My mission is to use my gifts to support and empower women on their path to greater well-being and a clearer, more resilient mindset.

Yoga is often thought of as a physical practice, and while it certainly enhances our physical health, it offers so much more.

It invites us to pause, breathe, and connect — grounding us in the present moment and illuminating own inner wisdom. And that’s just the beginning. I believe yoga offers the tools to lead a healthier, more peaceful, easeful, joyful, and purposeful life.  

My own journey into a regular yoga practice was far from linear.

I had dabbled in yoga off and on for about 15 years, but it wasn’t until the age of 35 when it began to take root — when I enrolled in a prenatal yoga workshop at my local yoga studio. For the rest of my pregnancy, I attended a slow flow class weekly, using that time to pause, breathe, and connect with my changing body.

After the birth of my son and recovering from an emergency c-section, I returned to the studio and discovered my first Gentle Yin class — and something clicked. It became my weekly ritual.

Week after week, I became more present to the ways Yin was supporting me — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. It became a grounding force in my life, offering space and calm when I needed it most.

After 5 years of dedicated practice,

I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training in Hatha Yoga at Holy Cow Yoga Center followed by specialized training in Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Mindfulness, and Yoga Nidra. I began teaching Yin at my local yoga studio — returning to the same room where my Yin journey had begun. What a full circle moment!

In 2023, I opened the doors to my online studio …

… and launched Pressing Pause — a 6 week journey into the quiet, grounding practice of Yin Yoga. Since then, Erica Jean Yoga has been gently expanded. Inspired by the rhythm of the seasons and the ever-shifting needs of those I serve, I’ve begun weaving in new ways to connect—both online and in person.

Slowly, I’m finding my way back to in-person classes and events, where shared breath and presence offer their own kind of magic.

If this sounds like your kind of place, I’d love to stay connected.
