ABOUT ERICA

Erica is Founder & Director of Yoga Sanctuary studio and Director & lead Trainer on the Teacher Training Programme. She has been teaching yoga, Breathwork and meditation for over 10 years and has evolved her teachings to primarily focus on the subtle body, somatics and neuroscience, focusing on the mind-body connection, spirituality, and holistic approaches to well-being.
She is known for her integrity, clarity and presence. Her teaching is informed by a rich understanding of embodiment, anatomy and the subtle body. She is moved by finding the balance between effort and ease, movement and stillness, strength and fluidity, discipline and freedom.
Erica trained in a range of styles of yoga including Vinyasa, Mandala, Restorative and Yin yoga, incorporating many styles of Pranayama and Meditation. Her teachings have greatly evolved from the learnings of the subtle body and somatics in recent years. Most recently Erica completed a Diploma in Coaching with Neuroscience and is passionate about guiding people towards personal transformation both on and off the mat.
She runs frequent retreats incorporating women’s wellbeing, yoga, somatics and the elements. The elements being earth, water, fire, air and ether, incorporated into her retreats in a literal and figurative way. Walking the earth, swimming in water, breathing air, incorporating fire in our yoga practice and ether or subtle/spiritual elements that are believed to permeate the universe and connect all living things. Erica invites her students into the joy of having a moving, breathing body focusing on embodying ease within effort.

TESTIMONIALS

“I did the 200hr YTT at Yoga Sanctuary and it was one of the best experiences ever. I researched several yoga teacher trainings and this one was one of the most comprehensive, well-thoughtout trainings. Not only were all the teachers involved SO lovely, they were all extremely experienced and each had their own specialised areas exposing us to several different styles, not to mention all the great advice they gave us. I would highly recommend anyone considering becoming a yoga teacher or even anyone who wants to deepen their practice and understanding of yoga to enrol, you won’t regret it!"

Emmy Rangel, 2020

“I undertook the 200 hr Yoga Teacher training with Erica in the Yoga Sanctuary 2019/2020 and I’m so glad I did. The course is really well structured with a good mix of Anatomy,Yoga Philosophy and Physical practice. I learned so much more than I had imagined I would ,and feel really well equipped with all the necessary skills required to continue teaching and practicing. The teachers were all extremely knowledgeable, capable, gently professional, warm ,informative and fun. If you’re considering this training I’d highly recommend it !!"

Grainne Nangle, 2020

"I would highly recommend doing The Yoga Sanctury’s 200 Hour Teacher Training (recognised Internationally by the Yoga Alliance) The course ran for one weekend per month over 10 months so it fitted perfectly into family life for me. There is so much more to Yoga teaching than I realised and I really feel the past 10 months have deepened my understanding of so many of the different branches of Yoga. The knowledge & experience I’ve gained has already helped me in all aspects of my life and I know it will continue to do so. If your thinking about doing this course my advice would be don’t put it on the long finger, you wont regret it!"

Grace Shanley, 2019

"I completed my 200-hour Teacher Training Course at the Yoga Sanctuary in June 2017. When I started last September, I had no idea what was ahead of me. The course was challenging, both mentally and physically, and it required a high level of commitment, but it has been rewarding and it has fully prepared me for my journey as a yoga teacher. It was very comprehensive and included modules on yoga philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology and a whole lot more. It has also enriched my own yoga practice. I feel equally grateful and honoured to have had the opportunity to successfully complete this training with 14 other like-minded students, and to have been guided and supported by teachers with a wealth of knowledge and experience. I will treasure this time forever.
Thank you, Yoga Sanctuary."

Geraldine Kerin, Student 2016/2017

“Thanks so much to Erica and all her fab teachers at Yoga Sanctuary for keeping me sane since our first lockdown. I’ve loved how they moved their classes on line and kept it real and engaging.
I’ve actually done more yoga then ever and hope a blended version of future classes is our takeaway from this crisis”

'I can highly recommend Erica's yoga classes. I feel they combine a good balance between exercise and relaxation. You get a good workout but leave feeling relaxed and reinvigorated!'

'Erica's approach to the classes have encouraged me to stick with it! You can work at your own pace and with gentle encouragement you find that gradually muscle tone and overall posture begins to improve. I highly recommend these classes to anyone of any age or fitness level'.

‘Erica's pleasant and uplifting personality makes yoga really enjoyable...medicine for mind and body and soul...a must in today's busy world. I regularly attend Erica's vinyasa flow yoga classes which I love because of the perfect mix for the body of physical, relaxation and meditation. Erica is excellent, she listens to your needs and is very attentive, always adjusting you, so you are in the correct positions.’
