Hi, and welcome to Erica Jean Yoga!

Pause. Breathe. Connect.

Hi, I’m Erica Elbery—a certified yoga teacher, fitness instructor, and wellness educator with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals on their health and wellness journey.

My approach is rooted in presence, compassion, and a deep belief in the power of slowing down. At the heart of my offerings is Yin Yoga — a quiet, meditative practice that not only helps you reconnect with your body and calm your mind but also supports flexibility, mobility, and release of deep-seated tension.

Ways to work with me…

  • Pressing Pause is a 6-week online journey into the quiet, grounding practice of Yin Yoga.

    Each week includes one live-streamed class, personalized support, and thoughtfully curated resources to gently guide your practice.

    Think of it as a deep exhale for your whole being — a space to slow down, reconnect, and release. An opportunity to center yourself, ease tension, and settle into the soothing rhythm of Yin.

    Whether you’re beginning your Yin Yoga journey or returning to the mat with experience, Pressing Pause meets you exactly where you are.

What clients are saying…

“Pressing Pause was the yin program I didn’t know I needed in my life. Spending time slowing down, in silence, with myself and other like-minded women allowed me the spaciousness to go deeper into my personal development journey. The combination of education and yoga learnings, inspirational quotes and quiet was magic. Physically I could feel the benefits of our practice all day. Highly recommend giving yourself this beautiful gift of community and physical healing if possible - it felt like a long, warm hug!

Whether you are a beginner or seasoned yogi, she ensures you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. Joining Pressing Pause was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my wellness journey. If you’re on the fence, take the leap - you won’t regret it.”

“Erica is an incredible facilitator, space holder, and instructor. She immediately makes you feel seen and warmly welcomed. Each week's session was something I looked forward to. She made me feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. If you need accessible, physical support that can be woven into your life at home or on the go, I can't recommend Erica and Pressing Pause enough.”

~ Rachel C.

“Pressing Pause was an incredible experience. The intentionality of our instructor (Erica) truly set this class apart. Each session was thoughtfully designed, fostering a deep sense of mindfulness and connection to our practice. The integration of weekly Vinyasa sessions provided a wonderful balance, allowing us to explore different aspects of our practice while maintaining the soothing, restorative focus of Yin. The small group setting was an asset in conjunction with our weekly interactions via Voxer.”
