According to Daniel Orlansky, there is a creative infinity in constant flow among, through, and with all things. This flow has no beginning or end — it is unity with all. It is the moment before we breathe, and the breath we take. It is the moment after, too. When the breath flows, so does life. The arts of yoga and Qigong can bring us to this feeling of wholeness and peace, to this flow of unity with all there is — they are paths up the same mountain, from which the “one moon” of higher consciousness can be experienced in its full brilliance. Daniel has studied yoga, meditation, and movement practices for over forty years, and has taught since 1992 in Europe and America.

A graduate of the Boston Shiatsu School, he's the originator of Meridian Yoga, which uses yoga postures to open and balance the 14 fundamental meridians of the body. Presently, his classes meld the unique and complementary strengths of yoga and Qigong, creating a unified practice that balances the flow of life force in all its aspects, with breath as the foundation that unites both systems.  

His academic education led to a master's degree in expressive art therapy/dance therapy from Lesley University, and he has been a visiting lecturer in movement studies at Tufts University. Currently, he's the director of Boston University’s yoga teacher training, and leads yoga teacher training and retreats worldwide.
