Barefoot Yoga’s Inspiring Teacher of the Month:
Tim Miller

Tim Miller

Tim Miller is the founder and director of the Ashtanga Yoga Center in Carlsbad, CA.  Tim has been studying and teaching Ashtanga Yoga for over 30 years.  He was the first American certified to teach Ashtanga by Pattabhi Jois – at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India.  Tim’s knowledge of this system is thorough, and he teaches it in a dynamic, yet compassionate and playful manner.  I have been fortunate to take classes from Tim on several occasions – at yoga conferences and at his home studio – then in Encinitas, CA.  Tim’s low-key approach, masterful adjustments, and deep insights make him among the best, and well worth a trip to San Diego – or wherever he is teaching – to study from this Ashtanga master.

Yoga Behind Bars

Barefoot Yoga has the highest admiration for non-profit groups that heal and help through the practice of yoga. One very special organization is located in our very own state of Washington!

Yoga Behind Bars

Yoga Behind Bars is a non-profit organization in Washington state that holds yoga and meditation classes for incarcerated youth, women and men. Their mission is to bring self-awareness, healing and transformation for their students. They strive for love, respect, integrity, hope and safety behind bars and beyond. The students are given tools to cope with depression, addiction, anger, anxiety and loss of self-esteem. It is their vision that yoga would provide a pathway to freedom through deep healing and self-awareness.
