Mysore is the name of a large city in south India, and is where this particular method of Ashtanga yoga was established and popularized by a handful of teachers including: Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Jois, and BNS Iyengar. The Mysore method is a self practice - a teacher works one on one with students building slowly on a set sequence of postures. The focal points (called Trishtana) are the framework upon which the practice is built. They are: breathing, gazing point, and posture. The practice is meant to transform from the inside out the mental and physical patterning of our daily lives. the potential for healing is great when the priorities of practice are process rather than goal oriented, breathing rather than accumulation of technique or asana oriented, and when through dedication, discipline, and persistent self study we consciously move toward embodying our entire selves in more nurturing, accepting, and less judgmental ways. as a result of continued efforts and attention over time, the body/mind organism gains more stability, becoming lighter and more clear. through our daily practices we unveil these ideas as they slowly unfold into embodied realities. Learn more Learn more in 2014 timothy founded mysore oakland, a six morning a week mysore program in california. he guided this thriving community of practitioners for three and a half years before relocating back to brooklyn, nyc (where he had previously spent 20 years) with his family in 2017. during that time, he was a mysore room guide at the shala yoga house five mornings a week in manhattan. in october 2019, timothy returned to the bay area and planted the seeds for atha, a six morning a week mysore ashtanga yoga practice space. he has been guiding the community since. he has taught in nyc, san francisco, oakland, bali, costa rica ( casa ashtanga nosara ), and berkeley, ca. he is grateful for the support and guidance of eddie stern, rolf and marci naujokat, sharath jois (who he received authorization from in 2014), sharmila desai, peter sanson, dr. nagaraja rao, and the late s.n. goenka of the vipassana tradition. he is also honored to have worked with and learned from all of the amazing humans who have stepped into our community spaces and shared a part of themselves and their efforts over the years. he recognizes the enormous privilege it has been to have made nine extended trips to india to study. he is humbled and indebted to the people and traditions of india, which have been and continue to be a great source of inspiration, confrontation, and mystery. timothy has a degree in fine arts from the school of visual arts, nyc and in 2023 finished three years of waldorf teacher training at the bay area center for waldorf teacher training. he has facilitated a parent education + support group at berkeley rose waldorf school in berkeley, ca for the last two years. the group is oriented towards building a greater understanding of the developmental arch of childhood from birth to 7 years of age. he offers consultations with parents of children from birth to age 7. more information on that here .

T-Group is a small group experience where we explore what arises between us in real time—thoughts, emotions, sensations—while cultivating the capacity for deeper emotional intimacy with those in the room and beyond. This isn’t therapy, and it’s more than just conversation. It’s a practice of noticing what’s happening right now . Together, we make the invisible visible: what’s underneath our reactions, what’s unspoken between the lines, and what’s longing to be known. Meet The Facilitators Nasiem Sanjideh Nasiem has been practicing T-Group and relational facilitation for eight years, grounded in her Iranian family values of community, service, and presence. A Board-Certified Behavior Analyst with a background in yoga, somatics, and therapeutic training through the Interchange Counseling Institute, she brings a warm, attuned, and embodied approach to supporting emotional awareness and human connection. Facilitator Facilitator Alexandra Oliver, cpcc, acc A Certified Co-Active Leadership Coach, EMyth Business Coach, and NLP Marin–trained Master Practitioner, Alexandra draws on eight years of T-Group practice to guide groups toward greater awareness, connection, and presence. She is passionate about the insight and transformation that emerge when people learn and grow together in community. A present-moment exploration of how we show up with one another What You'll Practice Feedback as a Gift Learn how to give and receive feedback with care, clarity, and consent. Sensations, Feelings & Stories Practice distinguishing between body sensations, emotional experiences, and the narratives we create. Revealing Over Performing Explore the power of authenticity over perfection. Show up as you are. Taking Ownership Build the muscle of owning your experience, rather than projecting or blaming. Parts Work in a Group Context Notice how different aspects of yourself emerge in connection with others. Group Dynamics Gain insight into the unspoken patterns and roles you adopt in group settings. Interpersonal Insight Understand how you tend to relate to new people vs. familiar ones — and what shifts when you're aware of that. Mindful Presence Hone the ability to stay grounded and present, even in moments of discomfort or tension. Tuning into The Relational Field The unspoken dynamics that live between us . Where It Comes From Short for “Training Group,” T-group was developed at the National Training Laboratory in the 1940s as a groundbreaking method for exploring human interaction in real time. It became foundational in fields like organizational psychology, leadership development, and group process work. T-group invites participants into here-and-now awareness—tuning into sensations and emotions as they arise, naming them, and exploring how interpersonal dynamics unfold in the moment. This practice deepens self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and relational capacity over time. Our small group experience also draws inspiration from practices like Circling and Authentic Relating , which emphasize presence, curiosity, and speaking from direct experience. While these modalities share common roots, we lean more heavily into the T-group tradition—centering real-time awareness and collective reflection. The result is an accessible, heart-centered space that blends deep presence with relational play, emotional truth, and the power of being known in real time. FAQs Is this therapy? No. While this work can be therapeutic, it is not therapy. Connection Circle is a relational mindfulness practice and an opportunity for personal growth and interpersonal exploration. Do I need prior experience? No experience is required. Just a willingness to be curious, open, and present. How big is the group? Groups are intentionally small (typically up to 10 participants) to foster depth. How often do we meet? Sessions are offered weekly, you can come as often or infrequently as you would like. Check the schedule for upcoming longer workshop offerings. What happens in a session? Each session begins with a short grounding intro together, followed by open relational exploration where participants share what's alive in the moment and respond to one another with presence and self-reflection. Is this confidential? Yes. Confidentiality and consent are core agreements. We co-create safety through clear agreements and mutual respect. Does this have to be serious? Not at all! All parts of you are welcome here—including your silliness, joy, playfulness, and everything in between. We honor the full spectrum of your human experience. Ready to Join?

