HI, I’M TIM…
My yoga journey began in my first year of college. I showed up for a class at my school's recreation center inflexible, intimidated, and confused. But I instantly loved how yoga made me feel, and I quickly became obsessed, studying and practicing with any free time I had. I started a yoga club at my school, acted as its president, and began teaching classes at a local studio in Ocean Beach, San Diego. After four years of learning from my local teachers and reading anything yoga-related I could get my hands on, I still didn't feel like I grasped the subject properly, or had any business teaching. I felt like I needed to take a deeper dive before I could share. I needed more.
After graduating from San Diego State University, while working on my master's in cultural anthropology, I found my first guru and threw myself fully into studying yoga with Megan Bello at Orange County Yoga Studio. Soon after, I began an apprenticeship with her mentor, Anna Delury, while regularly taking workshops with another of her mentors, Manouso Manos. I also took classes, workshops, and retreats with Paul Cabanis.
The opportunity to study with such knowledgeable and prolific Iyengar yoga teachers was priceless and eye-opening. The Iyengar method made sense to me; it was concrete, focused, and effective. I furthered my education by studying Ashtanga Yoga and completed teacher training with Tim Miller.
It wasn't until I was introduced to Vinnie Marino's class that I realized I could take ideas from my Iyengar and Ashtanga foundations and blend them into my own style of vinyasa flow.
I truly enjoy practicing at home. In fact, it was one of the many reasons I started my YouTube channel.
My channel, Yoga With Tim, was important because it gave me a way to share yoga with people for free, offering a variety of practices for all types of people. I hope I'm able to transmit with authenticity what I've learned from these amazing teachers to help you along your journey.
