WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"Erika's class has become the missing link in my fitness. I am learning and discovering ways to understand, move, and tune my body. This is badly needed! It's a great counterbalance to the abuses of device slump, sitting too much, and what I throw off balance or ill serve in my strength training. Erika brings us an ever-changing selection of strength, balance, flexing, and stretching moves that just seem to put things right. And it's just plain fun the way she teaches. I carry away new habits and new moves I can do anywhere, anytime, and I do them." - J. M.
"I have had 4 surgeries on my left knee and have not been able to practice my breast stroke kick for several years because of the pain. I have been attending Erika's gentle yoga class for several months and have recently started swimming again. I recently tried my whip kick again and was surprised to find that I could do it effectively. My left knee is still weak, but I am convinced that yoga class with Erika has enabled me to get back to my breast stroke practice, complete with kick!" - A. W.
"Dear Erika, Thank you for your many, weeks, months, years of Balanced Body classes. I benefit greatly, physically and mentally from your knowledge and excellent instruction. After your classes, I always feel better. among other things, my posture is better, my joints are looser, my head is clearer and I feel stronger. It is not an exaggeration to say to say that the number one part of my fitness routine is attending your classes." - C.R.
"Erika is a complete delight and makes EVERYone feel comfortable, regardless of your experience or skill level, and brings a richness to her teaching because she's trained in other movement modalities. I can't recommend Erika highly enough." - A.M.
"Your class is a lot of fun, and I've found a lot of the breathing exercises that we've done so far really helpful in many ways. I use some of them to relax during [rock] climbing, and I've actually found an improvement in my climbing ever since we started." --K.S.
