Ty is a yoga teacher based in New York City. He has taught classes, workshops, trainings and retreats all over the world in Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston, New York, Toronto, Italy and Cape Town. You can find him at The Studio and Skyting in New York, where he spends his time teaching and drinking tea.

He believes that with the right tools we all have the capacity for great insight, the ability to use our time to unearth our personal narratives and alter our trajectories, and the responsibility to remain hopeful. Ty grounds heady, esoteric, and spiritual material in a practical and deeply therapeutic physical practice. Lensed through the Katonah Yoga® canon, Ty's teaching blends techniques from Hatha yoga, Taoist philosophy, and theoretical components of Chinese Medicine.

Having had a yoga and meditation practice since he was a teenager, Ty incorporates a kaleidoscope of personal reference and banter in his classes. From the esotericism of mountain climbing to what it means to use your yoga practice as a tool for self-cultivation, Ty’s ability to play with and integrate theoretical information underpins his teaching. He is passionate about the way we use language to communicate, reconcile a dilemma and tell a story. His teaching philosophy is centered around the use of a good metaphor that connects us to a universal idea, and that a teacher’s role is not to fix but to re-orient. He considers teaching part of living an artful life.

Ty is a certified Katonah Yoga® teacher, E-RYT200 and Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider. He lives in New York with his husband and their dog. Reach out over email, tyrone13watson@gmail.com, or @tywtsn on Instagram.
