David stumbled upon yoga at a company gym in 2005. He noticed how he felt better both physically and mentally after just a few classes, immediately drawn to how yoga helped balance work/life stress. He was hooked, and his practice deepened as he continued his exploration on the various styles during his years in NYC.
He moved back to the Boston area, and jumped right into a 200hr certification with two very inspiring teachers, Claire and Gregor. He completed his certification in August 2013, and soon after, found Broga® Yoga in Fall 2013, where he was amazed by the intense energy of the class and how the welcoming environment for guys, and is now a proud member of the Broga® Yoga instructor team. He loves sharing his experience and knowledge with others and in creating the welcoming space for all.
When he is not on the mat practicing or teaching, he analyzes large complex systems, doing what he can to make them more reliable. David holds a M.S in System Engineering from JHU, and currently lives in Somerville, MA.
Tim found yoga at mid-life. After trying a number of different yoga styles, he walked into a steamy power yoga class and hasn’t been the same since. It was a reincarnation of sorts. After that class he was “… physically exhausted, emotionally elated, calm, and content at the same time. [He] felt alive.” For Tim, now everything is done through the lens and practice of yoga. “I come to practice to get grounded; to be challenged; to clear away the cruft and toxins we all come in contact with day to day. I’m rarely disappointed. I always leave class refreshed, smiling and a more loving human being than I was before class; just ask my kids.”
Tim went on to become a 200 hour registered yoga teacher through O2 Yoga in Somerville, MA where he taught for a couple of years before competing commitments and a debilitating back injury curtailed his practice and teaching. He has continued his study with well over 300 hours of training from many internationally known yoga teachers.
Tim is very excited to be part of the Broga® Team and it’s mission to bring the lifelong benefits of yoga to more men. He is also a certified health coach. You can check him out at Tim Griffin : Health Coach.
