Transform Your Life with Rikas Flow Yoga Studio

In the heart of Wellington, Florida, a passionate yoga practitioner embarked on a journey that led her not only towards self-discovery but also ignited a fervent desire to share the holistic benefits of yoga with others. Meet Rika Parkes, a vibrant spirit dedicated to fostering well-being and joy through the multifaceted realms of yoga and sound healing.

Rika’s journey into the world of yoga began in the early months of 2018, at a time when she was seeking healing and tranquility. After the birth of her second child, Rika experienced a challenging period of postpartum depression. It was during this time that she discovered the transformative power of yoga. What started as a whim to attend a local vinyasa class evolved into a life-altering experience, where the amalgamation of spiritual practice, pranayama, and asana became a beacon of light guiding her towards healing and joy.

With her newfound love and deep-seated passion for yoga, Rika envisioned sharing the bliss and balance yoga brought into her life with others. In the summer of 2019, she took a decisive step towards this vision by attending an Ashtanga-based yoga teacher training program, where she blossomed into a certified yoga instructor, ready to guide others on their own yoga journeys.

Rika’s desire to facilitate a nurturing space for every individual has led her to expand her skill set. Beyond being a certified Vinyasa instructor, she furthered her expertise by becoming a Yoga Alliance certified prenatal and postnatal yoga instructor, offering support and guidance to mothers navigating the beautiful journey of motherhood. Rika also immersed herself in the harmonious world of sound healing, becoming a certified sound healer equipped to offer a sanctuary of peace and rejuvenation through the healing vibrations of sound.

At the core of Rika’s teaching approach lies a firm belief in fostering a safe and nurturing environment. She prioritizes correct alignment and breathwork in her classes, creating a balanced fusion of strength and relaxation. From Vinyasa to Hatha, and Power to Yin, Rika showcases versatility in her offerings, infusing each class with a unique blend of technique and warmth. Her sessions are crowned with a soothing sound bath during savasana, a gentle embrace for the soul, leaving practitioners feeling lighter, happier, and more connected to themselves.

Nestled in Wellington, Florida, Rika has built a haven not just within the confines of a physical space but within the hearts of her students. She shares her life’s vibrant journey with her loving husband, their two beautiful children, and a pair of adorable cats, in a home adorned with the lush greenery of numerous plants, a testimony to the flourishing life she has cultivated through yoga.

Join Rika at Rika's Flow, where each session is an invitation to embark on a transformative journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery, nurturing a harmonious connection between the body, mind, and spirit.
