David Jacobs makes annual trips to India and still studies intensively with the world-renowned teachers BKS, Geeta and, Prashant Iyengar in Pune, India.

David Jacobs began his study of the Iyengar method in 1990 and attended the first Intensive in Pune, India in 1994. It was after this Intensive that, (with Mr. Iyengar's approval) he founded the BKS Iyengar Yoga Centre in Cape Town, the first one of its kind in Southern Africa.

He followed up with six subsequent trips to Pune on an annual basis, where he consolidated his understanding of this unique method.

Along with 16 years of personal practice, his teaching style conveys the Iyengar method with authenticity, passion and precision. Methodical in his approach, David establishes a solid foundation for each asana and progressively refines them. His dynamic and challenging style of teaching inspires his students beyond their perceived limits.

David has grown substantially in the past few years and recently has enhanced his studies by attending Intensives with Faeq Biria held in Blacons, France. David just returned from his visit to the Institute in Pune during October 2006. In addition to teaching public and private classes in Cape Town, David teaches yoga seminars throughout South Africa and internationally.
