It all begins at the Practice Place in Greece with Derek Ireland

|    Shala Story

It is at the Practice Place in Crete that Gingi fully immerses himself in the ashtanga practice, studying under the inspirational and inimitable Derek Ireland and Radha Warrell. This is a time of challenging practices and the beginning of longstanding friendships with Hamish Hendry, John Scott, Kristina Ireland and Michaela Clarke. During this time Gingi joins the Practice Place team as a full time Tai Chi instructor.
