Pattabhi Jois, and his grandson, Sharath Rangaswami. He was set on the yoga path by his teacher Lino Miele. A practioner of the third series he is dedicated to Ashtanga Yogas traditional style. Tim is of the firm belief that the regular practice of Ashtanga yoga is the true teaching/teacher. His teaching integrates extensive study of 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 emphazisizes the Ashtanga basics – breathing, bandhas and gaze – as the primary means to help students connect with their own practice and inner truth. Tim is a cherished teacher giving workshops, classes and privates throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas, often together with his love Kino. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/1597329283910-WOCJS979H1N16VNS6U9U/Kino-58-Edit.jpg Ashtanga Teachers - KINO MACGREGOR Kino MacGregor and her husband Tim Feldmann are the owners and founders of Miami Life Center.

Kino has created four Ashtanga Yoga DVDs and has published three books. Her clothing line Om Stars launched in 2016. She is one of a select few people to receive the Certification to teach Ashtanga Yoga by its founder Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India.

Kino is dedicated to sharing the amazing tradition of Ashtanga Yoga with its growing number of practitioners.

He teaches yoga with feet planted firmly in tradition and gaze turned towards 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 teachers Tim Feldmann and Kino MacGregor. In 2016 he completed 2 months of study in Mysore under Sharath Jois. 2017 brought Joseph to Guatemala where he taught Mysore Style for over a year while also traveling and giving workshops in Europe and the Americas. 2019 brought him back to Miami and his yoga family at MLC. 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/1597329364999-IG0FYGSJ07IFLK2KL3G6/Workshops-153.JPG Ashtanga Teachers - EDDY RIVERO Eddy Rivero is an Authorized Level I Ashtanga Yoga teacher. He has practiced with the living Guru of Ashtanga yoga, R. Sharath Jois and says “I love and respect all of my teachers back home dearly, but no training can compare to going to the source of the lineage and experiencing the practice in its purest form.” Eddy has been to KPJAYI three times to practice with Sharath, and was authorized in 2016. Eddy teaches the evening Mysore program at MLC. He firmly believes that in order for the practice to take full effect, the student must cultivate a balance between “focused effort”(Tapas) and the “discriminative wisdom”(Viveka Khyatih) to know when to surrender. Come discover Eddy’s gentle teaching style weekday evenings and Sunday mornings at MLC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/ff0bc50b-adfa-4d65-9af4-8865b967745b/_MG_4424.jpg Ashtanga Teachers - ESMERALDA LAMAS Esmeralda Lamas is an Authorized level 2 teacher and devoted practitioner of the Ashtanga Yoga Method. Esme believes yoga is the best tool to overcome any obstacle that we may face in life. Esme started to practice yoga in 2008 but it was three years after when she immersed herself in the study of the Ashtanga Yoga method. Shortly after, she traveled for the first time to Mysore, India to study with R Saraswati Jois. In 2016, Esme went back to Mysore to study under the guidance of Sri. R Sharath Jois at SYC and dived in the study of traditional yoga philosophy and chanting with Dr. M.A.Jayashree and Sri. M.A.Narasimhan. Since then, Esme has travel to Mysore several times to connect with the lineage in an authentic and pure way; to find inspiration and to continue walking the path as a student. In 2022, she received the formal blessing to teach from Sri. R Sharath Jois. She finds yoga to be a beautiful gift which deserves to be shared with others in order to make this world a better place to live in. Esme teaches with passion and love guiding her students with kindness and precise adjustments that help those who want to improve their physical, emotional and spiritual practice. She is a firm believer in dedication and effort and during her classes she pays special attention to the breath, the movement and the gaze. These three components allow the mind to be focused in the present moment, help the body to be grounded and create internal space for a spiritual journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/8c7ad205-c1d2-488d-9c29-8663b67413f8/IMG_4574.jpg Ashtanga Teachers - SILVANA LOIS When she took her first yoga lesson in 2011, she unknowingly stepped into a practice that would further develop her inner awareness and strength. Yoga soon offered her contentment and a more positive outlook on life. She began as a student of Loren Russo and holds a 200-hour Teacher Training course in power yoga by Paul Toliuzis. She then became a devoted practitioner of Ashtanga Yoga soon after walking through the doors of MLC. As her journey with yoga continues 14 years later, Silvana has adopted an approachable teaching method that is deeply grounded on the importance of breathwork and conscious movement. She completed MLC’s 2-Year apprenticeship under the guidance of Kino Macgregor and Tim Feldmann. In 2019, Silvana spent one month in Mysore, India practicing under the guidance of Sharat Jois and then traveled to Colorado shortly afterwards for a 10-day intensive Vipassana retreat. From then, it was clear to Silvana that yoga has something to offer both inside and outside of the studio. The more Silvana learned, the more she wanted to teach. She hopes her unique perspective to yoga helps guide her students through their practice and individual yoga journeys. Her practice dives into interconnectedness, compassion, and peace. In 2023 she went back to Mysore, India for a second time to practice during two months under the guidance of Sharath Jois . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/74689db5-f706-4e8f-827c-99cb87a3f6d4/a641341a-b865-4758-a47b-8a782d9f1b04.jpg Ashtanga Teachers - PAIGE MORENCY Paige Morency began her yoga practice while cross-training for the Marine Corps Marathon over 15 years ago, and has been practicing daily ever since. She soon found that yoga brings life into balance; it energizes, while grounding; it strengthens, while limbering; it empowers, while humbling; it is external, yet every bit internal. She has studied with Sharath Jois, Kino MacGregor, Tim Feldmann, Dena Kingsberg, David Robson, Jelena Vesic, Pedro Rubio, Maryl Baldridge, Jen Rene, & Michael Joel Hall (Ashtanga), David Kyle (Rocket), and Mimi Rieger (Power Vinyasa). She's been a daily Mysore-Style Ashtanga practitioner and teacher for over a decade, channeling many of the lessons learned on her mat while teaching. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/1597329510584-9ETG43M4965LKZOIJCMN/untitled-116.JPG Ashtanga Teachers - MONICA ARELLANO Monica Arellano is a Level 2 Authorized teacher in the Ashtanga Yoga Method; a formal blessing received by her teacher R. Sharath Jois in Mysore, India. She first connected with the practice of yoga in 2010, looking for a more peaceful way of being. When she found her way to Miami Life Center in 2014 she began a regular Ashtanga Yoga practice and soon after completed a 2 year apprenticeship program under Tim Feldmann. Today she continues to practice, teach and travel regularly to Mysore, India to learn yoga directly from the source. Monica’s teachings are informed by the knowledge carried on from her teachers and the first-hand experience from her daily asana and meditation practice. Her classes emphasize the breath, alignment, and methods of concentration; in hopes of exploring the deeper intention of Asana and the resulting expression in each student’s unique and mind. In this space, she believes we can deconstruct unhealthy patterns, facilitate healing on many levels, and find our way back to the most honest version of ourselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/b08c7a3f-60a9-4996-8656-df0f0bbeac41/IMG_5597.jpg Ashtanga Teachers EDITA TOSMUK Edita Tosmuk has over 500+ hours of certified dynamic ashtanga yoga training under her belt. Edita also participated in a two-year apprenticeship with Tim Feldman at Miami Life Center, where he shared his knowledge of both the anatomical and philosophical aspects of Yoga Nidra. As a result of her consistent commitment to Mysore practice over a period of eight years, she is now sharing her knowledge of Pranayama, Meditation, and anatomy with a large number of devoted students. Edita's teaching style emphasizes body awareness while overcoming any physical obstacles a student may face. She believes that Mysore can be accessible to anyone, no matter their physical deposition. Edita uses her advanced knowledge of Yogic Principles to share with all of her students; she employs detailed adjustments that are both practical and informative for students at all levels of practice. In addition to creating a bridge between physical accessibility and traditional Mysore, Edita aims to be patient and welcoming to all of her students. Despite this, she will challenge her students to overcome any perceived limitations they may have in their physical and mental abilities. https://miamilifecenter.com/classes daily 0.75 2021-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/1589919917664-9DIZU7II97FATA764QL6/c700x420.jpg Mysore Style - To book this class go to our: Schedule A personal and intimate path to cultivating Yoga within.

