ONE-YEAR MENTORSHIP

WITH TIM FELDMANN

MAY 2025 - june 2026 • with special friends

Atha Atma is a one-year close and personal mentorship program where Tim will teach a select few Ashtangis all that he knows about this yoga path. This mentoring experience is for students whose heart yearns to embody Patanjali's eight limbs as guiding principles to living life. This rare close and personal mentorship anchors the learning in all eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga under Tim’s direct supervision and guidance. 

The embodied experience and applied knowledge of yoga are the exclusive focus of the program. Factual skill building in asana technique and adjustments, yogic breathing, classical yoga texts, chanting, and more. All students will grow the seed of devotion, wisdom, and compassion through conscious application of yoga in action.

Atha means ‘now’ as in the moment we awaken and realise we are ready to walk the path and commit ourselves fully. Atma translates to ‘pure consciousness' and suggests the truest, deepest seed of Self within us, the concept of Soul, and the notion of human essence. Atha Atma ignites a new chapter of deeper learning for the select few student who join the journey. Jijnasa is 'sincere, curioUs, and passionate inquiry, and this traditional course of study set the tone for Atha Atma. Tapas, Svadyaya & Isvara Pranidhanani translates to ‘practice, study, and devotion' and are the three cornerstones and the means by which we will approach. Aiming to surpass the parameters of only asana, Atha Atma offers an unprecedented setting for dedicated yoga practitioners and teachers to surpass the parameters of an asana-focused course of study. Daily asana practice, yogic breathing, applied anatomy, technical solidity, the art of adjustment, meditation, vedic chanting, devotion & pilgrimage, essential philosophy, required reading and more encourage the true pursuit of learning. By integrating the diverse aspects of the yoga path, Tim seeks to spark the delight of learning, hence growing.

Atha Atma is created, guided, and curated by master teacher Tim Feldmann. If you apply to this course, you likely know Tim already and are already familiar with his manner of teaching. Tim is a former successful dancer and choreographer who has been practicing, studying, and teaching Yoga for 29 years. He captained the renowned Miami Life Center and its educational program for 16 years, developed MLC’s former 2-year apprenticeship program, travels as an international guest teacher, studied under Pattabhi Jois, continues to study under Sharath Jois and carries the formal Ashtanga Yoga Authorisation. Now, for the first time, Tim is offering a one-year comprehensive mentorship, Atha Atma. 

Three bedrock yogic texts - Yoga Sutra, Sankhya Karika, and Bhagavad Gita - will be taught by Tim along with his teachers, renowned Indian scholars Dr. Nagaraja Rao and Dr. Vigneshwar Bath. Tim’s wife, Kino MacGregor, as well as special friends, will teach select subjects.

Atha Atma is intended for the student whose heart is already decided on the Ashtanga path and seeks to fully embody the method of Ashtanga Yoga. Five years of practice, the ability to fit extensive study into your schedule, and prior experience with me is a requirement to apply. 

Personal mentorship is an unparalleled method of learning. We will work in a small group both in-person in Miami and online as well as individually, one-on-one, over one year. You are required to apply to practice with Sharathji in Mysore*. It will be traditional.
