Upcoming Events
Yoga and the Camino
May 19 - 26, 2024
Galicia, Spain
Join me on "The Way" to experience the transformational journey of a pilgrim and a yogi. Together we will embark on the physical journey of walking the last 100 km of the Camino de Santiago. We will travel the ancient footpaths through fragrant eucalyptus forests, rambling vineyards, and charming historic villages to our destination of Santiago de Compostela. Along the way you will be supported on your unique internal journey through movement and mindfulness practices to reignite the fire of your spirit and nurture the calling of your heart. You will return home from Santiago as a changed person with the pilgrim's shell as your sign.

Testimonials
"Ericka is the first PT I’ve worked with to incorporate mindfulness and breathwork into her treatment plan. It has allowed me to better pay attention to my body's feedback with each move and I have seen faster results as a consequence. She is highly intuitive, actively listens, and will tailor each exercise to both your physical and mental needs."

Her classes are simultaneously restorative and challenging and all together transformative.

I have worked with wellness professionals all over the county and I have found no one like Ericka. Her ability to incorporate massage, physical therapy, pilates, and personal training into a comprehensive program is unlike anything I have ever experienced. Our work together is always interesting, inspiring and evolving. I have truly transformed body, mind, and spirit from our work together.
