This powerful and transformative Assisting School is designed for both practitioners and teachers who wish to deepen their understanding of yoga, practice, alignment, and the art of hands-on guidance.

In-person at Miami Life Center
Over the course of ten afternoon sessions, we will focus on the foundations of practice - asana, anatomy, technique, and alignment for the majority of postures in the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series. Tim and Kino weave these technical elements together with philosophy, lineage, and lived experience so students can begin to see yoga not just as physical practice, but as a genuine path of spiritual transformation.
Assisting in the traditional Ashtanga method is far more than correcting a posture. At its best, it becomes a healing art - an intimate space where body, mind, and spirit meet in yogic union. Through careful analysis of technique, tradition, and communication, you will discover how to give effective and respectful adjustments that honor both student and lineage.
While words and demonstration can inspire, the body often learns most deeply through touch. This course will help you develop your kinesthetic intelligence so that your hands speak the honest language of the body. You will learn how to maximize your effectiveness as a teacher and how to open yourself as a student to receive.
Together, we will explore what it means to hold space for another’s spiritual journey, to guide with humility, and to allow each student’s body to reveal its own wisdom.
What to expect:
Develop your kinesthetic intelligence to unlock the magic of hands-on assists and speak the honest language of the body.
Maximize your effectiveness as a teacher and learn how to receive as a student.
Learn how to hold space for the students’ spiritual journey and allow their bodies to be the guide.
Yoga poses will be organized by themes in order to create an intuitive atmosphere of exploration and study.

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.
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.
