France is the most enriching place in the world. Each pocket offers a uniquely inspiring opportunity to delve deeper into its culture and language. I equip my French and Yoga students with tools to help support them in their explorations. In addition to seasonal group classes at the Carnegie Center, I offer 1:1 and semi private sessions in person and on Zoom.

Whether you have a business with associates in need of movement and a new perspective or you are offering a wellness week, consider the gift of corporate Yoga. I come to you! 30 min or 60 min sessions designed for the needs of your staff.

Bonjour! I am Erica, the Frenchy Yogini, and I am a Kentucky woman based out of Lexington. 

My introduction into the French language came from my mother and the French songs she would teach me as a child. I later began formally learning  the French language in school in the 4th grade, and fell in love. Along the way I made French a concentration both academically and socially. I immersed myself in Paris, the Côte d’Azur, and outside Deauville for several years. My teaching career of the French language and culture began somewhere in between during my college years where I would tutor my peers. I currently teach group classes at The Carnegie Center in Lexington, KY. 

My practice of Yoga and mindfulness would present itself in my early 20s. I rejected the practice when I had an unsavory first experience. A few years later I would begin to suffer from migraine, an my progressive neurologist prescribed yoga. At first I balked at the idea, but years later would fall in love. 

For 10 years I have  balanced teaching two disciplines and lifestyles that embody my essence: French and Yoga. Mais oui! As a teacher I love to share my personal experiences through anecdotes, faux pas I have learned along the way, and my personal perspectives. With a dose of humor my classes are challenging yet accessible. I am authentically me, and in my classes I will help you embrace your confidence and abilities.

Students make the best teachers. I consider myself a student of life. Life is worth living and loving. Let's stay curious as we step back into ourself. Whether you are a newbie or seasoned student or anything in between, I will meet you where you are, as you are. Are you ready? On y va!
