In 2004-2005, Timothy was a scholar in residence at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, Massachusetts, where he completed the manuscript for Yoga as Medicine. The book, an ecumenical look at therapeutic yoga, provides an overview of the entire field, and features the work of some of the leading lights in yoga in the U.S. including Gary Kraftsow, John Friend, Judith Hanson Lasater, Nischala Joy Devi, Shanti Shanti Kaur Khalsa, Rolf Sovik, Aadil Palkhivala, Richard Freeman, and Patricia Walden.

The articles on back pain and insomnia were both published in slightly different form in New Age Journal (later renamed Body and Soul magazine). Common Misconceptions About Yoga was a Bottom Line Health column. Thinking of Starting Yoga--How to Find the Right Teacher and Could Yoga Help You Get Better were both originally published by a now defunct internet health site. The Redbook article was written when Timothy was a contributing editor at that magazine.
