Erika Penrod

Hello, I’m Erika! Yoga found me in 2017. Since then, I have completed my 200 hour and 300 hour training with Lifepower Yoga. I have also done an additional 200 hour with Gaia Flow Yoga. I currently teach 9 classes a week including heated vinyasa flow, ashtanga, gentle hatha, and surrender. I am also a facilitator and lead Yoga Teacher Training twice a year for Lifepower Yoga. Influenced by my teachers, peers and my environment I aim to bring a sense of awareness and enlightenment to each of my classes.  Through intention, meditation, and my own breath and practice, my goal is to have my students leave each class feeling refreshed and renewed.  Through my teaching I will provoke thought and meaning, which will allow the students to ground down and have a stronger sense of self.  My classes are always challenging physically and mentally, delivered in English and some Sanskrit, with uplifting music, and including minimal demonstrations and maximum hand on assists. The goal is for everyone to reach their edge.  I aim to live a yogic lifestyle and lead my classes in a way that reflects that choice.  I have found the thing that I am most passionate about, Yoga, and it has had such an impact on my life.  I believe in the practice and everything that it stands for.  I practice daily, and not just on my own but with my wife and our four amazing kids.  It is not just something we do, but it is the way we live.
