Join Éric this Fall for “Own Your Practice”, a 10 week course to make you more confident and independent in your own yoga practice! Tailored for yogis who are interested in exploring key themes of the modern yoga world within a group container, the course offers weekly 2h sessions of practice, theory, and discussions.
These questions and more will be addressed:
- Will I ever be flexible or strong enough to be a “good yogi”?
- How can I sustainably build my personal practice?
- How can I adapt what I’m taught so that it fits me better?
- How are my habits and values reflected in my practice?
- What are the dynamics at play in a yoga class?
This course will help shape your personal practice into something that stays adapted to your needs and desires throughout your life.
What you will get from this course:
- being part of a group of curious and committed yogis
- practice in a safe container with a mix of structure and freedom
- exploration of key paradigms of modern yoga using yogic teachings, science, and critical thinking
- weekly summary emails and recording of sessions (don’t stress if you miss a session)
- reading and watching material to deepen the explored topics

Éric worked for a decade in computer security, and one day randomly stepped into a studio for his first yoga class. He ended up crying during Shavasana. A few years later he started teaching in that same studio, yellow yoga. You can find his teacher manifesto here.
