Master Ashtanga Instructor Tim Feldman to Visit Jax

Check out Sati with her feet behind her head!

Information retrieved from the Yoga Life website:

This weekend will include Tim's masterful technniques in hands-on adjustments. His methods give students the kinesthetic road map to understanding where the body needs to go in even the most challenging asanas ie. Supta Kurmasana, Janu Sirsasana B, Marichyasana D. In his own words, "The assists we all remember are the ones that spoke to us precisely where we were at in a given moment and gave us the gift of overcoming the next step we needed at that time in our practice."

In these two adjustment master classes, Tim offers you the framework for this style of teaching. Listening is the first step. Tim will teach you how to stop and listen to your student's body and in the simplest way, connect deeply with the human being in front of you. You will begin to share one aim-a positive human transformation of your student's practice and general well being. If you are seeking to develop strong, effective adjustment techniques that will give you the opportunity to connect and transform your students' practice: This is the workshop for You!!

Tim Feldmann is co-founder of the Miami Life Center, along with his partner Kino Macgregor. He is directly Authorized to teach by his teacher, the founder of the Ashtanga Yoga Method, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his grandson, Sharat Rangaswami. Tim was set on the yoga path by his root teacher Lino Miele. A third series practitioner, Tim is dedicated to Ashtanga Yoga's traditional style. Tim's teaching integrates his 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 is a cherished teacher giving workshops throughout Europe, India and the Americas.

This Won't Last Long

And especially since the last one was cancelled, here's our chance to get our DJ Power Yoga Party fix and check out the new lululemon store at the same time. For those who don't know, this will be only the third store in Florida...they chose Jacksonville as their second entry market after Miami. That is, to me anyhow, an astonishing reflection on the yoga community here and its potential. To my knowledge it opens Florida/Georgia weekend (October 26 to be precise) in, where else, the Saint Johns Town Center.

For the sake of full disclosure, Mark is one of the store's "ambassadors".

Location, Location, Location

Those of you who came to Slow Flow last week were sure to realize that space was tooooo small! Rest assured I have corrected this situation, and found a much larger practice room for class. However it is not available until next week, and as such we will not be having class this Wednesday, October 17. Please join us when class resumes next Wednesday, October 24.

Former Yoga Fusion students, just a reminder that you are free to use your remaining classes to attend. Please contact me at littlebirdyoga@gmail.com to make arrangements if you have not done so already.

Our new location is within Positively Fit at 4040 Woodcock Avenue. This is in building 2200 of the Midtown Center, which occupies the Northwest quadrant of the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Art Museum Road. You can access Midtown Center from either of those roads. Make your way to the third floor. See you then!
