“I started practicing at Miami Life Center roughly 11 years ago. I can’t say enough about what a sacred and special place it is, or the teachers who create & hold the space with their passionate dedication, individualized care, knowledge & wisdom of yoga... it’s truly a gem, and will always be my yoga home. Can’t recommend it enough!”

— Katherine Borse

“Hands-down the best yoga studio ever! The most knowledgeable, kind teachers and community who are TRUE yogis. I fell in love with MLC the moment I walked in the door. It’s unlike any other studio in the world!”

— Barri DeFrancisci

“Miami Life Center has been a huge blessing. I've done sports all my life and other type of Yoga (more for stretching and relaxation). I never thought that I would be able to combine strong workout with spirituality. Build my strength, cure old injuries, develop a steady practice, get ancient wisdom and feel a sense of community all in just one place.

Miami Life Center introduced me to Ashtanga Yoga and I will always be grateful for it. I was lucky to get myself where most of the pro teachers do their personal practices...and that says a lot about this amazing place.”

— Bruce Barkus

“I feel so welcomed and so at peace every time I enter the facilities its like a home. Amazing teachers always there for you and making one feel comfortable and made me love ashtanga yoga as much as they do so. I recommend it 100 percent if you really want to learn ashtanga”

“I have never written a yelp review before but this experience was so invaluable to me that I wanted to take the time to let others know about Miami Life Center and their impeccable services and outstanding trainings!! I am someone who usually thoroughly investigates trainings or any services prior to attending, so that I am using my time wisely and going to the BEST! This is what you receive at MLC, the BEST!

I attended their Ashtanga Intensive in July and I was thoroughly impressed and as I stated prior, it was an invaluable experience for me. Being that I am an older client, I wanted to make sure that I was in a safe and educated environment. Tim Feldman and Kino MacGregor and their staff are so highly educated and knowledgeable! I received safe and appropriate adjustments and encouragement and direction where necessary from highly experienced teachers. The training allowed me to grow, transform and experience an extraordinary yoga community. They were able to work with a broad range of experience and create growth, community and knowledge within the training community. The outside speakers that are brought in have such strong theoretical and practical understanding of the subjects presented and they are not only there for the presentations but are also available for questions and outside consultations. I felt that I was completely taken care of inside and outside of the training with the resources provided to us and a benefit to the training was the high level of comfort I felt throughout the training. This training is the real deal!

A bonus to the training is the kind and gentle approach from Tim and Kino and the staff at MLC. When you attend this training you are receiving years of experience and dedication from committed practitioners who are there to share their passion and knowledge with you. I cannot recommend their trainings enough or the studio! I hope that you will find the experience the same and enjoy the transformation that comes with practice and training at MLC!”

“As a student ad practitioner at Miami Life Center, I can honestly say I have never felt more cared for in my practice. I feel motivated and safe under the guidance of all of their teachers.They definitely raise the bar.”

— Sabe Mazzi

“MLC is one of the very best place to learn Ashtanga yoga outside India. All the teachers there are so passionate about Ashtanga lineage, and most of all care about each and every one of the students they come across. Wonderful, friendly vibe throughout. Definitely come to this place and experience Miami magic”

— Mika O’Toole

“One of the best Ashtanga Shala's around. All of the teachers are exceptional, kind and attentive. Whenever I am visiting from out of town I am sure to visit. Tim, Emilia, Eddy, to name a few, are exceptionally knowledgable and welcoming.”

— Vivian Turajlic

“So, I have been practicing Ashtanga yoga for almost twenty years and can honestly say MLC is the best Ashtanga yoga studio in Miami, hands down. Every teacher I have practiced with at MLC is kind, knowledgeable, respectful, and careful in their adjustments. They are happy to answer questions and always respectful of each student's individual experience level. The bathroom's are clean and there's even a shower that you can use after to wash up after practice so you can go straight to work or wherever else you need to go. The other practitioners range from beginners, too advanced, to old timers who have been practicing for decades and have started giving poses back. It's a beautiful place to practice. Highly recommended.”

