Lila Yoga

Lila Yoga focuses on acknowledging and uniting with the larger rhythms of life and the interplay of energy at any given moment

Each posture becomes an opportunity to awaken, explore, and unite with a specific state of being

We begin our Lila 200 hour and 300 hour YTT in January 2027

For those of you interested in deepening your Lila Yoga practice, send us a message to learn how!

In 2027, we are offering both 200-Hour and 300-Hour Lila Yoga Teacher Trainings, providing you with opportunities to deepen your personal practice, expand your teaching skills, and grow your understanding of yoga!

I hope you’re considering our hybrid Lila Yoga Teacher Training 200 & 300 hour that starts in January

When I meditate on sharing and teaching Lila YTT 200 & 300 at this time in my life, I feel the honor that surrounds it, the blessing of the special spirit of all of us who will be part of the group…and I feel it as tremendously meaningful🙏🏽and uniquely ✨significant in this time in history—the art of human living—vulnerable and strong with powerful calm and expansive unconditional and non-circumstantial LOVE

Lila Yoga ignites this interplay of cosmic energy by connecting us individuals to the all of everything 🌀

We become one small crucial part of a cosmic sized asana…so marvelous to experience! Just by aligning ourselves with specific energy lines, currents instantly move through us, strengthen and support us

By practicing in this interconnected way, asanas become enlivened and dynamic! Asanas become profound opportunities to recharge and rebalance!

You see, by connecting with specific qualities and movement of energy, we can experience ourselves as part of the whole–in an ever changing state of interconnectedness🪞

When physics and consciousness unite in Divine play of energy, it’s called Lila Yoga

Starting in January 2027, Erica will be leading both a 200LYTT and 300LYTT

“Studying & practicing the great science of yoga enables us to understand ourselves & others—it is a holistic way of living, relating & evolving within a healthy balanced life.”
