Erica has been studying and practicing yoga since 1996. Born and raised in Edmonton, AB, Erica is now based in California and teaches classes, workshops and teacher trainings around the world. Most recently, Erica has teamed up with Namaste TV and wrote Season 3 and 4. In addition to her passion of yoga and writing, she has also launched a line, nubeleaf, of nutritional ingredients where she provides building blocks for achieving a healthy, balanced life.**In spirit of greater success, happiness and fulfillment in life, I am committed to the practice of yoga and believe that health and well being are wonderful results of practicing yoga - but the actual purpose of yoga is to awaken our highest potential as human beings. My classes are based on the creative play of Vinyasa, the verve of Ashtanga, and the life-affirming essence of Anusara. Grounded in a supportive and inviting space for everybody to experience the benefits of yoga, my classes weave a balance of intensity and grace into rhythmic, mindful movements that build physical strength and flexibility, reduce stress and quiet the mind. Together with a focus on breathing, physical alignment, and dynamic movement, I create an inspiring moving meditation that is simultaneously fun, challenging (yet accessible) and calming leaving you energized and centered long after you've left your yoga mat. I believe in the power to live simple + love big. To move + be moved. Join me.
