David Keil

David Keil was introduced to yoga in 1989 by his Tai Chi Chuan teacher. Both the Tai Chi and Yoga practice at the ripe age of 17 began his research into his own mind-body connections. As an instructor of Kinesiology (the study of movement and musculoskelatal anatomy) at Miami's Educating Hands School of Massage, David had developed a fun, informal and informative style of teaching. Because of his passion and desire to share the human body with everyone, he delivers this complex and sometimes frustrating topic in a way that is very accessible and understandable to yoga practitioners.

A Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Neuromuscular Therapist, David has taught seminars in Body Mechanics for Massage Therapists and has also worked with other local and national audiences. David's current personal yoga practice is Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Since 2002 he has had the honor of studying with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois as well as with John Scott.

tazmommie 2010-01-19 13:31:59 I found this video very informative. However, I would like to share that I had flat feet for 35 years, I wore orthotics starting when I was thirteen and through yoga, the Alexander Technique and physical therapy I am without orthotics and with arches. It is very possible to "fix" flat feet even if you've had them since childhood and had no injury which preempted the arches falling. It requires a lot of awareness,strengthening and stretching but it is possible to change movement patterns in your body that create structural misalignment.
