Long bio
Ricky Tran, BBA, E-RYT 500, YACEP, YU-QP4, CBA
Yoga Teacher · Healer · Visionary · Seeker of Truth
Every hero’s journey begins with a call to transform. For Ricky Tran, that call came in 2005, when he faced the depths of addiction and despair. Seeking healing, he stepped onto a yoga mat—and into a new life. What began as an act of survival became a path of awakening. Through practice, discipline, and faith, Ricky rebuilt himself from the inside out—body, mind, and spirit.
Over the next two decades, Ricky immersed himself in study and teaching, logging more than 25,000 hours guiding others toward balance and self-realization. Rooted in the lineage of Sri T. Krishnamacharya and his disciple Srivatsa Ramaswami, Ricky bridges classical yoga and modern understanding to make timeless wisdom accessible to all. His teachings weave movement, breath, meditation, and philosophy into a living art of transformation—helping students not just stretch their bodies but also expand their consciousness.
Ricky’s rise from personal struggle to spiritual purpose inspired the creation of multiple yoga communities, including Krama Yoga Center, Castle Hills Yoga, Yoga Southside, and the beloved Breakfast Yoga Club, which united people through yoga, music, and service. He has taught nationally at venues such as the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, the Texas Yoga Conferences, and Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
Armed with a BBA in Entrepreneurship, Strategic Management, and Real Estate from the University of North Texas, Ricky merges business insight with heart-centered vision. His students—ranging from Olympians and physicians to everyday seekers—reflect the diversity and universality of his message: that yoga is a path home to wholeness.
Today, based in Dallas, Texas, Ricky continues his mission through private clients, the Yoga Health Institute Corporation, Addison Circle Yoga, and Urban Harmoni Wellness—initiatives dedicated to healing, education, and conscious living. Having transformed his own life through yoga, Ricky now leaves behind living proof of his journey: conscious humans becoming their best selves, one breath at a time.
