Welcome to Harmonise
Harmonise offers Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, breathing and meditation taught by Tim Nel, who trained originally in karate as a child. After completing his B. Bus Sci Marketing Honours from UCT, Tim spent 2 years in South Korea, where he furthered his martial arts training, practicing Hapkido* for one year and Aikido** for one year. His love of martial arts soon transformed into a love of yoga.
After 3.5 years in the exhibitions industry, Tim left for India, where he trained in Rishikesh to become a certified yoga instructor. He now operates a small branding agency called Timo Branding Solutions. Tim has also completed two nutrition courses online through the Universities of Copenhagen and California respectively – the knowledge gained from these courses forms part of the holistic approach to yoga and healing which Harmonise offers.
“I am fascinated with psychology and spirituality and am constantly refining my perception of reality – which is a somewhat Buddhist approach. I share insights and observations from teachings that I have studied in my classes and aim to cultivate a sense of presence which students can take away with them. I believe that becoming centered, peaceful and in harmony with life is the true purpose of yoga. I hope to energize and be part of that shift in awareness.”
*Hapkido is a Korean martial art – focused on grabs/locks/kicks and falling techniques
** Aikido is a Japanese martial art – focused on becoming one with your opponent and redirecting their energy away from yourself in an attempt to avoid harm to both parties