— Jonathan Bakalarz

“Miami Life Center is world-renowned because the teachers and staff are world-class. They have knowledge based on many years of direct and practical experience with yoga. I don't live in Miami, but like many others from around the world, I've made several extended trips from out of state to practice at Miami Life Center over the past few years: for the month-long Ashtanga Intensive in Jul. 2016, for a week-long workshop with Tim in Dec. 2017, and most recently to practice Mysore-style daily for a week with Alexandra in Jan. 2019, as my husband was running the Jan. 2019 Miami Marathon. In my time at Miami Life Center, I'm fortunate to have gotten to practice a fair amount with Tim, Kino, Alexandra, Joseph, and Eddy. I attribute my health and happiness in part to practices I've implemented in my life that I've learned from these teachers. They are inspirational both on and off the mat and always make me feel welcome. They are advanced practitioners who can teach absolute beginners and advanced yogis alike, and so I recommend Miami Life Center to anyone, from someone who has never practiced yoga before to advanced practitioners.”

— Rachel Dyer

“Here lies a hidden sanctuary in the midst of bustling beach town. Whether you're beginner and the idea of embarking down a yoga path has piqued your interest or you're a seasoned veteran looking deepen your journey, this is the shala. I was initially hesitant to start and it took me about a year to muster up the courage to walk through the doors because the idea of a steady ashtanga practice seemed intimidating and difficult, but from the very start I was met with warm smiles and people eager to assist me on the journey. I've been a steady student for almost 3 years and i can't imagine my life without this practice (and I don't mean just bending myself into a pretzel). You can come here for the asana but you will very soon discover there is much much more to this shala. Highly recommended!”

— Joanna Tewfik

“Three years ago at the beginning of July I walked into @miamilifecenter holding in my hands what was left of my shattered soul. But during one month, @kinoyoga, @timfeldmannyoga, @alexandrasantosyoga and a number of other teachers helped break what was left of me down, in order to rebuild myself on a solid foundation. They reminded me of my natural strength, integrity, and worth. They showed me I can be powerful in the face of weakness, calm in the presence of panic, and fearless in confronting the self. They showed me how to walk gracefully threw life and how to never forget who I am again. I am forever grateful to this studio and this practice.”

— Margaux Jacobs

“I have made the trip to the US three times for courses at Miami Life Center with Kino, Tim and for the Ashtanga Practioners Intensive, with other amazing teachers, like Alex Santos. Each of these trips were so well worth it! Not only for what I have learned during the time I was there, but also for everything I came back home with to work on and to support the practice. Since my first time at MLC, I have always felt very privileged for having the chance to learn from people I trust and admire.”

— Lucas Ramalho

“For me one of the best places to study ashtanga yoga in the world. From the time I met Tim and Kino I also started to come to MLC. In this shala they and their teachers pass the knowledge of yoga with love, passion and compassion. If you have a chance to study here, definitely do so”

— Katerina Buresova

“Beautiful yoga shala in warm and sunny Miami. MLC has well-informed, practicing Ashtanga teachers. It’s a welcoming community owned by Tim Feldmann who is simply put, one of the most insightful modern-day teachers in yogic principles. I attend yearly to continue my journey as both a practictioner of this method and teacher.”

— Bridgett Piacenti

“The best knowledge from the best teachers! if you want to learn real yoga, either the physical or the philosophical part from experienced and knowledgeable teachers in a friendly and cool environment...Miami Life Center is the place to do it! I have traveled twice to Miami from Mexico exclusively to take the their Ashtanga Yoga Intensives they annually have and both times it was an amazing experience. I have learned so much from practicing at MLC! being under the guidance of Tim Feldmann, Kino MacGregor, Alexandra Santos and the rest of the teachers there, have had a huge positive impact not only in my yoga practice but also in my personal life. I wish they where closer to Mexico so I can practice with them more often!”

