ERIKA

Meet Erika

My intention as a Yoga teacher is to share Yoga with the world.

Yoga is healing. Life can be painful and joyful and everything in between. Oftentimes, my mat has been the safest and most nurturing place for me to be. I have done much soul searching, and have had many profound awarenesses on my mat. I’ve sweated rivers and wrung out toxins and emotions on my mat. I celebrate my victories in life on my mat. I practice deep gratitude and prayer while on my mat.

There is healing in Yoga. In 2019 I completed my 200 RYT Yoga Teacher Training at Abyhaasa Yoga Studio. In addition to Yoga I am also a Certified International Scientific Hand Analyst, RMT Core 100 Coach. Access Bars and Body healing training, and trained in ThetaHealing DNA healing technique.

In my 19 years since discovering Yoga, I have learned and practiced pretty much any style I had opportunity to practice. Iyengar, Baptiste, Kundalini, Hot, Bikram, Yin, Restorative, Ashtanga, Hatha, Buti… each style has had something more to teach me about myself physically, mentally and spiritually.

Yoga has turned out to be so much more than what I had thought it was going to be when I took my first ever class. I think that most people must feel that way about yoga after practicing a few times.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that yoga is for everyone, every level of physicality and flexibility. You do not need to be flexible or bendy in order to practice, you just have to show up and get on a mat. And just keep coming back, be gentle with yourself, give it some time and the healing benefits will permeate your entire life.

I am very much looking forward to meeting you and having you in class soon!
