Please welcome our new teacher to the hive, Ernie Hackney!
Ernie is originally a native of Nashville, TN, and moved to Tyler in 2018 for an opportunity to work with one of the local healthcare systems. He was introduced to yoga in 2023 as part of a self-improvement journey, quickly discovering that both the physical practice and its principles immediately resonated with him. Finding the community at flow. was a major part of how quickly he fell in love with the practice. His aim is to continue fostering a welcoming space for students of all levels.
He is passionate about sharing the benefits he has experienced through his own practice—particularly the power found in the breath and in the pause, as well as the value of balancing grace and effort, both on and off the mat.
When not working or practicing yoga, Ernie can often be found unwinding by knitting hats or scarves for friends and family.
“The ultimate act of power is surrender.” - Krisha Das
You can catch Ernie guest teaching yoga classes when substitute needs arise.
