Kino believes in making the tools of traditional yoga accessible for all different sizes, shapes, ethnicities and ages and writes a Yogi Assignment blog based on her popular Yogi Assignment book.

Join Tim Feldmann for an Ashtanga Yoga practice at the Leggings Lounge in Miami, originally featured LIVE on Omstars.

Tim Feldmann was the director of Miami Life Center, the yoga shala he founded with his wife Kino MacGregor and Matt Tashjian, for over 15 years. He was set on the yoga path by his first teacher Lino Miele and is Authorized to teach directly by the founder of the Ashtanga Yoga Method, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and his grandson, R. Sharath Jois. A practitioner of the Advanced A series Tim is dedicated to Ashtanga Yoga’s traditional method.

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’s humorous, straight forward yet profound teaching style makes him a cherished teacher, traveling extensively throughout Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas.

Join Elizabeth Richardson for a vinyasa flow through which you will work on synchronizing your breath with your movements. Take the time to really connect with your body through this 60-minute practice, plus, stay tuned for a 5-minute Q&A at the end. This class was originally featured during our Week of Live practices.

Elizabeth is a retired dancer, active meditator and passionate yogi. She’s also a talented musician and inspiration for following one’s heart to achieve any goal or dream! 
Her journey into wellness didn’t come easy – as they rarely do.  She recalls a period during her college years where she was over-worked, overwhelmed with stress, and unable to sleep.  So much, she found she was often unfocused, disoriented, and living the life of an insomniac. 
Turning to meditation, a practice she learned early in life, she began to find relief.  Combined with practicing pranayama and silencing her mind each night, it was as if everything began to fall into place. Along with igniting her breath, she found the moving meditation of Vinyasa Style yoga to be the missing piece that connected her history of movement and music together. 
Like dance, it gave her an outlet to express her creativity and release any tensions, while increasing her energy and sense of well-being. 
Combining her love and talent for music, movement and meditation, she was able to find herself again.  And why she encourages her students to ‘let their breath be their music, and the music lead their movement.’ This mantra was her guide to self discovery, and one she openly shares with all. 
After three years of a dedicated practice, she watched her quality of life improve. Her fears and insecurities began to fade. She was, in her words “simply happier!” 
Taking her passion for yoga forward, she earned a 200hr certification in Vinyasa Power Yoga.  Along with teaching at SOL Yoga, she plans to further her practice and studies introducing yoga in new ways to the community, through inspiring music and powerful movement.

Breathwork

Joseph Armstrong's backbending workshop is more than just a practice. It's an opportunity to explore your backbending practice while developing the physical and mental strength needed to properly engage with backbends.

Joseph Armstrong teaches yoga rooted firmly in tradition but with an eye to the future. His search for a more present and peaceful life first led him to the practice in 2008. A few years later he was in India studying intensively.
After finally overcoming a long struggle with addiction, Joseph began experimenting with Ashtanga Yoga. He understood quickly that the lineage was calling to him to deepen his practice. He underwent a 2 year apprenticeship program at the world renowned Miami Life Center, continuing his education under his dear teachers Tim Fieldman and Kino MacGregor. More recently he has completed 2 months of study in Mysore under Sharath Jois.
Joseph teaches yoga because attempts to do any and everything else ended disastrously. But when he finally devoted himself to his passion, he became an asset to himself and others. He hopes his practice allows him to be ever more loving and to exist gently.

Watch the replays of Monica's Live Classes right here on Omstars. Explore the fundamentals of this powerful system of yoga which links breath and concentration to movement and postures. Each class will have a slightly different focus within Ashtanga’s intelligent sequencing; always taking a closer look at technique, movement mechanics, tools and concepts to embody the essence of this method. By better understanding and experiencing these foundational elements, we have the opportunity to move into a more advanced and intentional practice. We can feel into the subtleties of asana and therefore of our bodies and minds.
This class is for all levels as a comprehensive introduction to Ashtanga Yoga or a re-discovery of the basics with new perspective.

Monica Arellano is a student and teacher of Ashtanga Yoga, pranayama and meditation practices.

