Yoga Gives Back is proactively working to shift the often complex and contradictory inequities embedded in indian culture – particularly relating to empowering women and children. Along with the beautiful and rich traditions birthed in mother India, there is also much need for growth and change. Yoga gives back is working in a myriad of ways on behalf of some of those needed changes. I’m grateful for an opportunity to support an organization that moves energy back into a culture that has given and continues to give us all so much.
Timothy currently teaches Ashtanga Yoga at Atha in Berkeley, CA and has been guiding Mysore communities for ten years and teaching yoga for fifteen. 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. He is grateful for the support and guidance of Eddie Stern, Rolf and Marci Naujokat, Sharath Jois, Sharmila Desai, Peter Sanson, Dr. Nagaraja Rao, and the late S.N. Goenka of the Vipassana tradition.