— Mon Gonz

“I have been practicing at MLC for a little over a year. I actually moved to Miami Beach mainly to practice at MLC after doing several workshops there and loving the studio and the staff. It turned out to be an even better decision than I thought it would be. Not only my practice has deepened and improved, but I have made a whole new community of friends. The teachers are very dedicated and knowledgeable, there are regularly workshops with some of the best ashtanga teachers from all over and the studio also offers great complementary practices such as pranayama, yin yoga and yoga Nidra. It’s more than a yoga studio, it’s a great community. I highly recommend to anyone who has an ashtanga practice or is interested in starting one.”

— Justine Catheline

“I have been practicing Ashtanga Yoga at Miami Life Centre since 2009. MLC is certainly the best yoga studio in Miami. Tim Feldmann and Kino McGregor have created an amazing community of dedicated yogis in the heart of South Beach. All the teachers at MLC are extremely professional, kind and knowledgeable as the standards for teaching at MLC are very high. If you want to learn not only the ashtanga practice but also yoga philosophy, meditation and pranayama, in a warm and positive environment , MLC is the right place for you!”

— Patricia Sebag

“I’ve practiced in hundreds of studios around the world and Miami Life Center is one of my favorites. The teachers here are 100% dedicated to their practice. This isn’t a job for then it’s a way of living. Mysore with Eddie is 10/10 and guided classes with Patricia are incredible. The teacher push you and know when to leave you be. Try ashtanga yoga for 3 months and it will change your life.”

— Luiz Centenaro

“Miami Life Center is a lovely ashtanga yoga studio located in South Beach where the exceptional teachers and staff truly embody their yoga practice on and off the mat. They lead with kindness and integrity and give phenomenal hands on assists/adjustments. This a traditional yoga school so expect ujjayi breath in place of music and a focus on doing the inner inquiry work as well as physical practice. Whether you are brand new to yoga or have an advanced practice you will feel welcomed, supported and challenged.”

— Tanya Farmer

“I have felt very welcome at Miami Life center. I'm enjoying the practice Mysore style. All the teachers are dedicated to the practice and committed to move no You along the path too. If you are ever able to practice with TIM FELDMAN then GO. He's lovely funny and humble with a wealth of experiential knowledge to share. Best Ashtanga experience I've had. Grateful to live in Miami”

— Linda Pedrosa

“Consistently the electrification I wanted for my progression through the primary series. Treasured knowledge/tools to metamorphose from unhappiness to greatness.”

— Sean Muir Aiston

“2015, I had the huge pleasure and privilege of studying and practicing there for almost five weeks, and again in 2017 for two weeks. The teachers are all of the highest standard, dedicated to and deeply knowledgeable of the tradition of Ashtanga Yoga, and they create an atmosphere in which it is possible to be truly challenged and nurtured at the same time. I only wish I didn't live so far away and that I could practice there daily. Whether you are a complete beginner or have been practicing for many years, MLC is the perfect place to start, continue and deepen your yoga journey.”

— Lucinda Leachman

“Miami Life Center is one of my favorite places on the planet. What is there not to love about this place? The Teachers are caring, devoted, compassionate, etc. The staff is so friendly and always very positive. Every time I enter this place is like entering Heaven . The most amazing energy . I feel at home .MLC creates a safe and loving space for everyone. I have the pleasure of practicing Mysore daily . Miami Life Center rescued my heart and I will forever be thankful. I get to reconnect with myself and find peace. After every single practice I feel great and makes me want to be a better person to this world . This is where the magic happens. Not to mention they have the cutest yoga outfits ! Thank you Miami Life Center :)”

— Kimberly Lopez

“This is my home away from home! I have been coming here for years and it's THE place in the US to practice Ashtanga! Thank you MLC for being such a wonderful space. Love, Sally”

