Erica found yoga when PALM + PINE opened in 2017 as a supplement to group strength training. After stepping away for a few years, she found herself returning in 2022 as a way to escape from the stressors of life. During PALM + PINE's 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training program she soon recognized that yoga had provided her the tools in dealing with the stressors as they come up in life instead of being an escape. When not teaching or participating in a class, Erica enjoys biking, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and snuggling up with her pups.
