My Offerings

Slow down. Breathe deeper. Be present. Let go. Timothy's 35+ years of practice and teaching distill into techniques that reset the nervous system and create a blissed-out collective experience. Every offering is unique and adapted to who shows up.

Yoga Classes

Not your average flow class. Breathwork, options and modifications, and cueing clear enough to follow with your eyes closed. You'll be challenged just enough to still be successful. You'll leave feeling calm yet energized.

What Students Say

I found Timothy's introduction to each session to be very meaningful, as he tied the practice to both ancient narratives and modern experience. Most helpful were his clear guides to both new and familiar poses, and his adjustments to achieve better and easier alignment.

You're a great instructor! I also appreciate the individual attention you show us during class; by setting us up properly when we're out of alignment and by helping each of us relax at the end of class.

Timothy is a kind, compassionate and "real" person. He is accessible, generous. Rooted and buoyant at the same time. He possesses a wonderful combination of serious and centered, with a genuinely integrative practice, and is authentic, thoughtful and playful.

I've had a number of physical challenges, and yet have never injured myself in Timothy's class. Timothy's approach is always gentle and systematic. By the end of class I am always incredibly relaxed and sleep like a log.

Tim's classes are just the right mix of challenge, meditative movement and instruction. I appreciate the way Tim models the poses and then walks around the room helping everyone with correct alignment.
