Thank you Erica! I just had my first pain-free day in three months. Ten weeks of physical therapy for the torn hamstring & messed-up IT band, which was effective enough to get me back to my yoga practice. But still very uncomfortable – Saturday night I was even thinking I should go back to my doctor to get an MRI or something. Then I take your Sunday class, and everything falls into place. I’m so glad I arranged the day to come to you - your method definitely seems to work! -Namaste, Avery  (www.williamaveryhudson.com)

As a 60 year old, post-menopausal  woman, I had lost 1 1/4 inches in height. After 6 months of taking classes with Erica, I knew that my posture, breathing, and core strength had improved, but was astonished after my last physical. I had regained a full inch!!!! It is certainly worth the trip from New Jersey for your Friday morning classes. 
    Another significant impact Erica has had on me is in my yoga practice. I have worked on computers most of my life, and have problems with my wrists. I've taken yoga classes for 8 years and could not do many postures because of this. Erica adapted postures and then suggested that I try using wrist braces. With them I can now do many postures that I could not do previously. Erica's knowledge, instincts, intuition and attention to the individual student's needs make her an extraordinary yoga instructor. Thanks Erica.

I originally met Erica a few years ago when I was returning to graduate school.  In class Erica always managed to include shoulder opening poses or other poses to stretch out my back, making me feel like the class was personalized to help me cope with my long hours hunched over books and my computer.  Over the past year, despite my study habits, I actually grew an inch!  A fact I can only attribute that to yoga.  I am grateful to Erica for the help her teaching provided me, physically and mentally, through my doctoral process. 
    Today I am a much more centered person and physically stronger than any other point in my life, due to my yoga practice.  Erica’s classes are the perfect balance between spiritual guidance and physical growth, which have been a corner stone for shaping my current practice.  I brought my mother (who always loved yoga but had a limited practice because of wrist problems) to one of Erica’s classes and since then she has been consistently coming with me.  Erica’s teachings have changed her also and it has been amazing to share our journey together. Thank you Erica!

Erica has transformative powers. When she arrives in the morning with her broad, pretty smile and positive energy you can't help but feel better about yourself... no matter what your mood. Her acute attentiveness to the most minute nuance of your yoga pose helps you to see and appreciate the power you have within you. Never have I finished a session with her that I have not been transformed into a more peaceful, graceful and calm person. That wonderful feeling of peace is vital in helping me make my way through the day.

Gentle, patient, funny, intuitive and very, very strong, practice with Erica helped me find a safe place to work towards healthy. She is exacting, and makes you believe you can reach her high standards, and then, miraculously, she helps you get there.  Erica's belief in my possibilities helped me find a core to take it to the next level.  One-on-one work with her feels like a special treat.
