Reducing Stress and Taking Yoga Off the Mat with Erika Belanger



For so many of us, yoga started simply as a physical practice and then evolved into so much more. Today's guest Erika Belanger, host of the podcast On and Off Your Mat, discusses the many ways yoga translates to our everyday life.

Erika is a yoga teacher, the host of the On & Off Your Mat Podcast, and a stress coach. Being a teacher is part of who she is, and she uses yoga, podcasting, and life coaching as different entry points all aiming to help her students and clients move from surviving to thriving. Her radiant spirit and engaging sense of humor create light-hearted practices focused on awareness, intentional movement, and self-care. She empowers her students and clients to awaken to themselves, become embodied, and build the life of their dreams.
