Love Notes from the Mat

Yoga with Erica has been powerful and transformational. Truly. Not every class. Not every day. Transformation doesn’t happen overnight—it’s a process, a dedication, a commitment.

 

Erica has made yoga more accessible to me. When you see her teach and practice, it looks seamless and easy. She assists gently and offers soft, steady guidance in every class. The phrases she uses have become mantras in my own practice, on and off the mat:

 

“Take a long, slow, deep breath in, and a long, slow, deep breath out. Feel your body melt.”

“Thank you for sharing your practice with me. Take your practice off your mat and into your day. Namaste.”

 

I couldn’t begin to count the number of classes I’ve taken—and I wouldn’t want to. I’ve been fortunate to attend many of her carefully curated, beautiful retreats. And it’s never the quantity that leaves an impact—it’s always the quality.

 

As a teacher, Erica embodies an open heart, acceptance, and ease. It’s never about how it looks on the outside—it’s about how it feels on the inside. Slow and steady, the depth of the challenge is yours to choose in every posture.

 

It’s important to experience many teachers as you develop your own flow—we’re never done. One of the best things about Erica is her humility, shown in how she continues to study yoga around the world as a student herself.

 

It’s hard to put into words, because there’s so much to say. But if you have the chance to experience her offerings, know this: what you take is what you choose—and it has the potential to balance your “strength with your sweetness.
