Erick Thuss

Erick Thuss started learning yoga in 1996 under Gayna Uransky in the tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar. She turned him on to the profound nature of regular practice, and he is forever indebted to her for his foundation. During his three years with her, he was introduced to an outstanding teacher John Smith, who taught him in the vinyasa tradition of K. Pattabhi Jois. Erick studies under John to this day with great benefit.

Erick has studied regularly under Eddie Modestini and Nicki Doane, and their work challenges him to look and re-look, to explore in the practice, to seek tradition.

Currently, he is studying under Manouso Manos. Erick is humbled and inspired by what he's learning and is working to digest what he can of the sheer brilliance of Manouso's teaching.

Erick recently spent time studying under B.K.S, Prashant, and Geeta Iyengar in Pune, and is mind-blown...

He approaches yoga with reverence and curiosity, and is captivated by the way yoga teaches. Erick's classes reflect what is alive in his personal practice and what he is learning from his teacher. He aims to encourage students along the stream of yoga, progressively moving them deeper in an area of focus, with the aim on sparking connectivity.
