When you see this type of equation your get the variables H and K in a quadratic equation. In this case the (x-2)^2 +1 is your H. The (x-2)^2 +1 is your K.
For the H you always do the opposite so in this case instead of going to the left 2 times you go to the right 2 times (affects your x)
For the K you go up or down which in this case you go up one (affects your y)
And that's how you got your (2,1) as the center of the parabola
