first learned anatomy drawing comic book super heroes and intense althetics as a wrestler in high school. He began his teaching career at Sheffield Pre-school and at Step One, a natural progression for the sixth of seven siblings who has ten nieces and nephews. Years of West African dance, Contact Improvisation, Capoeira and ballet brought him to UC Berkeley as a dance major. While on staff at Piedmont Springs as a deep tissue massage therapist, he began his apprenticeship with Rodney Yee. A three-year graduate of Piedmont Yoga Studio’s Teacher Training Program, Tim taught Iyengar yoga at PYS, the Courthouse Athletic Club, Temescal Arts Center, Thunder Road, and at various public schools. Studying with Sarah Powers ignited his love of Ashtanga yoga and he eventually developed Isometric Monkey Yoga and the Primate and Simian Series. Influenced by Bucky Fuller and Islamic art, some of his bamboo creations populate the Shala. Feel free to call in or email any questions about yoga or related monkey business.
