Meet David Magone

Founder of PranaVayu Yoga




Since establishing the PranaVayu style in 2001, David Magone has spent most of his time developing more efficient ways to practice yoga.

David has drawn inspiration from the styles of his two original teachers, Holiday Johnson and Bill Counter. David’s work has also been heavily influenced by Ideokinesis pioneer Mabel Todd, the Periodization theories of Tudor Bompa, the yogic discipline of Yoga 23 founder Andrei Sidersky, and the Tibetan approach to meditation under the guidance of his guru, the venerable Khenpo Lama Migmar Tseten Rinpoche.

Since it’s founding, PranaVayu Yoga has received a number of accolades in the press with mentions in the Wall Street Journal, Self Magazine, Women’s Health and many other publications. In addition to teaching PranaVayu classes, workshops and trainings worldwide, David serves as a faculty member at the Kripalu center for health in Lennox MA and teaches Mangalam Yantra Yoga to qualified students under the guidance of Khenpo Lama Migmar Rinpoche. In 2007, David’s classes were listed in Travel+Leisure’s article on the “Top 25 Studios around the World”.





Hallelujah for the people and places that are keeping our waistlines from blubbering over into morbid-obesity territory. Of course, it helps when your motivation is as flexible, red-hot, and rockhard as David Magone, founder of PranaVayu Yoga. Blending meditation with flowing Vinyasa technique, Magone will sculpt your mind, body, and chakras.

It’s annoying when a toned yogi informs you, as you struggle with a simple pose, that soon you’ll be balancing on your chin. But under David Magone, that’s not only possible, but likely—just look at the limber loyalists in the front row. The 29-year-old has created his own dynamic blend of yoga called PranaVayu, and he gives easy-to-follow instructions that are both practical and inspirational. You’ll be all twisted up in no time.
