I teach yoga online, on-demand, and in-person.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A long time ago (2013), in a Galaxy far, far away (Urth Yoga) I met @kericyoga as a new yoga practitioner. I took his advanced class and thought, “This is too hard. We’re holding this pose forever! I can’t do this. Never again.”

Now, as a teacher myself, I can clearly see - Keric did exactly what any incredible teacher should do - he brought out the inner me that needed to be seen, heard and held. After that class, I decided to go back and it wasn’t as hard! So I came back and back and many classes, teacher trainings and Yoga Rave’s later - here we are.

Because Keric doesn’t just teach a class, he creates a space for you to experience yourself on the mat. To keep our 3 A’s theme, here are mine for Keric…

1. ANCHOR. I love Keric bc he is an anchor, not just to me but to SO many students. His classes hold such a grounding, safe, familiar space. It’s the stability that leads to freedom. Through all the years of ups and downs, wins, loses, sickness, health, Keric has seen and remembers his students’ lives. His presence and teachings provide a touchstone of consistency in the inconsistency of life.

2. ALCHEMIST. I love Keric bc he nerds out on the science of yoga. He can bring inaccessible “woo woo” spirituality and philosophical concepts of yoga and create a Universal theme that magically becomes accessible to the everyday yogi. He is a master Yoda yogi mind who can connect any individual to the One seemingly effortlessly. I’ve experienced this at Slip-n-Slide yoga, Superhero Yoga, Yoga Raves, and the Anusara chant - connecting singular voices as a whole.

3. ALTRUIST. I love Keric bc what he does, he does from the heart. You can feel he truly cares for Kula (community) and the individual student too. Whether he’s at the climbing gym, a studio or rating a cheeseburger joint, he is a humble warrior leader. Like the Bhagavad Gita says, he does the work for the sake of the work. Bc he knows the reward is in the doing of it. He makes an incredible yoga partner and dear friend for this reason.

Looking back at that first class, my internal struggle wasn’t with Keric at all. Keric had given me a map back to myself. And now we get to travel forward together.

@theginabrown suggested that we call our little collaboration ‘Chit Ananda Yoga’ and I said ‘great’ because I thought she was naming us after my 2019 yoga teacher training which I also called ‘Chit Ananda Yoga.’ But Gina did not know that. So we independently each came up with the name ‘Chit Ananda Yoga’ seven years apart. What do you think of our name? Who represents chit and who represents ananda? We are all both chit and ananda, but our lives might manifest a little more of one than the other! Which one are you? - @kericyoga

@theginabrown leads a short breath focused meditation and @kericyoga sits and does nothing. Try this short meditation and let us know if you are able to quiet your mind by focusing on your breath.

Summer officially ended a couple weeks ago but things are heating up again in Southern California and at Chit Ananda Yoga. We are busy creating little yoga lessons to share and having a blast along the way. Collaborating at the beach is one way that we try to beat the heat. How are you staying cool this fall?

Meet Keric Morinaga.

Keric’s path to yoga began unexpectedly after a shoulder injury led him to discover a practice that transformed far more than his body. Teaching since 2006, he brings a grounded, heart-centered approach that blends thoughtful alignment, philosophy, humor, and authenticity.

In Vira Yoga, vira meaning “hero” or “spiritual warrior”, you’ll explore strength, courage, and presence through intentional movement, refined alignment, and meaningful reflection. Expect to leave feeling empowered, connected, and inspired to embody your own inner hero and warrior.

Join Keric on the mat:

✨ Mondays & Thursdays • 10:30 AM
✨ Saturdays • 9:00 AM

We can’t wait for you to meet him. 🤍

Keric Morinaga 🌿 Vira Yoga ⚡️ Saturdays 9-10:30am Mondays + Thursdays 10:30-11:45am 💫

Vira Yoga—derived from the Sanskrit word vira, meaning “hero” or “spiritual warrior”—invites you into a heart-centered practice rooted in courage, authenticity, and inner strength.

This class integrates movement, alignment, and meaningful philosophy through a life-affirming Tantric lens. Each practice weaves together themes of intrinsic goodness, self-discovery, and intention, encouraging students to embody the qualities of the vira: steady, open-hearted, and fully present.

Through a thoughtfully sequenced flow, students are guided by the Universal Principles of Alignment to build strength, stability, and openness. A philosophical focus is woven into each class, offering space for reflection, inspiration, and practical application both on and off the mat.

Expect a balanced experience that blends dynamic movement with mindful pauses—creating opportunities to refine alignment, deepen awareness, and step into your own inner resilience. Open to all levels, this class supports growth at every stage of the journey.

Leave feeling empowered and expansive—grounded in body, uplifted in spirit, and connected to the courageous heart within.
