I wouldn't have a yoga practice if it weren't for Keric! My acupuncturist had recommended I try yoga for sciatica, but otherwise I had no interest in doing yoga. But I was drawn to Keric's down to earth personality, as well as the like-minded people he draws around him. I appreciate the versatility of Keric's class themes. His themes are very grounded and can relate to the body, mind, emotions, spirit, however I see fit. In terms of the physical practice, Keric's teaching style is disciplined and unwavering - I know what to expect from class as well as what he expects of his students. In the several years I have been practicing with Keric, my yoga practice has changed me physically and mentally. I learned the benefit of discipline and that it's possible to grow in ways I thought impossible.

“I have practiced with Keric regularly for eight years and I have never taken a class with him that did not challenge and reward me. Keric teaches universal principles consistently, and yet somehow makes every class feel unique. He is always offering new perspectives and showing us new ways of exploring our practice. Practicing with Keric is like an adventure that never ends.”

“I've been practicing yoga with Keric for two years. Before joining his Zoom classes, I had very little to zero experience with yoga. And, what started as a plan to keep somehow active during the quarantine and pandemic, became one of the things that I want to continue doing, and always try to protect time for. One of the things that I love the most about Keric's classes is his feedback--no matter how many people are in the class, I've always felt that he really cares about me and each of his students. Keric is kind, gentle, patient and has shown me that yoga is also all those things for my body and spirit.”

“ I cannot say enough good things about Keric Morinaga and the way he teaches yoga. Over the past 5+ years, I have followed Keric from studio to studio in LA (and now to Zoom) for more than five years because he is just THAT GOOD. He is a calm, sensible, smart, compassionate instructor who thinks carefully about how to craft a journey in each class. My favorite thing about Keric is that he has a way of making small but meaningful form corrections inside each pose, little by little, and suddenly you are in the PERFECT place to get the most satisfying stretch ever. He does not rush through poses. And I will also add that he has a great blend of "science and art" when it comes to his teaching style. As a scientist and academic myself, I value the spirituality and sense of self-exploration in yoga, but sometimes teachers come off too woo-woo or out there for me. Not Keric. He is fact-based and practical while blending in just enough spirit to touch your heart.”
- Dr. Chantal Young, PhD

“Keric's yoga classes are like no other. He seamlessly weaves expert alignment, yoga philosophy, and heart centered instruction to create a class that is the perfect mix of workout and introspection. One of my favorite parts of his class is that I always feel seen, even on zoom. Keric has a gift for making each student feel like they are a valued member of his community. He is one of the most skilled yoga teachers I have known in my almost 3 decades of practice. When you come to Keric's class you will be challenged in just the right way, going beyond what you may have thought possible without fully leaving your comfort zone.”