Through sincere practice, she believes we can deconstruct unhealthy patterns, facilitate healing on many levels, and find our way back to the most honest expression of ourselves.

Ashtanga Fundamentals

Watch our live class replays from our Yogi Beans yoga experience for kids, committed to introducing young people to a healthy and lifelong activity that is noncompetitive, non-judgmental, physically challenging, and a ton of fun! Our core program structure develops children's abilities to focus (attention), stand up straight (posture), move their limbs with control (coordination) and grace (flexibility), and find inner strength (self-confidence). Our curricula are designed to introduce young people  to the foundations of yoga and mindfulness, and translate novel yogic concepts into a language that is understood and enjoyed.

Yogi Beans is the brainchild of mind-body-fitness expert Lauren Chaitoff, who founded Yogi Beans in 2007. Lauren found herself teaching yoga to hundreds of kids, attending numerous trainings, workshops and lectures and designing the Yogi Beans curriculum "sprouting" from her innate ability to connect with children and her knowledge of yoga. Yogi Beans has since become one of the top rated children's programs in New York City. 
As Founder & CEO, Lauren oversees and trains the stellar Yogi Beans Instructor team, leads regular Yogi Beans' public teacher trainings, and creates and teaches weekly classes to beans of all ages at a range of venues. Lauren holds a Bachelor's Degree in Theater from Northwestern University and is a registered E-RYT Yoga Instructor through the Yoga Alliance. Lauren continuously evolves Yogi Beans' programming from her extensive experiences in the classroom, on her mat, and through her love of her own beans, Vivienne Bell and Juliette Rose.

I have been into sports and training since I could walk. Raised right here in Orlando Florida I know all about how training in the heat can really help your results happen faster. I mostly played football and basketball in my early years with a little bit of track and field. I have done speed training and strength training and now I am a certified Vinyasa Yoga teacher with over 200 hours study of Anatomy and Alignment. I also practice and teach acro yoga. I'm all about meeting people where they are in fitness and helping them reach their goals while finding a way to enjoy the process.

Strengthening Yoga

Watch the replay of Ahmed's live classes offered right here on Omstars. These challenging times call for both strength, as we face down a health crisis, and openness, as we accept the change and upheaval that has been thrust upon us. Fortunately, we find strength and openness on the mat. Let’s explore that together, with the intention of taking those attributes off the mat as well.

Before I found yoga and began teaching, I was a wildlife biologist and environmental scientist. Serving the natural environment and helping to recover endangered species was my way of giving to a greater good. This is a concept that I've carried daily into a yogic lifestyle, both in teaching and in practice. I seek to serve this community in a way that supports strength, healing, and sustainability. After having multiple knee surgeries due to a car accident, I myself sought these qualities from my own encounter with yoga. I had to transition from contact sports like soccer to the safer and deeper space that the practice provides. 
A continuing student of Iyengar yoga, vinyasa, and meditation, I believe that awareness of breath, knowledge of the body, and mental focus on the mat lead to mindfulness and living harmoniously off the mat. I draw from my own experience and the study of human anatomy to offer a safe and grounded space for practitioners. I endeavor to help them explore their physical boundaries with a focus on intelligent alignment, awareness of breath, and steadying or relaxation of the mind. 
I have studied with Nikki Costello, Nikki Vilella, Magi Pierce, and other influential teachers. I am an ERYT-200 hour yoga alliance certified teacher with additional specialized trainings in anatomy, meditation and yoga nidra.

Sustainable Vinyasa Flow

Jamaal L. Starks, affectionately known as Porcelain, is a unique Miami native whose journey has seamlessly intertwined personal passion with professional advocacy. His introduction to yoga began in 2006, sparked by an exploration of transcendental meditation while navigating a successful corporate career in the aviation industry. 

In the wake of the global climate shift in 2020, Jamaal made a pivotal decision to step away from the corporate world to pursue his authentic interests. Through a deepened commitment to yoga, he discovered a sense of community and purpose at the Miami Life Center, where he played a vital role in establishing The Queer Yoga Club. This experience not only enriched his practice but also allowed him to engage with yoga in various forms.

