Daniel Shuman is a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher and Functional Range Systems Movement Specialist based in New York City.

His teaching is grounded in the precision of the Iyengar method and informed by structured joint conditioning principles from Functional Range Systems. He works carefully at the level of the hips, shoulders, and spine to help students build usable range of motion, strength, and control within traditional postures.

Rather than treating yoga as a performance of flexibility or intensity, Daniel guides students to examine how they are organizing themselves in each pose — where effort is productive, where it is excessive, and how small refinements can change long-standing patterns.

His work emphasizes the development of independent practitioners: students who can assess their own alignment, regulate their effort, and adapt their practice intelligently as their bodies and lives evolve.

Known for his steady presence and attentive work within the group setting, Daniel meets individuals where they are while maintaining clarity for the whole room. Technical rigor and genuine support coexist in his classes.

He teaches regularly in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and online, and leads annual retreats in the Catskills.
