About your host
Erica Montes (SYT) first worked with the body through performance art, acrobatics and theatre. She encountered Yoga and meditation as a teenager and, after some years working as an actor, found a common ground between her intensely disciplined theatre work and Eastern practices that promote mindfulness through physical motion. Erica completed her 200 hour Yoga certification with Elena Voyce and her 500 hour certification with the renowned Edward Clark's Tripsichore Yoga. She took part in the very first European AcroYoga Teacher Training in 2008 with co-founders Jason Nemer & Jenny Sauer-Klein. Her level II training was in 2012, after which she became actively involved in AcroYoga International’s Immersions Programme, teaching dozens of 30 hour intensives, reaching students in the thousands. Originally from Brazil, Erica lives in London and teaches internationally.
