Gil Hedley and Tom Myers.  David’s thoughtful, challenging classes employ creative sequencing, precise instruction, and a philosophical attitude informed by his Mindfulness meditation practice.   One of five original teachers for the video-streaming website MyYogaWorks.com, David offers numerous online yoga videos, some of which may be found on YogaVibes.com and the YogaWorks YouTube channel.   David dedicates his teaching to the students and loved ones who inspire and teach him every day.
