Restored is the new Advanced

In an era that prizes productivity and constant movement, nothing is more advanced than learning to be still. That’s why restorative yoga is the new advanced practice—it challenges us to slow down, turn inward, and cultivate true presence.

Kind Words From Students

I loved how Erick took the time to explain and make sure we all had great form. Sometimes instructors take themselves too seriously and make yoga intimidating. Erick did a great job of balancing and making this a great learning environment.
Wonderful flow, such a relaxing, safe, and comfortable way to spend my evening. I would absolutely go again, Erick is so mindful and knowledgeable.
Erick’s Beginner series is perfect for newcomers. His clear teaching style made learning easy, and I felt supported and safe throughout
Participating in Erick’s mindfulness series was a profound experience. He has a gift for creating a safe, welcoming space where I could truly connect with myself and develop lasting mindfulness habits
Erick's restorative yoga training is a masterclass! I learned so much. Their thoughtful guidance really helped me to share rest meaningfully with others.
No one expects the restorative teacher to also teach a kick-ass flow, but Erick is the best.
I am floating home. I can't thank you enough for tonight's restorative yoga class. It was exactly what I needed, and I didn't know I needed it.
