Pressing Pause
pause. breathe. connect.
Pressing Pause is a 6-week Yin Yoga series for women who are ready for a slower, softer approach to movement, rest, and well-being.
Think of it as a deep exhale for your whole being.
A chance to slow down, breathe a little deeper, release some tension, and spend some time simply being still.
Whether you’re completely new to Yin Yoga or returning after time away, Pressing Pause meets you where you are. Each six-week series offers a little space to pause, breathe, reconnect, and rest.
We practice live, online, together.
Pressing Pause might be for you if…
You know how to keep going, but you’re learning how to slow down.
You might be craving…
a slower pace and moments of stillness
a gentle complement to the ways you move and challenge your body
relief from stress, overwhelm, and a busy mind
time to soften, release tension, and let go
a little more ease in your body and breath
You want a practice that feels supportive rather than demanding.
You want to make rest part of your life, not something you squeeze in when everything else is finished.
Or maybe you’re simply curious about what six weeks of slowing down might feel like.
Maybe it’s time to press pause.
What Makes Yin Yoga Different?
Yin Yoga offers a different approach to movement, not only because of what you're doing, but because of how you're being.
It invites you to slow down, tune in, and soften in ways that can extend beyond the physical practice.
Yin is a quiet, grounding, and deeply restful practice that works with the deeper tissues of the body. We practice primarily in longer-held, floor-based poses, usually staying for 3 to 5 minutes at a time.
Props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks are often used, not just for support, but to help you settle in more fully and feel more at ease in your body.
Over time, Yin can support mobility, ease tension, and help your body feel more open, but the physical benefits are only part of the experience.
Many women return to Yin again and again for the way it supports their whole being—body, mind, and spirit.
The Details
1. Weekly Live Classes & Replays
Settle into a weekly rhythm with a live online Yin class each Tuesday at 8:15 p.m. ET. Each 60-minute class is held on Zoom, with replays available if you can’t join live.
You’ll also have access to a pre-recorded Somatic Experiencing session with a special guest teacher, offering a complementary practice and perspective.
2. A Personal Welcome & Support Along the Way
Your experience begins with a 20-minute private welcome with Erica. First-time participants are encouraged to schedule a welcome before the series begins, and returning participants are always welcome to schedule one, too.
It’s a chance to meet 1:1, share what brought you here, ask questions, or simply reconnect.
Extra support is woven throughout the six weeks with a custom workbook, thoughtful emails, and other little surprises.
3. A Small Group Experience
Every group is intentionally kept small so you can feel seen, supported, and personally guided throughout the six weeks.
4. Props for Your Practice
To support your practice, you’ll need:
1 blanket
2 yoga blocks
1 round yoga bolster (or a supportive substitute)

“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. Highly recommend giving yourself this beautiful gift of community and physical healing if possible - it felt like a long, warm hug!”
