Ashtanga Yoga Weekend Workshop Schedule
Integrating Breath and Bandhas in Your Asana Practice
Friday, June 16th, 2017, 6 – 8 pm
In this first session with Tim you will locate your locks and drop into your breath to free your practice. Guruji says: “the Ashtanga practice is a breathing practice – the rest is just bending!” You will establish yourself firmly in the foundations of breath with a clear physical understanding of the use of the bandhas/body locks. You will learn simple pranayama to help your body open, your mind to settle into one-pointed focus and to free your body. Experience how this ancient tradition holds many life lessons.
This workshop is appropriate for all experience levels.
Price: $60 +HST
Guided Primary Series
Saturday, June 17, 2017, 8 – 10 am
Taking base in a traditional Primary Series guided class we will potentially allow for inspired off-springs into technical detail and useful hints to move your practice along, bridging gaps between your body and mind, ensuring an invigorating, injury free and informed practice. Tim’s sincere, down-to-earth and humorous teaching style makes for a fun, focused and reverent sadhana session.
Price: $60 +HST
Inversions, Headstands & Arm Balances
Saturday, June 17, 2017, 1 – 3 pm
In this workshop you will learn practical tools to turn upside down with stability, tranquility and grace. You will gain a thorough understanding of the anatomical patterns at play in your body while inverted. Detailing the shoulder mechanics helps you integrate your arms, spine, rib cage and hip to create a solid platform for accessible and pleasurable inversions whether on your head, hands or elbows.
This workshop is appropriate for all experience levels.
Price: $60 +HST
Mysore Style Class

Build relationship with yourself, your practice and your teacher in this inspiring energy. Honor the Ashtanga Yoga’s living lineage that dates back nearly five thousand years in a unbroken line of teachers, sages and gurus that culminates in the life of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, his son R.

Injury Prevention & Pain – A Yogic Perspective
Sunday, June 18, 2017, 12 – 2 pm
Ashtanga is one of the safest ways to get fit and healthy if approached intelligently. Yet, when we use our bodies actively and strongly we sometimes run into pain, strain and injury. Every physical expression has its own set of potential problem spots and Ashtanga Yoga has such too. In this workshop we take a detailed look at some of the Ashtanga Yoga practice’s classic locations for strain, such as how to keep our knees healthy in Padmasana, shoulders in Chatuari & Urdhva Dhanurasana, hamstrings in forward bending, and more. You will learn how to approach these asanas safely and accurately, how to distinguish between potentially hurting yourself and Patanjali’s proposition of Purifying Pain. This workshop aims at giving you tools to pursue your practice with gusto and joy, understand how discomfort & pain can be a guide in your practice, while staying healthy and safe on your mat.

About Tim Feldmann
Tim Feldmann is the director of Miami Life Center, the yoga shala he founded with his wife Kino MacGregor. He was set on the yoga path by his first teacher Lino Miele and is Authorized to teach directly by the founder of the Ashtanga Yoga Method, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and his grandson, R. Sharath Jois. A practitioner of the Advanced A series Tim is dedicated to Ashtanga Yoga’s traditional method.
“The body offers a wonderful way to our spirit, to our true Self. That’s what asana is for.”
A near fatal falling accident in 1992 led Tim on the yogic path. His teaching integrates extensive studies of F.M. Alexander Technique and sitting meditation with 20 years of experience as a professional dancer and an internationally acclaimed choreographer. His in-depth knowledge of functional anatomy, alignment as well as the idiosyncratic body and mind in stillness and in motion creates the platform upon which his solid understanding of the Ashtanga method rests.
Tim’s humorous, straight forward yet profound teaching style makes him a cherished teacher, traveling extensively throughout Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas.
