Years ago, I discovered mindfulness practices and yoga while navigating the demanding pace of a corporate career. Overwhelmed and stressed, I explored various modalities, and after nearly two decades, I finally found clarity and purpose in my journey.

My passion lies in Vedic Sciences and Tantric Philosophy, especially in honoring the beauty and intricacies of the Divine Feminine through tantric practices. I’ve been deeply influenced by inspiring teachers like Esther/Abraham Hicks, Carolyn Myss, Donna Eden, Anodea Judith, Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, Sally Kempton, and several local yoga teachers. My mission is to authentically share the transformative and therapeutic potential of tantric yoga, movement, daily awareness, and energy practices with my students. I believe that every body can benefit from yoga, movement, and mindfulness practices.

I teach a comprehensive approach that incorporates easeful living, alignment, and flow both on and off the mat. My classes create a light, heart-centered space for students to fully embrace their whole selves. The focus of my programs is on Conscious and Empowered Living, Energy, Self-Healing, and Living Blissfully.

As a lifelong learner, I have over 5,000 hours of formal and informal studies in various science-based and Eastern modalities. My teachings are grounded in both my extensive education and the life experiences that have shaped my understanding and practice.

From her first yoga practice many years ago, Erica noticed the effect mindful movement had on her depressed and anxious mind. Through the years a deeper and meaningful relationship began to develop in her yoga practice between herself and God. She knew she had to share this with others battling mental health issues and those who did not feel connected to the Holy Spirit. This self-actualization is what drove her to seek out teaching.

In October 2019, Erica became a registered yoga instructor (200 level) through YogaFaith; with specializations in Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Meditation, and Somatics. She volunteers as the Anchorage Area Manager for the Veterans Yoga Project and loves to hold space for anyone dealing with Post Traumatic Stress and to those who provide care and support to them (Compassion Fatigue and Secondary Trauma are serious issues, yet often overlooked).

She continues to participate in training programs to continue her development as both a yogi and a teacher.

Yoga Credentials

A little about Leah. She moved to Alaska in January from southern New Jersey, outside of Philadelphia with her husband and 3 children. She is a dog mama also. She sold her childcare and Pre-K to move up here. Leah is also a certified children’s and yoga instructor. She is a Baptiste Power Yoga certifiend. A little about Baptiste for those who are not familiar with this methodology of yoga. Baptiste yoga was created by Baron Baptiste. Baptiste yoga is a heated, power flow. It is about finding the amazing, radiant self that is already inside of you. It is an athletic flow that is heated, you will sweat! It is also appropriate for every level of yoga experience. In a traditional Baptiste studio there is an exact flow to follow; Leah will be taking some creative liberty within this flow to make it work for the time and people in class. It is a fun, athletic class that starts slow, builds and crescendos, then cools down. It allows for strength and stretching.

An artist at heart, Marti is a certified yoga teacher and reiki Practitioner. Having been in love with yoga since childhood, Marti didn’t realize the true power of the practice until a few summers ago, when she moved to LA from New York City. Marti quickly discovered how alienating and jarring a city like LA can be, and found herself turning to yoga more than ever before. She also discovered the unique power of Reiki, a Japanese technique that promotes healing and relaxation, which changed her life. Marti quickly became attuned to be a Reiki Practitioner, and started incorporating hands-on healing in her Yoga. Along with teaching classes, Marti’s specialty is working one-one-one with clients, where she introduces them to her unique blend of Meditation, Yoga, and Reiki, all with the intention of healing the soul, and awakening the light within. As well as being a Healer, Marti is also a trained actor who believes passionately in being present, focused, and living in the now. A passionate and empathetic teacher, Marti strives to create a comfortable, safe environment for her students so that they can discover their true potential as yogis, and more importantly, as a human beings.
