Timo Jimenez is the founder and director of Yogapada, a community of dedicated "Yogins" residing in Portland, Oregon. Yogapada was founded in 1995, and since has been providing a place in which to study an innovative approach to the practice of Classical Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

 

As a teacher Timo's core principle is: "Teach what is inside us, not as it applies to one-self, but as it applies to the other." To support students in finding their inner teacher. He strongly believes that Yoga should be adapted to the individual, rarely the individual to Yoga. For this reason, each student will have a slightly different approach to the practice.

"At Yogapada we have created an understanding of Yoga relevant for a broad spectrum of students. It is our intention as a Patashala" (School of Yoga), to forge a bridge between the knowledge and wisdom of Yoga and transmitting this to a student base via our individual talents and experience as applied to the changing values of modern lifestyles. By incorporating rather than rejecting ancient and intuitive wisdom's, we are creating individual Yoga practices that are as accurate and powerful as they are relevant and practical".
