Her yoga studies include Iyengar Yoga, Ashtanga, Anusara, Yin and some (take this ‘some ‘word out) therapeutic yoga studies. Erika is a certified Yoga Works teacher and teacher trainer. She has led both the 200 and 300-hour Yoga Works teacher training programs for over 10 years in the U.S. and internationally.
Erika is a teacher of teachers. Her depth, precision, and skill have supported many yoga students to deepen both their practice and their love of yoga. Her classes are thoughtful and strong and yet allow for every person to have a supportive and individualized practice. Erika has worked with multiple ages, abilities, and interests throughout her yoga teaching career. Her teaching is as compassionate as it is skillful.
