Gingi’s main yoga teacher training with Derek Ireland takes place in a beach hut on Baga Beach, Goa. Three intense practices a day: Gingi is living, eating, dreaming and breathing yoga during the winter of 1995-96. At the end of the training, Derek grants Gingi permission to teach ashtanga yoga and he goes on to apprentice with Derek for the next two years until Derek passes away in 1997.
