Here’s what a couple of graduates have to say…

Erica is committed and unwavering in her ability to teach compassionately and intelligently. This was my second time moving through the MentorshipTraining. Why? Because I needed to connect in with the aliveness of the practice. I felt that I had gotten lost somewhere along the way for my own personal reasons. There is always something new to learn and embody with Forrest Yoga, and I am still humbled by the truth of it on all levels. Thank you, Erica… for providing a safe and powerful container for this work! Thank you for your presence, and your capacity to expertly speak to all bodies, brains, and hearts. ~Stacey Gibbons

Having never met Erica in person before, enrolling in the program took a leap of faith – and I am SO glad I took it! The 8 Day Mentorship with Erica felt more insightful than all the teacher trainings/workshops I have taken combined. No question was off-limits and her confidence and honesty speak for themselves. She not only supported me when it comes to teaching and assists, but also strengthened and illuminated my relationship with Forrest Yoga. In a world of ego-driven yoga personalities, her interpersonal skills and empathy enabled her to provide group learning experience where very different participants could learn not only together, but from each other. ~ Stephanie Pelser 

About Erica: I’ve been studying Forrest Yoga for 20 years, teaching for 16, and have been a Guardian since 2009. I’m the author of Your Body, Your Best Friend: End the Confidence-Crushing Pursuit of Unrealistic Beauty Standards & Embrace Your True Power. I teach and live mostly in New York City. Running the Forrest Yoga Mentorship Program is always magical. I’m looking forward to seeing who shows up for this next round. Will it be you? 

About Rahshaana: I’ve been studying Forrest Yoga for 14 years, teaching for 7, and am currently a Guardian-in-Training. Drawing from my own experiences with healing injury and overcoming adversity, I support others in their journeys through Forrest Yoga, meditation, resilience coaching and equity/inclusion education. Having completed a Forrest Yoga Mentorship Program led by Erica, I’m excited to be assisting her in running this one!
