Miami Life Center Ashtanga Yoga Retreat

Katy finds the blurred lines between tradition and modernity fascinating, scary, provocative and transformational. An Ashtanga at heart she finds comfort and support within the traditions of the practice, completing 3 months of study in Mysore under Sharath Jois. When it comes to breathwork and pranayama it’s a different story. After years of traditional practice she shook things up and dove head first into the world of breathwork where she experienced the life altering power of breath!
Bending in tradition, modern science and dynamic breathwork practices she offers a space for all students to go all in, go deep all whilst being supported on the breathwork journey.
Katy believes there is a beauty of combining the tradition with the modern to create a practice that serves you so you can serve others. A dedicated practitioner, teacher, business owner, mama and wife she understands the true meaning of flexibility and likes to share the lessons she has learnt to all willing to try.

Edgar Navarro is the Director of Miami Life Center, a dedicated Ashtanga practitioner and teacher whose path has been shaped by years of study under some of the most respected names in modern yoga.
A direct student of Paramaguru Sharath Jois, Edgar’s teaching is rooted in the traditional Ashtanga method as it continues to be transmitted from Mysore, India. He has also studied extensively under Tim Feldmann and Kino MacGregor, whose mentorship helped refine both his personal practice and his approach to sharing the method with others.
With a deep commitment to the breath as the bridge between body and mind, Edgar has studied Pranayama for many years under the guidance of Mark Linksman—a long-time student of Tim Miller. This subtle yet powerful practice informs much of his teaching, offering students tools to deepen awareness, balance the nervous system, and access inner stillness.
Complementing his strong foundation in Ashtanga, Edgar is also trained in Yin Yoga under Jo Phee, a senior student of Paul Grilley. His Yin classes offer a meditative counterpoint to the dynamic structure of Ashtanga, inviting students into deep release and introspection through long-held, supported postures.Whether teaching Mysore, led classes, pranayama, or Yin, Edgar's approach is attentive, grounded, and inspired by the living tradition of yoga. He holds space for students to move inward, refine their awareness, and cultivate a steady, sustainable practice,on and off the mat.

Joseph Armstrong teaches yoga rooted firmly in tradition but with an eye to the future. His search for a more present and peaceful life first led him to the practice in 2008. A few years later he was in India studying intensively.
After finally overcoming a long struggle with addiction, Joseph began experimenting with Ashtanga Yoga. He understood quickly that the lineage was calling to him to deepen his practice. He underwent a 2 year apprenticeship program at the world renowned Miami Life Center, continuing his education under his dear teachers Tim Fieldman and Kino MacGregor.
He also practices regularly with Paramaguru Sharath Jois in Mysore India, where he was given his level 2 authorization. Joseph teaches yoga because attempts to do any and everything else ended disastrously. But when he finally devoted himself to his passion, he became an asset to himself and others. He hopes his practice allows him to be ever more loving and to exist gently.
