Erica Valentine

For Erica, yoga isn’t about flexibility—it’s about the breath. She teaches from the heart with high energy and deep passion, creating an inclusive, empowering space for everyone at all levels. Her classes are immersive experiences, known for her warm humor, snacks, open heart, optional hands-on adjustments, and signature sound bath savasana, fostering community and connection.

Yoga found Erica during a time of hopelessness and feeling stuck. A friend invited her to a class where she discovered peace and renewed possibility. Determined to share this gift, she earned her 200-hour and 500-hour yoga teacher certifications in Costa Rica and has trained in Italy, Hong Kong, Bali, Hawaii, Omega, Kripalu, and Esalen. 

With over 20 years of experience teaching, consulting, and coaching, Erica works with individuals and groups of all sizes—from one-on-one sessions to thousands of participants, all ages and levels. She meets everyone where they are in life.
