# Yoga — Erik the Yogi

I’m Erik the Yogi, a registered yoga teacher. I’ve lived and worked on three continents, and I teach in a way that’s vibrant, playful, and easy to follow, with a little mindfulness, yogic principle, subtle energy, or anatomy when it helps. I want students to live well through balance, in body, mind, and spirit. Come flow with me in Austin and online.

## Sessions

### 01. Private Asana Practice

Refine alignment, deepen your relationship with postures, and move at a pace that actually belongs to your body.

### 02. Private Pranayama Practice

Use breath as a lever for nervous-system calm, clean energy, and the kind of stillness that stays with you.

### 03. Mindfulness Walk & Talk

Step outside the studio and into a guided conversation that brings presence, movement, and perspective together.
