Meet Our Expert Faculty

ERICA MATHER, M.A. C-IAYT, ERYT 500, HHC, REIKI MASTER (GUEST TEACHER: YOGA FOR MIGRAINES, DEVELOPING PERSONAL PROTOCOLS)

Erica is a natural-born teacher, who began instructing at age 17 and studies pedagogy through education, learning, and leadership. She cares most about her students' freedom--financial, spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical--and to compliment each concern has founded a number of programs to support this mission. The Adore Your Body system supports feeling free in the body; The Yoga Clinic educates students, teachers, and health professionals about empowered self-care; and, the Five Pillars 90-Day Accountability Program helps yoga teachers learn the fundamentals of business.

Erica is a Forrest Yoga Guardian, hand-picked by Ana Forrest to become one of a handful of senior teachers in the Forrest Yoga tribe. She found Forrest Yoga at the very beginning of her yoga studies and began practicing to treat her adult-onset migraine headaches. Her area of interest is how Forrest Yoga promotes healing of the body and spirit along a spectrum—from the very sick to the “well.” She has a flourishing private practice in New York City working therapeutically in a number of capacities helping the injured, ill, and aging gain confidence and trust in their bodies. Erica is currently working on her first book (New Harbinger, 2019) collating her knowledge about improving the relationship with the body as a spiritual pursuit.