I needed to find internal and physical healing. I spent a lot of time in and out of doctor’s offices only to leave feeling the same with no real solution to my ailments. Although I began practicing yoga in 2009, it was not until 2012 when I decided to commit to a daily practice. The changes my body began to experience were unreal. I felt alive again. There was a shift in my approach to obstacles and growth in my spiritual life. I learned that the baggage we carry with us does not define us nor does it mean we cannot let that baggage go. The more I practiced the more I wanted to share my healing with others. I wanted to serve our community in a different capacity now. I wanted to share the gift of healing through yoga. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/1593281162578-UINSX0XN137FURHA5ZX2/image-asset.jpeg Veteran Programs One lesson that stood out to me the most was through my daily MySore practice. I recall Tim gently placing his hands over my shoulders without saying anything. At that moment, I felt him telling me it was ok to relax, that I did not need to be on high alert. Being on alert and being the best version of ourselves is something that we learn in the military. However, the practice teaches us awareness and to be gentle while still striving to be the best version of ourselves. It teaches us that it is not necessary to be stiff, stern or aggressive. The practice teaches us to breathe again and to live life. By learning to live again, I am able to give back. The Ashtanga Intensive at the Miami Life Center was transformative on so many levels. There were times I wanted to cry and times I pushed to be in perfect form. There were moments of spiritual growth but the practice always remained the same. What was changing was my physical body, my mental emotional health. Along with that change, was my spiritual growth. If there was one thing I could leave with anyone, is that yoga will teach you how to breathe again so you can learn to live your life again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/1593281262926-NZ3H8NQPMVWYHAEKK5BD/Khandahar-05-300x225.jpg Veteran Programs - Life after the Miami Life Center Since my training, I have taught over 316 hours of yoga. Although my training was in Ashtanga, I have also taught other disciplines such as Vinyasa Yoga, Beginners Yoga, Intermediate, Hatha Yoga, Kids Yoga and Slow Flow Yoga. I have also received training to teach yoga to veterans their family and caretakers through Warriors for Healing. I have had the pleasure of sharing the gift of yoga to children of veterans, to Team Red White and Blue (Enrich veterans lives and unite veterans with their community), and through community classes at One Heart Yoga. https://miamilifecenter.com/moon-days daily 0.75 2026-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/1593524486481-DYJ13ONNHBBVUBI9IUOQ/9a9cf097a2b1f98ff38b357b5edd0986.jpg Moon Days In India, where yoga comes from, the term ‘moon day’ is a loose translation of the Sanskrit term ‘tithi,’ and would be more accurately translated as ‘lunar phase’ rather than ‘moon day.’ Each tithi is the time period that it takes for the the moon to traverse 12° in the sky. Thus there are 30 tithis (or lunar phases) in one complete lunar cycle. Due in part to the elliptical path of the moons orbit, the length of each tithi varies significantly and begins at varying times of day. Tithis vary in duration from approximately 19 to 26 hours. What loosely gets termed the full and new ‘moon days’ are actually the 15th and the 30th tithis of this Indian Astrology (Jyotish) system. -Andrew Hillam https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/66d0d50a-774f-4e80-88b7-2e7e2da1a875/Screen+Shot+2026-01-02+at+4.24.02+PM.png Moon Days - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://miamilifecenter.com/ashtanga daily 0.75 2021-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/1597328489579-4CAHIMZIORH5ISMH5UZX/b5af4uy9.jpg Ashtanga “Ashtanga literally means eight limbs.

