DERRICK
Derrick has immersed himself for many years in the professional world of architecture and design. While he strongly values responsive, purposeful and sustainable design that integrates creativity and integrity, he also began searching for a holistic value system to sustain his own well being. Derrick has been expanding his journey of discovery, learning and transformation through a blend of Yoga and ontological coaching that somatically supports the well being across physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual domains through the simple yet complex notion of shifting and expanding the observer.
Derrick believes that there are enlivening opportunities for transformation to uncover at the boundaries between where we are and where we grow. In observing the yoga and coaching practices as a reflection of life, he continues to reframe the layered context of being with openness, acceptance, appreciation and gratitude.
His approach to learning, sharing and teaching is that of courage, compassion and curiosity. He is also intrigued by the balanced action of Sthira Sukha which embodies steadiness with ease, where in finding a natural extension of who you are and what you are, there is lightness, clarity, flow and alignment with the universe.
Derrick has completed 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and has attended workshops with teachers such as Noah Maze, Rocky Heron, Mark Robberbs, Jade Wood and George Anthony. Derrick has also trained with notable Yoga teacher Baron Baptiste and completed 100 hour Baptiste Institute Level One - Journey Into Power.

She hopes to bring fun and energy into her flowy vinyasa sequences and invites everyone to come along and have a good time on the mat!