Many yoga practitioners feel that they’ve hit a plateau—unsure of how to take their practice to the next level or wondering if they are truly ready to share their knowledge with others. They hesitate, believing they need more time, more experience, or simply more clarity on how to teach with authenticity and compassion. The problem is that the journey toward becoming a confident and heart-centered yoga teacher often gets bogged down by uncertainty and self-doubt. Most teacher trainings only scratch the surface—focusing on physical practice or basic theory—without truly addressing the heart of yoga: the connection between our practice and our inner wisdom. This is where Lighting the Path Teacher Training stands apart. Lighting the Path Teacher Training is a life-changing course of study, designed to help you uncover your authentic voice, deepen your practice, and embody the teachings of yoga—whether you are an aspiring teacher or a dedicated practitioner looking to deepen your own journey.

Comprehensive Curriculum : The program covers everything you need to be an effective yoga teacher: cueing, sequencing, hands-on assists, injury prevention, vocal presence, yoga philosophy, anatomy, and more. Whether you’re refining your teaching or exploring new techniques, we’ve got you covered. Variety of Teaching Methods : Learn through demonstration, lecture, group discussions, and partner practice. This dynamic approach helps you embody the material deeply, ensuring that your teaching skills are well-rounded and rooted in experience.

On the shortest, darkest day of the year, we are urged to call on the divine light from within. The long dark days of winter can lend themselves to physical stagnation, fatigue, and hibernation. In this yin yoga workshop, we honor the pause before we are called to expand once again. Expect beautiful poetic imagery, quiet deep movement & to drop not only the December stress, but to drop right into retreat mode. Abhyanga - Self-Massage Workshop with Emily Abhyanga balances all the winds of the body, allowing for regular elimination, stable emotions and protection for the skin. It activates the lymphatic system and promotes fluid circulation. In this workshop, we will learn more about the benefits of daily self-massage for this and all seasons, practice the technique to deeply nourish and ground you and settle into a guided meditation for deep rest. Jivamukti XL: Incline to the Light with Vrinda A Native American wisdom story tells of 2 dogs that live in every human heart: a bad dog & a good dog. The bad dog represents the lower tendencies of envy, anger, lust, greed, arrogance & illusion. The good dog represents the higher tendencies of compassion, integrity, generosity, humility & wisdom. These 2 dogs battle one another. Which dog will win? The one we choose to feed! This workshop will provide the scope of challenge and insight Vrinda is known for. Expect a well rounded flowing practice that weaves dynamic movement, yogic philosophy, anatomy, chanting, meditation, and (consent-based) skillful hands-on assists with a wide range of eclectic music. The practice is designed not only to make you move, sweat, and reflect, but to also empower fearless curiosity, increase self-acceptance, reconnect you to your humanity, and inspire spiritual activation—all while keeping your sense of humor.

