Derek Haigler (he/him)

A Baton Rouge, LA native, Derek currently resides in Austin, TX with his husband, Wesley. Derek has been practicing yoga for about a decade. Derek completed his 200 hour yoga teacher training through Asheville Yoga Center (AYC). After seeing too many impacts of a negative work/life balance with almost a decade of working in Corporate America, Derek's yoga mission is to help humans from all walks of life find balance in life through yoga, regardless of their financial or physical ability. Hence, why he founded Yoga for All Humans! 

Derek’s teaching style is gentle with plenty of alternative pose options throughout practice. His motto is “No pain, no gain - that’s bullshit!” He truly believes that yoga should be unique to the individual and we should never strive for perfection in poses; we’re perfect just as we are on the mat in the moment.
