bullethttp://www.ashtanga.net/default.asp
bulletDavid's introduction to Ashtanga came in 1973 when he met David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff in Encinitas, California.
bulletIn 1975 David and Nancy brought K. Pattabhi Jois to the U.S. for the first time and Swenson was fortunate enough to be there.
bulletHe then initiated studies directly with the master. Swenson made his first trip to Mysore in 1977 and learned the full Ashtanga system as it was originally taught by K. Pattabhi Jois.
bulletBeryl Bender Birch

bulletBeryl coined the phrase Power Yoga {along with Bryan Kest on the West Coast} in 1989 to give her increasingly popular Ashtanga classes a name that westerners could "relate to".
bulletShe has been a formal student of yoga since 1971 and has been teaching yoga since 1974, where she began in Winter Park, Colorado with "Yoga for Skiers"