It literally translates as not to harm or injure. Ahimsa means nonviolence in all aspects of our life, in our thoughts and our behaviors and our actions toward ourselves and others. Everyone deserves to practice yoga in a safe space, Free from judgment, from harm, exclusion or anything that would keep them from being able to be comfortable in yoga. With that in mind we would like you to review our yoga class etiquette: Choose a class that serves your needs. There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to yoga, as there are many different types of classes and styles of yoga to choose from. Individuals who are new to yoga should do a bit of research and find a class description that aligns with their individual interests, goals, and needs. For example, if you are seeking something a bit more athletic and want to sweat, look for words like “strong” and “power” in the class description. Alternatively, if your objective is to re­lax and restore, find a description that matches those de­sires, such as a gentle flow or restorative class. *new students e-mail [email protected] to ask about best class options * Arrive early. Especially if it’s your first class. This allows time to find a space, unroll your mat and collect your props (any blankets, bolsters, blocks or straps you may want to modify poses) without disturbing anyone. It also gives you an opportunity to begin tuning into your inner landscape. If you are late, wait until after the teacher’s opening ritual — it could be a reading, a breathing exercise, a meditation, a sequence of oms — before entering; otherwise you are interrupting the class while the other students are trying to get grounded. You may not be allowed into class if you arrive more than 10 minutes after the class starts. Plan to stay for the whole class. If you must leave early, let the teacher know, and quietly exit before savasana, the period of final relaxation at the end of class. Again, this is to not disturb your classmates during a key part of class — experts often say savasana is the most important and challenging pose in yoga. Whether coming or going, try not to step on anyone’s mat. Leave your shoes in the cubicles provided. Yoga is practiced on the floor, and tracking in dirt makes the studio unclean. In addition, the concept of grounding — literally and figuratively is very important in yoga — it’s simply easier to ground yourself if your feet are making direct contact with the floor. Devices are a no-no. Leave your cell phone and smart watch with your belongings. Have your cell phone either off or on airplane mode. This is so you can fully disconnect and others won’t be disturbed. If, for some reason, being fully disconnected is not an option for you because of a potential emergency (children are sick, you are on call for work, etc) please let the teacher know and you can leave your cell phone next to you on silent. If during class you need to take a phone call or text because of an emergency, please leave the studio space and address the emergency outside of the studio. Come equipped. Bring a water bottle, a towel, and, if possible, your own mat. We offer a water fountain to fill your water bottle up. Consider being well hydrated prior to attending class. A towel may be used in a heated/sweaty class and can also be used as a prop to keep your head level during savasana or as a clean layer over a communal yoga mat. We do have yoga mats to borrow as needed. Please clean the mat after use with our mat cleaning spray. Take a shower prior to practicing yoga. The first of the five niyamas in Patanjai’s yoga sutras is “saucha,” which can be translated as cleanliness. For our purposes we will assume Patanjali is referring to bodily cleanliness, which may be the first step to more subtle and enlightened forms of cleanliness or purity. This is a very important observance for both students and teachers of yoga. Please be considerate of your teacher and fellow students by bathing, brushing your teeth, washing your hair, and using a clean mat and a clean towel. Remember that you’re subjecting those around you to your personal biome. Please make it a tidy and pleasant one. Avoid perfume or scented lotion. These can be distracting for fellow students who are sensitive to fragrances. Some yoga instructors may use incense or essential oils to set moods. Dress for success. Wear clothing appropriate for the class.You want something comfortable that you can move in that isn’t prone to a wardrobe malfunction or to bunching up and getting in your way: think stretchy, breathable fabrics. Got a cold - stay home. Feeling under the weather? Then it’s best to Stay off the mat, or at least stay home. In a yoga studio you are in very close, enclosed proximity with sometimes 30-40+ other people who would rather not get sick. Be considerate of others, take care of yourself and feel better before returning to the yoga studio. Let the instructor know about any physical issues and preferences. If you have a problem such as a bad back or a frozen shoulder, or if you prefer not to receive any hands-on assists (this is when a teacher touches a student to improve their alignment or make them more comfortable), let the instructor know before class. Doing your own thing. Yoga teachers may remind you to modify poses, especially if you are working with an injury or a weakness. They will also invite you to challenge yourself with slightly longer holds or more strenuous versions of the pose that they are cueing. However, disregarding all cues and completely doing your own sequence of poses is not respectful to the teacher. If you want to do your own thing, enjoy your own practice at home. Clean up after class . Once the class has ended, it is expected that you clean up after yourself. If you borrowed a mat, then be sure to wipe it down after the class using the sanitizing spray. Neatly put any props you used away and be sure that the space around your mat is clean and tidy. Emotions on the move. The yoga practice often helps us to release pain and discomfort in the body, mind or spirit. The body might release emotions in many different ways in many different forms. You may hear emotions come up in practice. If you do hear emotions, please support yourself, and the greater community with your breath and practice being compassionate. Respect the sacred space. People come to yoga for many reasons. Some go for a workout or more appropriately, a “work-in”. Others use the practice as a way to process emotions. Still others experience yoga as their spiritual practice. Many see the yoga space as a sanctuary, a safe space where they go to connect with themselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually, to de-stress, to feel a sense of community with other peop
