In 2024, David approached us about adding an early morning meditation to the Texas Yoga Retreat schedule and of course, we said, “great idea!” When we asked if he would like to hold space for it, he enthusiastically agreed. This marks his second year leading the Saturday and Sunday 5:30–6:45 a.m meditations. Beyond guiding these peaceful morning sessions, David continues to offer thoughtful ideas and suggestions that help to elevate the retreat. We are deeply grateful for his insight, dedication, and presence.
Born and raised in Mexico City, with a professional background in environmental studies, policy, and finance and data science, David lives in Austin. He is married to Michèle, with whom he has two grown children and dear pup buds Roo and Timmy whom he enjoys so much.
David’s yoga journey includes Ashtanga 500 RYT from Del Sol in Austin, with whom he has traveled to northern India and Nicaragua. He also teaches yoga to Silver Sneakers groups in Austin. Trained in Vipassana meditation, he makes this core to his daily yoga practices.
David has been a part of the TYR community as an attendee and a volunteer since 2021, leading meditation for a second year.
