DERRICK CALDWELL
Derrick's yoga journey began in 2011 as a mix of curiosity and a desire to develop healthy lifestyle practices. It didn't take long before he was doing headstands on any wall he could find. After some time exploring yoga philosophy he found ashtanga yoga. Ashtanga is known as a more intense, somewhat regimented practice and would become Derrick's primary practice for several years. In that time, he studied with Ashtangis Todd Boman, Day Christensen, Richard Freeman.
Derrick also explored acrobatics and Thai massage during this time which was surprisingly supplementary to his yoga practice and bodywork in general. Working with children and teenagers in the Kenwood area in Chicago, Derrick saw how yoga transformed his life and thought the folks in his community deserved to have access to this knowledge too.
In 2016, Derrick earned his teacher certification from Moksha Yoga Center giving him access to teach in yoga studios. However, as popular as yoga was at that time, there were no studios in his neighborhood. He had already begun teaching in parks, schools, art galleries, and anywhere people could gather and take space on the floor.
Derrick's teaching style is accessible, works to be as accommodating to all body types and ages, and borrows from the different styles of movement he has learned. Understanding that every movement or asana has a subtle internal process, we all may not be able to put our feet behind our head or sit in lotus, but we can still extract the lessons in breaking such things down.
