ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS:

Daniel Fonseca

Daniel Fonseca was an adept of Martial Arts and Artistic Gymnastics, which helped him to build up physical strength, agility, sense of coordination and balance at very young age. He started performing yoga techniques spontaneously during his teenage years and eventually was introduced to the precise Hatha Yoga system and also the fluid Vinyasa Style. When he found that yoga was more than just physical exercise, he started studying the Ancient Philosophy of Yoga while still in Brazil, his homeland. He spent a few years in Europe and after a long pilgrimage throughout Northern Spain in 2005 he made his way to India where he is living since 2006. Daniel has a graduation degree in Tourism. He is married to Jeenal Mehta Fonseca and together they have founded the Wise Living Yoga Academy.
