Thank you so much for your time today. I loved working with you. You are beautiful, strong, grounded and joyous. You are one of the loveliest and kindest yogis. I always appreciated your support, and felt your good intensions viscerally, like clear, cool water.

“Erica – Last year with you was a very good one. My practice continues to progress. As well as my body awareness. I am learning how to relax at the level of individual muscle groups. These are some of the things you have given me. It is great to start the day with you. Your infectious positive energy radiates. Thank you for many mornings of accomplishment and joy”.
