Teaches at Bird Rock Yoga

Hi, I am Tim DeWees and I love sharing the practice of yoga. When I first started practicing yoga, it was very challenging for me in several ways. I thought, this can’t be for me – my body doesn’t move like that, I am too inflexible, and I am too impatient. However, after a few classes with some amazing teachers, I noticed my body beginning to open up and my flexibility, strength, and stability already beginning to improve. My mind stopped racing from one thought to the next, and I began to slow down, seeing the world more clearly and having more focus on the people and things that are truly important to me. It became the most transformational experience in my entire life. My prior challenges became my strengths and I’ve never felt better physically, mentally, and spiritually. 

My 200-hour Vinyasa yoga teacher training, Yin yoga teacher training, personal trainer certification, and continuous study of anatomy and positive psychology have given me the tools to provide a knowledgeable, empowering, and calming space for students to explore their mind and body. It is so satisfying and meaningful to me when students share their hearts and smiles with one another. And I believe the awareness, mindfulness and gratitude cultivated on the yoga mat transcends into every part of our lives.
