First time here? Hello from Dave

My New Book:

Yeah Dave's Guide to Livin' the Moment

Do you remember what you did a week ago Tuesday? What about 3 weeks ago Wednesday? Life is becoming a big blur. What good is a day where you answer all your voicemails, and respond to all your emails, and check off all your to-do's... if you fail to have one moment of pleasure? My book shares fun, funny, irreverent stories from my ten years as a yoga teacher on the "spiritual path." No this is not a yoga book, but rather a guide to inspiration, faith, and love... mixed with drugs, sex, and rock n' roll. Think Deepak Chopra meets Cheech and Chong. Think livin' the good life is livin' the moment. Learn more >

Chocolate: Gateway to the Moment

If you find sitting meditation or 90 minutes of yoga to be impossible, consider a bite of a buttermilk-banana pudding chocolate truffle as your key to unlocking the treasures of the present moment. Yoga+Chocolate Workshops

Wine: Gateway to the Moment

"Embraced mindfully, a glass of Grillo or Nero d'Avola presents an oh-so exotic gateway to the Now. Learn to embrace wine as a ritual. To every bottle is a story, to every sip... an experience." Yoga+Wine Workshops

My 2010 Teacher Training/Student Intensive Program

This is the program for the student with an appetite for yoga's 5,000 year old tradition...not to mention exotic chocolate, fine wine, and good tunes! Two 10-day segments set in the beautiful beachside community of Santa Monica, CA. Teacher Training

There’s this great outdoor café in Santa Monica called Urth Café. It’s kind of pricey so on Tuesdays and Fridays (when I’m in town), I’ll pack a lunch and enjoy it in Urth Café’s sun-drenched [...]

Posted by yeahdave at 19 June, 2009, 10:19 am

While walking around in Santa Monica the other morning, I saw a “Missing Pet” sign on the Whole Foods bulletin board. I walked closer expecting to see an image of a missing Shih Tsu or possibly a labradoodle. Surprisingly, it was not a cat or a dog but rather a gerbil that went missing.  The [...]
