David Ung is a movement educator, community builder, and lifelong student of human potential. For over fourteen years, he has taught yoga, acroyoga, meditation, and partner movement, guiding thousands of students through workshops, retreats, teacher trainings, and community events both locally and internationally.

His work is rooted in a simple belief: every experience along the path serves a purpose. Through decades of exploration in movement, mindfulness, leadership, and personal development, David has cultivated a unique ability to weave seemingly different disciplines into a cohesive and holistic approach to growth.

David’s journey began in martial arts through Taekwondo and expanded into a wide range of athletic pursuits including wrestling, volleyball, tennis, badminton, baseball, and countless other forms of movement. Alongside physical training, he immersed himself in contemplative practices, completing multiple Vipassana meditation retreats and facilitating one himself. These experiences shaped his understanding that mastery is not found in any single discipline, but in the integration of many.

This philosophy is reflected in his two primary creations: Ashtanga Remix and the IAM Movement.

Ashtanga Remix honors the structure and discipline of the traditional Ashtanga system while embracing creativity, play, arm balances, handstands, and modern music. It invites practitioners to discover that connection to source is not limited to silence or stillness. Rather, source is always present, waiting to be recognized through movement, expression, challenge, and joy.

The IAM Movement represents the culmination of David’s life’s work. It is a progressive partner movement system that uses Icarian pops and partner acrobatics as vehicles for developing trust, communication, leadership, and community. Through structured progressions, playful exploration, and shared experiences, participants learn not only how to move with greater skill and confidence, but how to support the growth and awakening of others.

More than a curriculum, IAM is David’s vision for a movement of interconnected individuals who learn, grow, and rise together. It is an invitation to build meaningful relationships, cultivate embodied leadership, and discover what becomes possible when personal transformation and collective evolution are pursued side by side.
