DAVID MAGONE
RESTORATIVE DIRECTOR & VINYASA FACULTY
One of the first non-Tibetan teachers authorized to teach Mangalam Yantra Yoga (a Buddhist Yoga meditation practice dating from the 10th century), David Magone is a master instructor with over twenty years of teaching experience in meditation, yoga, stress inoculation, cold/heat exposure and other 'good stress' methods. Named in Travel + Leisure's Top 25 studios in the world, David has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, NPR, Huffington Post, Gaia TV and more.
Formally trained by Harvard University's Buddhist Chaplain, Tibetan meditation master Khenpo Migmar Tseten Rinpoche (who was trained by the private tutor to the Dalai Lama), David's Buddhist meditation work covers a breadth of terrain. From traditional lineage-based practices to cutting edge experiential retreats, David's stress management courses help students mitigate the harmful effects of chronic stress through controlled exposure to breathwork, cold, heat, forested environments, and yoga. David’s work also teaches students how to harness the powerful forces unleashed by the fight or flight response to accomplish remarkable feats of resilience and endurance. These include safely undertaking ice plunges and nearly-naked winter mountain summits to bare-footed firewalks. Working professionals across America have benefitted from David's stress-inoculation programs that retrain the mind to harness the stressors in our lives in powerful, and productive ways.
