Senior Ashtanga Yoga teacher Tim Feldmann leads a warm, practice-focused weekend designed to support healing in body and mind, offer practical tools for navigating life, and encourage deeper self-inquiry. Across five sessions, each about two hours, participants explore key elements of the Primary Series and related skills, with guidance that blends clear technique, anatomical insight, and an approachable sense of humor. The weekend is open to all experience levels. One session offers a led Half Primary practice with time for questions, highlighting the grounding qualities of sun salutations and standing postures, then pausing within select seated poses to refine alignment and better understand the intent behind the practice. Another session concentrates on the latter portion of the Primary Series, from Badakonasana to Setu Bandhasana, with practical details and anatomical pointers that help you advance safely while connecting the work on the mat to everyday life. A focused workshop on the gateway postures of the Primary Series, including Bhujapidasana, Kurmasana, and Supta Kurmasana, breaks down technique and alignment so common sticking points become more manageable. By examining how the body moves in these shapes, you can remove obstacles and cultivate both freedom and strength. A guided Primary Series class explores how linking breath, movement, and a steady gaze can support health and clarity. The emphasis is on using the traditional vinyasa method as a pathway to a strong, flexible body and a more settled mind, with space to discover lessons of resilience and ease within the sequence. The weekend concludes with an in-depth look at inversions, headstands, and arm balances, offering step-by-step tools for turning upside down with stability and calm. Shoulder mechanics and full-body integration are explained so inversions on the head, hands, or elbows feel accessible and enjoyable, with options ranging from simple to more advanced. Tim has practiced since 1994 and teaches Ashtanga as a practical means for healing and growth. Certified to teach by Sharath’s Yoga Centre in Mysore and a practitioner of the Advanced A Series, he draws on his background as an internationally successful dancer and choreographer. His approach weaves anatomy, alignment, and technique with studies of Patañjali’s Sutras, Sankhya, the Bhagavad Gita, Vedanta, and related texts, using lived experience on the mat to illuminate philosophy. His teaching emphasizes that steady practice, thoughtful study, and dedication can spark meaningful transformation from the inside out. Pricing: $299 for the full weekend of five workshops, or $65 for a single workshop.
