Yoga

Eryck has been teaching yoga since 2014, following a successful dance career in the UK and internationally. Initially turning to yoga to maintain his physical health, Eryck's interest in the practice quickly deepened, leading him to pursue formal training. In 2013, he began his studies with the renowned teacher Claire Missingham and further advanced his training with her in 2018. In addition to his training with Missingham, Eryck has studied yoga and meditation under Dr. ALV Kumar. This mentorship has provided him with a profound appreciation for the purity of authentic traditions and the scientific principles of yoga preserved by ancient lineages. Eryck integrates these timeless teachings into his classes, offering a balanced and holistic approach that resonates with students.

In his classes, students can expect expertly crafted sequencing, the incorporation of krama vinyasa plus mindful assists. Eryck emphasizes precise and detailed anatomical alignment, ensuring that each student gains a comprehensive understanding of the practice. His teaching style is both nurturing and challenging, encouraging students to explore their potential while honouring their journey.

Eryck is dedicated to expanding the reach of yoga through specialized events and workshops. He conducts trainings and retreats both in the UK and abroad, providing participants with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the practice in diverse and inspiring settings.

Portugal Yoga Retreat May 24 - 29 2025

Join us in May 2025 for an enriching five-night retreat of yoga, meditation, mantra, and pranayama in a breathtaking Portuguese valley, where two rivers converge. This retreat offers the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and rejuvenate from the demands of daily life.

Each day will feature two yoga workshops, encompassing asana, meditation, pranayama, and mantra, all led by Eryck, an experienced yoga teacher and retreat leader. This structured program is designed to deepen your practice and enhance your well-being.

Your stay will provide ample opportunities to connect with the natural surroundings: relax by the natural infinity pool, gaze at the stars from the hot tub, or invigorate yourself in the sauna. Enjoy evenings singing around the fire pit, detoxify your skin with locally sourced clay before rinsing in the river, or unwind with a book on our private beach. For the more adventurous, explore the Mondego River by stand-up paddleboard, take a rock jump, or enjoy a leisurely swim in the creek.

Yoga sessions will be held in both our cosy indoor shala and the panoramic outdoor shala, offering diverse environments for practice. Additionally, you can hike to a nearby waterfall, visit the Neolithic Dolmen site, or indulge in a holistic therapy of your choice.

Savour garden-to-table vegetarian meals, thoughtfully prepared with seasonal and organic ingredients by our intuitive retreat chef, Hannah. This culinary experience complements the retreat's holistic approach, nourishing both body and soul.

This retreat promises a transformative experience, blending the serenity of nature with the profound benefits of yoga and meditation.
