In 2006, Creative Loafing Magazine named Todd "Best Yoga Instructor to Bring Your Ashtanga Practice to the Next Level"

Todd Roderick has been dedicated to the practice of Ashtanga since 1995 and has been teaching for over 10 years. He had the rare opportunity to study extensively with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India, and as a result he is the most experienced Ashtanga instructor in the Southeast. Todd attended his first yoga class in Mysore, where he studied for 14 months between two trips in 1996 and 1997.

At that time, classes were limited to twelve students between two instructors, allowing a close relationship with Pattabhi Jois. Todd learned the practice comprehensively, under the scrupulous eyes of Pattabhi Jois and his grandson Sharath Rangaswamy. Studying yoga in such an intimate setting, Todd experienced how Ashtanga was correctly executed and taught in its deepest sense. He also studied extensively with one of America's leading teachers, Tim Miller, in San Diego. Tim first suggested that Todd move to the Southeast in order to teach, which he did in 1999.

Over the years, Todd has studied with many other senior Ashtanga instructors, including Lino Miele, Rolf Naujokat, Ranjani Cobo, to name a few. His teaching is steeped in the ancient tradition of yoga. By adhering to tradition, he honors the teachers that came before him. Todd's teaching style can be described as intuitive and sensitive, yet direct. He believes Ashtanga is a catalyst to spiritual development and teaches accordingly. As Pattabhi Jois emphasizes that yoga is 99% practice and 1% theory, Todd focuses less on yoga philosophy and instead strives to embody the yogic life, thus teaching by example.