This is a space to turn inwards and flow through a sequence that explores flexibility, strength, and a calmer mind; all while maintaining the foundational elements that make Ashtanga Yoga – Yoga. A practice of placing the body and breath in a particular way (vinyasa) with the intention of finding balance from the inside out.

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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/2a7307a0-0d4d-42b0-bf5f-cf6f90d82183/Screen+Shot+2024-11-11+at+12.38.49+PM.jpg Vinyasa Teachers - SHANNON SOLLARS Shannon’s journey starts with a strong movement background in ballet and modern dance since she was 6 years old. She graduated high school at University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Contemporary Dance, then moved to New York to continue her pre professional dance training at the Ailey School. From there she moved to Montreal, Canada to learn aerial hoop and contortion, and debuted an acrobatic dance routine that she performed in various cities in the United States. After the birth of her first child, she suffered a career ending injury that ultimately led her to yoga. Shannon came to yoga through her first pregnancy, working 1 on 1 with a prenatal instructor, mainly doing breathwork and meditation. In 2019, she enrolled in a 200 hr immersion at Abhaya Yoga in Brooklyn, where she learned to teach vinyasa and restorative yoga, as well as completing an additional 50 hours on Aerial Mukti Yoga, and thus taught various yoga classes for the next year at the studio. She was inspired by her teacher, Tara Glazier, with a deep devotion for yoga, and studied texts such as The Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita for the first time, and also tantric texts and stories of the Devas. For Shannon, this period of study fueled a passion and an unbreakable bond with yoga. In 2020 Shannon moved to an idyllic paradise in the Bahamas and taught a free community class for island locals. On a trip to Miami, she took her first Led Primary with Kino McGregor at the newly opened Miami Yoga Garage. Inspired by the conference, she began practicing Ashtanga, using OMstars for inspiration and guidance, and even bringing a teacher who would travel to the remote island to give mysore-style assists. In 2023 she moved to Miami and settled in Coconut Grove with her two children. She was accepted in the 2024 Ashtanga Practitioners Intensive at Miami Life Center and completed the 300 hour program. Shannon is thrilled to be teaching and practicing with so many inspiring teachers at Miami Life Center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3f48699dedd7547fa3d84/a3570593-77ff-4fc8-a26c-efb984a20546/henner_sideangle.png Vinyasa Teachers - HENNER ESPINOZA A native South Floridian, Henner has spent decades refining his movement practice through yoga, strength training, calisthenics, and self-myofascial release.
