About Still Standing Yoga
Our Story
Still Standing Yoga is a haven of resilience and mindfulness in Miami, born from the journey of its founder, Erik. Hailing from NYC, Erik’s path was shaped by the city’s relentless energy and his years serving in the army, where he learned discipline, perseverance, and the power of staying grounded under pressure. These experiences fuel his yoga practice, blending strength and serenity to help you rise above life’s challenges—whether on the mat in South Beach, Brickell, Coral Gables, or virtually via Zoom.
What We Offer
We bring personalized yoga to every body with private sessions in your home, group classes for any community, gentle Chair Yoga for seniors and beginners, beach yoga events like Sunrise Flow and Sunset Candlelit Unwind on South Beach, and Zoom classes for global access. Erik, a 200-hour certified instructor with 5 years of experience, crafts each 60-minute session to your goals, offering packages like single passes, 3/5/10-class packs, and monthly unlimited options (5 days/week) to fit your lifestyle.
Our Values

Meet Erik
Erik’s yoga journey began amidst the chaos of NYC, deepened by his army service, where he discovered yoga’s ability to center and strengthen both body and mind. Trained under Michele Pernetta with a 200-hour certification, Erik brings 5 years of teaching expertise in Hatha, Vinyasa, Bikram-inspired, Power, and Yin styles. Supported by a small team of local instructors, he ensures every session—from a private class in Brickell to a beach sunrise flow—empowers you to stand stronger.
