Erika ruiz

Erika Ruiz discovered yoga during a challenging time in college when panic attacks left her searching for peace. On her doctor’s recommendation, she stepped into her first yoga class and immediately fell in love. Yoga quickly became her sanctuary, a place to ground herself, quiet her mind, and reconnect with her body. 

Over the past 11 years Erika has shared yoga’s transformative power with her students. Her teaching journey includes daily classes and hosting annual retreats, often in stunning beach destinations across Mexico. Known for her intentional and challenging flows, Erika’s classes are thoughtfully crafted to combine creative sequencing, energizing music, and purposeful intentions. 

Outside the studio, Erika embraces the joy and chaos of life with her husband and four young boys ages 8 and younger. She’s a self-proclaimed foodie who loves exploring restaurants and coffee spots like Slowpokes. When not chasing after her little ones, you’ll find her traveling to beaches, indulging in “romantasy” novels, or enjoying a well-deserved date night.
