Derek’s combination of personal experience and his own relentless quest to learn about yoga creates a learning atmosphere that evokes our own self-study. My ability to manage stress has greatly improved thanks to his instruction. I also have less pain because I’ve learned to “under-achieve” like a champ!

Derek really helped me understand yoga’s true nature. Just that alone is the greatest teaching Derek Kendrick has given me. It was a beautiful life experience I will forever remember.

I visited many schools, studios and gyms, until I found Derek. I knew immediately that this was the place that would help me learn how to practice. I am so happy to embark on the next leg of my yoga journey, but will remember fondly all the days with Derek, with wonderful yogic, like minded souls.
