About organizer

Travel, adventure, connections, the arts, speaking French, her dog, and of course the practice of Yoga are but a few of Erica’s favorite things. Erica seeks the extraordinary in the ordinary, and she loves life in a variety of shapes and textures.

Erica was called to Yoga 15 years ago when she was diagnosed with chronic migraine. Her physician prescribed Yoga and voilà! She became attuned to Reiki around the same time. Erica initially began her practice of movement, breath work, mindfulness and Reiki to mitigate migraine symptoms. The practice became a passion and lifestyle and ultimately lead Erica to want to facilitate the practice for individuals in search of their way back to center, to Self.

While Erica appreciates an alignment –based practice, she recognizes the importance of listening to one’s own intuition. She feels the movement of Yoga is like a dance, uniting awareness and curiosity while accessing an embodied experience through the guidance of the breath. For Erica, life is a balance between the opposites, and she applies this philosophy to her practice of Yoga and life.

Erica’s classes are empowering and accessible, offering a somatic approach while taking a deep dive into the inner landscape of the body. She will meet you where you are on your mat.

One of her biggest passions is creating experiences for other people. Life is worth living and loving and she welcomes you to join her in Greece. All levels and people welcome.

Introduction
