Erika Bennett

A yogi and yoga instructor at home, at work and at play, Erika is passionate about bringing the full benefits of yoga to all parts of life. After practicing yoga herself on and off for 10 years, Erika completed her 200 hr teacher training with Marianne Wells in Costa Rica in 2014. A public relations professional by day, Erika first seriously turned to yoga as exercise, and a way to help alleviate stress from her high-paced career. It didn't take long for her to realize the benefits of yoga reach far beyond physical health, and yoga has been a big part of her life for over six years. 

Erika offers classes suited to yogis of all experience. She has a passion for introducing the benefits of yoga to beginners, while helping more intermediate students advance their practice. With a focus on synchronizing movement and breath, Erika's classes guide students through a flow of postures that build strength, endurance and focus while improving flexibility and calming minds. Students can expect to learn about proper alignment and how to adjust poses to suit their needs. Erika believes yoga is for everyone, and is committed to helping each and every one of her students find ways to reap the maximum value from their practice. 

Erika currently teaches at the YMCA (Calgary Eau Claire), and is available for private classes by request.