In 2024, Jamaal completed the Ashtanga Practitioner Intensive, earning his teacher's certification and enhancing his skills in yoga. Today, he is well-versed in tarot, energy work, and sound healing, which he integrates into his holistic approach to wellness.

Beyond personal practice, Jamaal is a passionate advocate for the wellness and rights of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. He actively contributes to this mission by serving on three community boards, including as President of the Miami Chapter of Impulse Group Miami—one of the largest LGBTQ social groups. Additionally, he holds the position of Director at The Legacy Builders Consultant Group Inc., and serves on the Board of the Men of Color Health for ViiV Healthcare. His commitment to advocacy extends to media, where he anchors Queer News Tonight for Happening Out TV Network.

Jamaal's journey reflects a harmonious blend of personal growth, community engagement, and unwavering support for marginalized voices, making him a cherished figure in the Miami wellness and LGBTQ+ communities.

In his teachings, Jamaal emphasizes the practice of embodiment through the avenue of sensuality. He encourages listeners to tune into their bodies, using breath to access pleasure and release blockages, ultimately guiding them on a grounded path to wellness. With an unwavering commitment to fostering inclusivity and healing, Jamaal champions the rights and well-being of diverse communities, making a lasting impact in the realms of wellness and social justice.

Sensual Flow Vinyasa

In this class we start with kriyas (cleansing exercises) that facilitate smooth, deep breathing and then we explore different pranayama exercises. This part of the class is about 25 minutes. The second part of the class is a guided Ashtanga practice (open to all levels except beginners). The class is mostly flowing through select postures of the primary series with moments of workshop style breakdowns for particular poses or actions – how to do them with anatomical alignment, using props or variations to promote health, healing and mindfulness within the Ashtanga practice.

Linda is the founder and lead teacher at the prestigious yoga school: Ashtanga Yoga Paris. She has been practicing yoga since 1995, teaching since 2002 and training teachers since 2008. Her teaching is inspired by her specialty in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. She is commited to sharing yoga in a manner that respects the individual and her teaching is infused with studies of anatomy, therapeutic yoga, yoga philosophy and western psychology. 

Linda took her first yoga class in 1995 in Toronto, Canada with Ron Reid. But a couple of months later she was in a fairly serious car accident and had to have physical therapy. This is when she decided to use the yoga as a way to compliment the therapy. Soon after she realized that the yoga would be a life time practice. A practice of asana, pranayama and meditation but also a practice of being truthful, a practice of being kind, a practice of being fearless, peaceful and happy. She believes that the practice of “yoga” is continuous; the practice does not stop when you roll up the yoga mat. The practice of yoga includes the way you live your life, the way you relate to your family, friends, co-workers and to the strangers on the street. This is the life long practice of developing yogic awareness.
In 1996 she moved to New York City with her work in the fashion business while continuing a daily ashtanga practice studying under Eddie Stern. The year 2000 brought her to Paris, France. After thirteen years in the world of fashion she decided it was the time to move fully into the direction she had been moving since her first yoga class.
She felt a strong desire to sincerely give to others what her teachers have given to her; so in 2002 she started teaching yoga as her own study and practice continued. Gerald and Linda opened Ashtanga Paris in February 2004.
She studied yogic scriptures and philosophy, having completed a 250 hour study program of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, and a 120 hour course on the Bhagavad Gita under the supervision of Georg Feuerstein. She was one of his 10 mentoring students until he passed away in 2012. Linda is also a student of Sri O.P. Tiwari and is certified by him to teach pranayama. As well she has completed the anatomy for yoga training with Leslie Kaminoff and is a junior yoga anatomy trainer. Not to mention she has studied with the late guru of Ashtanga Yoga, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India and NYC.

