Derek was first introduced to yoga shortly after playing collegiate football at Towson University  A fellow teammate recommended he try it and although reluctant at first the physical workout far exceeded his expectations  As a result of his practice Derek realized that how he thought and handled things off the mat began to shift  As he practiced he discovered benefits that went beyond the physical  He learned to be available to all the sensations and feelings that arise within the practice His willingness to shift how he handled discomfort on the mat has made a profound impact on how he handles challenging situations in his life Within a few months he completed teacher training and turned yoga into his career  I&#;m an example that anything is possible     Derek has completed his hour teacher training with Sid McNairy and has completed Baptiste Level and Level training along with the Baptiste Art Of Assisting program Derek has also studied for years with Patty Ivey which has furthered his ability to be a leader in his life  In his teaching Derek wants to give his students the feeling that there are no limits to where they can go on the mat in hopes that they grow confident in their everyday lives.
