Step into transformation

What others have to say

To have a teacher training with Rusty is an adventure on its own. He challenges you in all kinds of ways that leads to a big learning curve. He travels with you in filling up the room with his positive and inexhaustible energy, it works as an engine for your own practice. When there is a bump in the road he starts to challenge the way you think (...)

Highly recommend taking a training with Rusty, it was an eye opening & life changing experience. Perfect mix of theory, partner work, pranayama, trauma release, asana’s, meditation … I love the new level of body awareness I reached through this training, I feel more at ease, more confident. It gives me trust, energy & freedom. Getting into the body, opening up and allowing the breath to flow is just pure magic! <3

After just finishing the workshop with Rusty Davis, that he offers so brilliantly on fascia release and somatic movement, I literally grew taller! We talk about Embodiment, Rusty helps you just drop into and connect to the systems of the body… The surroundings are beautiful at Swasti Eco Cottages, I am filled with the Nature and Spirit of the land here…

Living here is fast 🏃and spins without slowing🚀 until you retreat to your home. Living in Bali things were so cheap and the motorbikes rule..... Here, it's the opposite, crazy expensive like in NYC living, the speed of life in Bali was at 80-100 kmh on my motorbike but here now it's 30-50kmh on these electric scooters. Unlike Bali, here the cars rule and they pull out or cut off.... But no one reacts, they just roll with it...I get so amazed by the zen here. The west could learn from this, you can't control anything, you just have to keep your eyes open and lead with your heart not your middle finger. You know.....I know!!😆
Word of advice is to just come here with some money. I didn't, I've been living as a traveling Yoga Teacher..... That means.... I work a month here or a weekend there and then vacation and spend all that money. So basically, I've been on vacation for last three year's after leaving Radiantly Alive in Ubud, Bali. It's OK, China serves. More to come later. Keep asking questions please.

Some people have asked me about the students in China and what it's like to live here. So here is a little picture collage and description..... 🎉🎆🎊🎎📢🎶📸📸📸📸
For the studentship..... They are hungry🕯🐎🛫These yogis are new to yoga, they are willing to work hard, feel their bodies and see things as new and they admit....they don't know. This makes the best students to work with, the ones that DON'T think they already know. 🤗🤗🤗
My system Fascia Flow and Fascia Flow Therapy is on a rocket ship🌪🌀🌞
🚀🚀🚀🚀 Out of 30 students..... 28 do NOT know who Iyengar is.🤓....they are new and not tainted by this way and that, I'm not saying Guruji's knowledge shouldn't be here, it can and if you have it... Come give it in China! I'm talking to you the aspiring yoga teacher or the one bored by the same bodies over and over but different faces. How about classes where 30 students and 25 of them can start in splits.... Imagine where you can take them! You should come here and try it. If you have heart and knowledge you will be taken care of and you will have to turn away people wanting to use your talents. My talent agency is BYMB and they are amazing but there are many here. I never knew, i knew of people coming here but they seemed to keep secrets. I'm sorry, that's the western mind that compares and competes.....you are good enough! Just need to take that crazy 10000000 mile journey with that first step. 🤗😁👽💪💜 @prilaga #yogateacherslife #lovelive #traveler #mindfullearning #mindfullnes #mindfulluxury #lovemylife #travels #mindfullifestyle #mindfullliving #prilaga #mindfulliving #mindfullness #mindfullymade #loveyourself #mindfulleadership #yogateacher #traveladdict #mindfulleating #teacher #teachershare #loveme #mindfully #yogateacherstraining

Dream big! You can do it! WE can do it! I've always needed help even though my ego told me the other way. Now i accept help, with help, the masses can be inspired. I'm so grateful for the trust and belief. Here in Nanjing China, Fascia Flow Yoga is flowing.

Movement is song of the body. What song is playing, are you listening and know you can always find a different tune.
The Fascia System is something new and the Chinese are in the third round of yoga circling, so they aren't mentally tampered that this school is right, that school of yoga is right. They are hungry for information and they are smart enough to know that yoga is not another chuturanga....and, they have tensions in their bodies just like yours and mine, but still crazy flexible. I love to observe how energy is stored in the body from different regions of the would. It's fascinating to me as a yoga teacher.
I'm so pleased to find my hOMe here. My family at BYMB has my back with filling up my classes and workshops. I can rest my mind as the speed of life keeps rolling on and UP. Life is an amazing ride your ride is amazing as well.

I wish you happiness today by relaxing around the fascia of your rib cage. Spend a little time to let this area flow with ease not force and a deeper-fuller-joyful breath will be your payback. This is a path way to harness the mind into a state of happiness. You can do it!

For those that don't know, China has blocks on FB, Insta, Whatsapp and all things Google. Apple stuff is loved and freely used with or without a VPN. So sorry for those people asking questions and trying to connect. Yes, I'm still doing a TTC in Ghent Belgium and further USA and Bali.
I've found so much joy here doing both big events and such small intimate events as yoga for the Lymphatic System and then drinking healthy Chinese herb teas. Thanks to all at BYMB for believing in me and restarting my passion for showing yoga as i want and believe it should be. For breath awareness and vitality.

Oh Shanghai with your beautiful lines and grace, every road is new eye candy to me. I want to give a great big shout out to the BYMB crew for such a wonderful venue with a view. "Build Your Mind Body" is an amazing platform for aspiring yoga teachers, check them out. The studentship this weekend I have to say was excellent. Working those fascia lines and looking at the breath out in that humidity.... Wow! I hope to see you all on the mat somewhere in Shanghai or somewhere out there.

Oh China, my second week here and all the emotions that come with so much change and uncertainty. With each day, i become more certain that I am too be here now. So different from other places I've lived but the same in so many ways. It's amazing that we all have the ability to relearn and see through a haze of not knowing the language or directions. Adaptability is our essence within our bodies as well as the mind. We are not stuck and there never is true certainty. Why not go for the ride of change. Breath deep and full for the new mindset to become reality. Today, i signed a three year contract to work with one of China's largest yoga agent firms....BYMB...the west should look into more of these agencies for yoga teachers. I was really scared because of my commitment phobes, but deep in my heart, it's right. I am loved, you are loved!!

I've made a huge change and took a chance, dropped my fears, completely changed my plans and moved to Shanghai China. Here is where i feel I'm going to make a big impact for my platform of yoga I'm serving. Everything fascia, everything functionality and therapeutic and most important.... breath.
Asana..... Making a shape with steadiness and ease then throw in meditation and pranayama (breathing deep and full under load). Come on, you all know that it's truly hard to breath while concentrating and everything that goes with Yoga asana. We move without breath when the breath should move us. China, here i come with an open heart, receptive energy and a mind that's present which has answers to helping stress leave and more joy comes into our lives. What else do we need to make an impact?
Here is a little series of pics and videos of summertime in this vast city but with calm vibes. I'm settling into the French district with trees lining the roads and that "Soho" feeling of NYC. Being next to the sea as you can see from the video of flying into Shanghai, the temps are comfortable. The people very respectful and it's safe! I don't have to worry about my new electric scooter named "Electra" to be tampered with.
I wish you all an amazing day whatever you are and whatever your doing, i wish you success and satisfaction.