Paige discovered yoga while cross-training for the Marine Corps Marathon over 13 ago, and has been practicing daily ever since. She soon found that yoga brings life into balance; it energizes, while grounding; it strengthens, while limbering; it encourages, while humbling; it is external, yet every bit internal. She has studied with Sharath Jois, Kino MacGregor, Tim Feldmann, Dena Kingsberg, David Robson, Jelena Vesic, Pedro Rubio, Maryl Baldridge, Jen Rene, & Michael Joel Hall (Ashtanga), David Kyle (Rocket), and Mimi Rieger (Power Vinyasa). She's been a daily Mysore-Style Ashtanga practitioner and teacher for 10 years, channeling many of the lessons learned on her mat while teaching.

Saturday Ritual: Full Primary + Talk

This class is specially designed for yogis who want to build strength and endurance to support and deepen their yoga practice.

We’ll begin with 45 minutes of strength training using weights or resistance bands to develop stability, power, and overall support for the body.

Right after, we’ll flow into a 45-minute yoga sequence inspired by Ashtanga, allowing the body to stretch, release tension, and find balance after the strengthening portion.

Please bring a couple of dumbbells or resistance bands, and of course, your yoga mat.

Emilia, originally from Colombia, began her yoga journey when her mother invited her to a class. Captivated by the depth of breath and the body’s ability to move in such transformative ways, she explored different styles of Vinyasa Yoga until she discovered Ashtanga.



With an athletic background and many years of teaching fitness, Emilia immediately fell in love with Ashtanga’s discipline and its use of the body as a tool for transformation. Her path led her to Miami, where she devoted herself fully to the practice under the guidance of Kino MacGregor, Tim Feldmann, and Greg Nardi at Miami Life Center, eventually completing their apprenticeship program. She also deepened her studies with several trips to India.



Alongside yoga, Emilia pursued fitness studies to better understand body mechanics and the importance of strength training for a sustainable practice. This inspired her to create her Wholesome Training—a program that blends resistance-based strength work with Ashtanga-inspired sequences, combining physical vitality with inner awareness.



Her mission is to guide students toward strength, balance, and self-compassion—helping them cultivate a kinder relationship with themselves and, in turn, with those around them.

Dr. Mariel Little is a lifelong lover of movement. She started a long career as an athlete at a young age and won multiple national titles in martial arts and volleyball. Yoga entered her life serendipitously in 2007 at a time when she needed it most, depleted from the rigors of a competitive lifestyle. She quickly became a dedicated student and studied with many wise teachers across different styles of practice. Mariel began teaching yoga after completing her first teacher training in 2013. Since then, she has participated in numerous other trainings, but she is most grateful for the opportunity to study with Richard Freeman & Mary Taylor in July 2022.

Inspired by the healing power of the yoga practice, Mariel completed a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from University of Colorado School of Medicine in 2019. Since then, she intentionally incorporates her skills as a yoga instructor into her work as a Physical Therapist, including yoga classes for specific populations with medical conditions. Outside of her full-time work as a PT, Mariel continues to teach and study yoga. She is the founder of the Sangha Yoga Project and runs a private physical therapy practice specializing in yoga-related injuries and pain. Mariel's yoga classes regularly integrate concepts of physical therapy so that students build strength and mobility for a more confident and resilient yoga practice. She looks forward to seeing you on the mat soon!

This class involves mostly seated & supine postures that passively stretch the body to release tension in the connective tissues and joints. Props such as pillows, blankets, bolsters, and blocks are recommended for this class.

Yin Bliss

This class introduces the core breathing techniques of Ashtanga pranayama, including Ujjayi, alternate nostril breathing, and the use of internal locks (bandhas). Through guided practice, you’ll learn to calm the nervous system, balance energy, and connect deeply with the breath.