— Sally Smith

“Magic happens here in Miami Life Center. Practicing Ashtanga Yoga here makes such a difference in my day. And repeating the experience everyday is life-changing. I highly recommend the place. It is for everyone. The teachers and assistants pass on the Ashtanga method with humility and reverence. They know what they are doing and do it with the utmost respect for the student and the tradition. I love hearing them speak about how the practice transforms them in such a positive way and how they want to share this feeling with the students. I feel the same too. MLC is the only place that felt like home to me after studying with my guru Sharath Jois. Now, I practice in MLC early morning with authorized teacher Alexandra Santos. She is 100% here for the students. We feel safe, always supported by her warm presence and assists. It is also priceless to be assisted by Esmeralda; she has magic in her hands and Katie too. Whenever possible, it is great to be assisted by the founders of the studio Tim Feldmann and Kino MacGregor. Their teachings are so valuable: a great source of knowledge and wisdom. I am so happy and grateful that they initiated me to this Ashtanga method. I met them in a workshop in London two years ago and ever since just wished to practice in their Miami studio. The place just feels like an abobe of peace and serenity. The books there are also really worth reading. Some are life changing. At the front desk, you will find Erin or JP. They are super friendly. Namaste everyone!”

— Bayoga France

“I've been going here consistently for three weeks and love the positive vibe here. This is my first time doing ashtanga and the teachers have all been very accommodating and helpful. Ashtanga is very challenging physically, but so worth the effort. I'm noticing significant progress after three weeks of regular practice. the teachers here are extremely friendly and remembered my name after the first or second visit. Many of the students have been attending for several years, so there's definitely a sense of belonging and closeness when people start seeing your face again and again. As for the negative reviews I've read, the only thing I can think of is that they are very honest with you when you first start on which class levels you can take if you're new to ashtanga. Perhaps people took offense to that. I found it helpful since I want to get the most out of each class and certainly don't want to injure myself or struggle painstakingly for 90 minutes.”

— Erin Clemens

“I've been practicing at Miami Life Center for the past 2 years and am truly addicted. Not only is the Ashtanga practice at this studio authentic, but it's not as intimidating as I thought it would be. ALL of the teachers and apprentices were so welcoming and supportive when I first began and 2 years later they are so knowledgeable about where I am in my journey and how to support the process beyond asana alignment and adjustments.

Getting to know the teachers and see their own journey has been part of the inspiration and the reason I find myself dragging my behind to the studio on days that I have no desire to move. They all have a dedicated practice and because of this truly understand the internal intelligence of the asanas. It is also so rare to find teachers that understand yoga beyond asana. Because of their curiosity of yoga as a science of the mind, they have been able to support me when my desire to step on my mat is minimal.

They have become my community. I am incredibly grateful to them!!”

— Franci Blanco

“I stumbled upon this yoga studio serendipitously and decided to drop in for a class.

The receptionist asked if I've ever taken ashtanga before so that I would be aware of how physically demanding this class is going to be... that's how you know their classes kick asses (sorry, I just had to rhyme)!

I handed over $20 and put away my flip flops in a little cubbie, then put away my jacket in the bathroom. A mat is free for the first time. When the time came, we went into the smaller room.

They offer different levels; I took a full primary class. It was definitely tough and I loved every minute of it. The instructor did hands-on adjustments which I appreciate greatly. I felt rejuvenated afterwards! I've taken many yoga classes in New York City and I wish we had this studio here!

After that, check out Under the Mango Tree nearby for a smoothie!”

— Elsie W.

“I've been so impressed with this studio. I chose to sign up during a 2-month vacation in Miami, and I'm so glad I did. I didn't even know a yoga studio could be this professional and driven. I took the Foundations I class with them, and the way they teach the poses is just so much clearer than a standard Vinyasa class. When you can't do it exactly the way it's supposed to be done, the teachers tell you what part is the most important for the pose, which was absolutely il-lum-i-nat-ing. I would legitimately move to Miami Beach just to keep working with this team.”

— Samantha A.

“This is the best place for Ashtanga yoga in Miami Beach. Teachers are knowledgeable, caring and you get the best adjustments ever, every time I walk out of the studio my body has gone deeper than ever before. Traditional count in guided classes and also the best Mysore Teachers and a Mysore room full of love and knowledge. If you are serious about yoga, this is your Shala.”
