Good Day!
If you already have a vision for how we'd join forces, you can forgo what's below and go straight to the COLLABO QUESTIONAIRE. If, on the other hand, you are wondering how we can work together, I have a potential collaboration opportunity I’d like to share that I think YOU'RE GONNA LOVE(!) and it benefits everyone involved in a great way (your students, your studio, you, me, and even the world). But first, we should figure out if our offerings and personalities are the best fit to deliver the most value to attendees and BLOW THEIR MINDS. Let’s see...

Do any of these describe you?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then OUR OFFERINGS ARE A PERFECT MATCH as we’d be teaching participants YOGA ON & OFF THE MAT. Aside from my personal yoga practice on the mat, I teach YOGA BEYOND THE MAT -- specifically, how to chant Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras in their original Sanskrit, along with their word-for-word translations, the overall meanings, and how to apply the principles of YOGA in everyday life (outside the studio and off the mat all the time).
The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali represent the core text expounding the profound practical philosophy of yoga, and my objective is to help people learn it so they can make yoga work for them in all aspects of their lives. Yoga on the mat has benefited those of us who practice regularly so much, it’s time we learned what more yoga has to offer “in addition to” āsana sequences. As teachers and instructors of yoga, WE are in the best positions to broaden people's minds about all that yoga has to offer that will favorably impact the quality of their lives. Let’s face it, we’re in the business of saving lives; if not that, at least we are in the business of helping people’s lives improve. As they say IT’S ALL GOOD and I’M IN IT TO WIN IT!
What “could” OUR WORKSHOP look like?
It could look like a lot of things... but from a very broad view, you, or another yoga teacher, “could” facilitate an invigorating āsana sequence to relax the body and prepare the mind; then I "could" (and would because this is what I do) engage participants in a rich overview and introduction of Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras before teaching them to chant select sūtras, their word-for-word translations, and their overall meanings. We “could” even insert some time for prānāyāma and meditation, do another sequence, and finish the day with some chanting (of the sūtras or otherwise as it fits). The possibilities are endless and we’re only limited by our imaginations!

If you are ready to begin a serious conversation about partnering up, the best way to reach me is by clicking here (or emailing damon@damongivehand.com). For the sake of expediency, it would also be helpful for you to fill out this quick questionnaire regarding some details about your partnership vision. There will be space in the questionnaire to set up a call to discuss further (and we can get to know if our personalities are also the right match...ha!).

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY YOGA BACKGROUND
I’ve been committed to practicing yoga since about 2006, when my wife and I completed our first 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training (in Ashtanga / Vinyasa Flow). Since then, I’ve gone on to complete my 500-hr Teacher Training in Viniyoga (2010 - 2012) which is when I caught the fire for Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras. In the Spring of 2018, I began working on my 1000-hr Yoga Therapy Certification with the Yoga Well Institute under the leadership of its Director Chase Bossart (who studied directly under TKV Desikachar, the son and longtime student of Krishnamacharya - who was the teacher of Pattabhi Jois and Iyengar). If curious, you can learn more about me and my background beyond yoga here.
