human. Her teaching style includes the use of thai yoga massage, partner work, soft hands-on adjustments, aromatherapy and energy work to open each student energetically and ecstatically.

Her goal is to get to know student and learn about their story, so together they can find what works. Erika guides each person to their own flexibility, healing, courage, wisdom, faith, and strength.

Since then, she has been teaching and continuing her education in the fields of yoga, ecology and the healing arts.

She now joyfully teaches for the Yoga Works family of Orange County where she encourages students to break away from the everyday grind and find their “deeply satisfied no matter what” self inside.
