David e. Moreno
David E. Moreno has taught yoga internationally for over thirty years, cultivating a dedicated student body worldwide. His career as a yoga teacher, art director, performing arts journalist, dance critic, and poet has been widely recognized, with features in The New York Times, Esquire, Vanity Fair, and The Advocate.
His commentaries on health and wellness have appeared in Yoga Journal, Yoga International, and LA Yoga Magazine, while his dance criticism and performing arts journalism have appeared in Berkeleyside and CultureVulture.net. Of Moreno’s dance writing, San Francisco Chronicle dance critic Rachel Howard wrote, “Moreno’s a superb writer with a voice that has a natural confidence and connection with the reader. His writing evokes dances so vividly.”
Excerpts and poems from Lamps Without Shades appeared in the Santa Fe Literary Review and Power Telling Magazine, where they were praised for their “unflinching honesty and poetic lyricism.”
David lives on the water in a floating home moored to the “dock of the bay.” When he’s not teaching, he can be found wandering the redwoods with his partner, paddleboarding, browsing local farmers’ markets, or consumed by a museum or dance concert.
