2 Month Ashtanga Training
With Tim Feldmann & Kino MacGregor and Special Friends.
January 31 - March 19, 2022
With great joy Kino MacGregor and Tim Feldmann announce their in-depth education in yogic studies for teachers and established practitioners, at Miami Life Center. This 2-month/300hr course brings the experience, tradition, personal attention and the master level Ashtanga methodology perfected by Kino and Tim over the past 20 years.
The Training / The Path
You will join a comprehensive program aimed at deepening your understanding and ability of Ashtanga Yoga, whether that be re-setting your foundation in your practice and dedication or refine your established yoga teachings further. This course celebrates Ashtanga Yoga as a view on life. We believe that you will complete this course prepared to bring a refreshing depth to your steps on this ancient path.
This program is an intensive Ashtanga learning experience. You will be immersed in daily practice of asana, sitting and yogic breathing as Tapas is essential to any personal growth on the yogic path. Continuous workshops and seminars on key philosophy, anatomy and technique helps build a firm layer of deeper understanding. And as it can be tricky to combine this ancient path with a modern life you will be introduced to navigate mentoring, teaching, legal issues and social modalities with sound ethical straight forwardness.
Tim Feldmann and Kino MacGregor present a roster of special teachers who all dedicate their lives to the spiritual practice of yoga. Through their guidance, you will learn the technical foundation for key asanas of the Primary and Second Series in their original context, inclusive the Vinyasa counts. You will learn how to practice and instruct basic mindfulness and meditation, modify the practice for accessibility and therapeutics and much more. Our intention is to provide you with an education that supplements your existing body of yoga knowledge - not with a formal Ashtanga certification. Only Sharath Jois' Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore, India, can grant you an official certification or authorization to teach Ashtanga Yoga.
We will take a particular focus on how to make this formidable practice accessible to all by learning applied anatomy, modified ways to present Ashtanga gently, yoga therapeutics and injury prevention. You will develop trauma-informed skills, heighten your awareness of inclusivity, and be equipped to meet the student where they are.
What Will I Learn?
On completion of this program, you will be established in daily practice with a tangible understanding of the technical foundations of for the principle postures of the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series and Intermediate Series. You will learn classic yogic breathing techniques, meditation and mindfulness and the traditional method of Sanskrit Vinyasas counting for select asanas.
You will study classic Yoga Philosophy as per Patanjali and The Bhagavad Gita and potentially other primary texts with some of the most respected teachers in the field. In short, you will learn how to truly honor yoga’s roots.

Application Checklist: – Application form/questionnaire – Head shot – Teacher recommendation
A recommendation from a teacher who knows you well helps us with a look into your practice and commitment to yoga. We prefer a recommendation from an Ashtanga based teacher, yet whomever you call your teacher works fine. We would like to hear about how long you have worked together, what the experience has been from the teacher's perspective, your teacher’s view on your potentials and challenges, whether your teacher finds you are physically and mentally ready to pursue a one month all day intensive, plus whatever else your teacher finds relevant.
