Upcoming Workshops and Events
Many dedicated students appreciate an opportunity to dive deeper into the practice and teachings of Yoga. Timothy offers a number of different workshops that allows students to look at the 'how' and 'why' of our practice. Check out these opportunities in Asheville and beyond.
New Moon Sound Bath
We will use the potent, transformative energy of the New Moon in Libra to restore balance and harmony and open the heart to compassion and connection. Boundaries are the medicine of this new moon, and we will use simple movement, breathwork, meditation, and a 60-minute sound bath to restrain over-giving, return home to your true self, and drop deep into a state of dreamlike rest.
We'll begin by grounding our energy and strengthening boundaries and self-awareness through simple Kriya movements, followed by Pranayama to create safety, soothe the nervous system, and invite inner peace. We will transition into a calming 60-minute sound immersion, and we will end with a loving-kindness meditation to open the heart with compassion and seal our intentions at the start of this new cycle.
Sound baths promote deep release and relaxation, and entrain our brainwaves to shift into a dreamlike state. This gentle, grounding practice is open to everybody—no experience needed. Come as you are, tired or wired or somewhere in between. We'll provide a yoga mat, along with cushions and blankets. Just wear something comfortable and bring your water bottle.
Sign Up →Samskara & Synapse: Yoga to Rewire Your Brain
Recent studies in neurobiology reveal how yoga can influence the creation, strengthening, and changing of the brain's neural pathways. This workshop offers a diverse toolkit of yoga practices, informed by modern research, to help rewire unconscious and unhealthy habit patterns.
In yoga, our unconscious habit patterns are known as samskaras. Yogis and modern science agree that when these patterns repeat, the brain's synaptic connections strengthen and speed up until they run as automatic habits rather than conscious choices, and that these patterns can be changed. This workshop draws on pranayama, asana, kriya, mudra, vairagya (non-attachment), tapas (disciplined effort), and drishti (focal point) to work with that process directly.
You'll learn what samskaras are in yogic philosophy and how they relate to neuroplasticity, how breath practices, mudras, and drishti can down-regulate the nervous system, how sustained isometric asana holds function as engineered mastery experiences, and how to use the neuroplastic pause, the brief gap between a trigger and your habitual reaction, to strengthen a new pathway.
Sign Up →Full Moon Sound Bath
We will use the grounding and transformative energy of the Hunter's Moon as an invitation to slow down, drop into the body, and surrender to emotional release. As autumn deepens and nature begins its movement inward, this Full Moon offers a sturdy container for deep inner work and a powerful invitation to reflect on what we are ready to let go of.
We'll begin by centering our energy and settling into our bodies through simple Kriya movements, followed by Pranayama to release tension, soothe the nervous system, and invite inner peace. We will transition into a calming 60-minute sound immersion, and we will end with a gratitude meditation to seal our intentions as the moon rises.
Sound baths promote deep release and relaxation, and entrain our brainwaves to shift into a dreamlike state. This gentle, grounding practice is open to everybody—no experience needed. Come as you are, tired or wired or somewhere in between. We'll provide a thick foam sound bath mat, along with cushions and blankets. Just wear something comfortable and bring your water bottle.
Sign Up →The Art of Sound Healing
We welcome you to Asheville Art Museum to embrace the fullness of the fall season, to turn inward, root into stillness, and shed what no longer serves us. This morning sanctuary at the Museum offers space to rest, quiet the mind, and dream new intentions into existence. We will use breathwork, meditation, and a 50-minute sound bath to let go of old habits, attachments, and grief, and to drop deep into a state of profound, restorative rest.

Please bring a yoga mat or pad, along with anything else to make you comfortable, like a bolster, cushion or blanket. Wear something comfortable and bring your water bottle.
Sign Up →Slow Flow & Sound Bath for Grounding & Gratitude
Cultivate gratitude and grounding as you move through a slow flowing Vinyasa practice of backbends and rooted standing poses. Then surrender into deep rest and renewal with a soothing sound bath with singing bowls, gongs, rainsticks, tongue drums, and chimes.
When we feel gratitude, we feel full, abundant, and blessed. When we feel grounded, we feel present, calm, centered, and clear-headed. This slow flowing vinyasa sequence focuses on upper back bends and stable, rooted standing asanas to summon both. An hour-long sound bath follows to further ground, nourish, calm, and balance your body, heart, and mind.
Sound baths promote deep release and relaxation, and entrain our brainwaves to shift into a dreamlike state. We'll close with an integration practice to help carry that sense of grounding and gratitude with you after the workshop ends.
Sign Up →Solstice Sound Bath with Timothy Burgin & Rivers Whittle
Join us for a Solstice Sound Bath, an evening of immersive healing music from two talented sound bath practitioners, Timothy Burgin and Rivers Whittle. They will weave their distinct instruments and traditions into a shared soundscape, creating a layered magical sound journey.
The winter solstice, the longest night of the year, invites you to slow down, honor your inner light, and set intentions for the season ahead. We will start with a warming and energizing breathwork session and ease into the sound bath with a guided meditation to calm the body and quiet the mind. Give yourself the gift of deep rest and relaxation during this busy and hectic time of year.
