Erica Forbes
Certified Yoga Teacher, Pilates and Reiki Master
Meet Erica!
She is a certified Yoga Teacher, Pilates Instructor and Reiki Master. Erica bases her teachings on astrology, the chakra system, breath work, meditation, and finding the right movement & alignment to express and move energy within the body.
Each day, each person, each yoga class is different. Some days we heat up and focus on moving stagnant energy in the body and other days we may move more slowly, flowing and unwinding as we are being called to.
Creating space within and healing from the inside out is the intention of every class, how we get there is by listening to our inner energies.
