Erika has been practicing, teaching, and a student of yoga since around  2011. The breath and body connection is emphasised in all of her  classes. Erika is grateful to her teachers MaryBeth Nehl for her  guidance and knowledge of Ashtanga Yoga and 200hr RYT training, and Matt  and Jaina Portwood for adjustments, anatomy, and 200hr RYT Hatha Yoga  training and Yin Yoga Intensive. Other trainings that Erika integrates  into her practice and teachings are breathwork and meditation, Trauma  Sensitive Yoga, Nidra, and Yin Yoga.

You can find Erika skiing,  hiking, camping, running, reading, and enjoying the outdoors whenever she can.

Sandra is a dedicated spiritual seeker who found yoga ten years ago and  never looked back.  She graduated remotely with her 200 hr YTT from My  Vinyasa Practice based out of Austin, Texas.  She holds deep gratitude  for the founder of MVP Michelle Young and all the other lead trainers  and practitioners worldwide in the MVP community.  Sandra takes a  holistic approach to her teaching.  She views each class as an  opportunity to help her students deepen physical, intellectual,  emotional, and spiritual connection to the self.  When she is not in her  asana practice you will find her chasing her three children, spending  time on Birch Lake, creating, reading and gardening.  Come enjoy her  unique classes here at End of the Road Yoga.
