MA, RYT 200, teaches Hatha yoga. She feels blessed for the acceptance and support she has received at Yoga North, and tries to bring those qualities into her teaching practice as well as her job as our Marketing Coordinator. Erika's former professional life was in Nonprofit Advocacy, and when Erika “came to the mat” yoga captivated her and she could think of nothing better than increasing the amount of yoga happening in the world. She encourages students to foster self-awareness, relaxation and breath because-- the way we show up to our yoga practice is often the way we show up to our lives-- skills in the physical, mental, and emotional body can be developed at the mat. She is currently deepening her training at Yoga North in the 500hr Teacher Training program.

Details

Ayurveda is Yoga's sister science. It is the practice of observing the elements of nature around and within us, and maintaining or restoring health by balancing those elements.
This workshop will introduce you to the "language of nature" that is Ayurveda, how it is uniquely expressed in your physical and mental constitution, and how -- with this knowledge -- you can use diet and lifestyle to support your health.