Edgar Navarro is the Director of Miami Life Center, a dedicated Ashtanga
practitioner and teacher whose path has been shaped by years of study under
some of the most respected names in modern yoga. A direct student of
Paramaguru Sharath Jois, Edgar’s teaching is rooted in the traditional
Ashtanga method as it continues to be transmitted from Mysore, India. He
has also studied extensively under Tim Feldmann and Kino MacGregor, whose
mentorship helped refine both his personal practice and his approach to
sharing the method with others.
With a deep commitment to the breath as the bridge between body and mind,
Edgar has studied Pranayama for many years under the guidance of Mark
Linksman—a long-time student of Tim Miller. This subtle yet powerful practice
informs much of his teaching, offering students tools to deepen awareness,
balance the nervous system, and access inner stillness.
Complementing his strong foundation in Ashtanga, Edgar is also trained in Yin
Yoga under Jo Phee, a senior student of Paul Grilley. His Yin classes offer a
meditative counterpoint to the dynamic structure of Ashtanga, inviting
students into deep release and introspection through long-held, supported
postures.
Whether teaching Mysore, led classes, pranayama, or Yin, Edgar's approach
is attentive, grounded, and inspired by the living tradition of yoga. He holds
space for students to move inward, refine their awareness, and cultivate a
steady, sustainable practice—on and off the mat.

Pranayama Foundations

Dive into the World of Ashtanga in a thoughtful manner. The class starts with sun salutations and the standing postures, followed by the seated asanas up to Janu Sirsasana. We will learn the count, learn to modify the poses if needed and how to use props in a way that they support our practice. So this class is very beginner friendly but also highly recommended for people who already have an existing ashtanga practice and don’t have much time. The finish sequence at the end of every class will help us to calm our nervous system and relax afterwards.

I am grounded in a daily Mysore and Dharma yoga practice. I also love and train hand balancing, rock climbing, and dance; all of it is intuitive movement. It's all love. I am happy to offer yoga classes, movement retreats, workshops, and intensives in the United States, Bali, Costa Rica, Mexico, India, Europe, and the Caribbean.
My life calling and practice has led me to travel the world and immerse myself fully in yoga and meditation through villages in India, Indonesia, Portugal, the crisp blue Caribbean waters, and the heart of Miami Beach. With extensive training as a Psychologist in Social Emotional Development (Ph.D.), Women’s Studies (Graduate Certificate), Reiki, Magnified Healing, and Oneness Awakening, my classes utilize a keen awareness of the intellectual, emotional, and energetic body to empower those who practice consistently, for a long period of time, with devotion.

Mindful Mobility

Keep the momentum of your practice up by drawing on the energy of our community and expert guidance. After practice, we will have a talk on yoga and we will wrap up by taking some of your questions!

The foundation of the Buddhist path begins with four powerful reflections that transform how we understand life, death, action, and suffering.

Known as the Four Mind-Changings — or the “common preliminaries” — these contemplations turn the mind toward practice and open the heart to wisdom and compassion.

In this four-week series, Cory guides you through: The preciousness of human life, Impermanence and death, Karma and interdependence, Samsara and dukkha. 

Each session includes teachings, guided meditation, and practical reflections to support integration into daily life. This series will offer a clear, grounded entry into the heart of Buddhist practice.

In 2009 after teaching a yoga class in Washington, DC a student approached and asked Cory if he would like to be the yoga teacher on a 10-day trip to Nepal. He accepted the offer on the spot and in 2010 went on his first Nepal adventure. It changed the course of his life. 

Fast forward to 2019 and he has resigned from a “successful” career as a PhD Scientist/International Policy Expert at the FDA and moved to Nashville to open a yoga studio (Yoga Shala Nashville). In the interim years (between 2010 - 2017) he returned to Nepal four more times to co-lead this pilgrimage – each time taking on a bigger role. Then covid happened and travel plans were stalled. It was during that time that he was given the opportunity to take over, rebranding as The Spiritual Pilgrim. In 2022, after the covid hiatus, pilgrimages resumed and now TSP has expanded to offer multiple pilgrimages each year — including to India and Bhutan!

Cory is a highly experienced (20+ years) yoga teacher and meditator. He is honored to serve as the pilgrimage leader, meditation teacher (and sometimes yoga teacher) for TSP programs. He guides in the style of the Tergar tradition of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche and is continually working to develop his own practice and teaching skills.  He is a member of the 2024-5 class of the Tergar Meditation Teacher Program.
