Rick is an experienced registered yoga teacher and paddle board enthusiast. On land, Rick focuses primarily on teaching private and small group vinyasa yoga. On the water, he brings this same student focused philosophy to SUP yoga. A former academic with a scruffy beard, heavily tattooed skin, and sarcastic sense of humor, he might not come off as a Lululemon model, but he is dedicated to providing his students with the best possible yoga experience, SUP or otherwise. Rick is an E-RYT 200/RYT 500 level yoga teacher, a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP), and has additional certificates in SUP Yoga and Yin Yoga. Rick also holds a Bachelors degree in social anthropology from the University of Louisville, as well as a Masters degree in Anthropology and a Masters in Public Health, both from Michigan State University.
