Meet Your Guide
Erika Fryklepak, MA, eRYT 500, YACEP
Erika has been guiding yoga since 2010. At its foundation in 2018, she was the original co-lead teacher and contributor of curriculum development at the House of the Gathering Yoga School. Additionally, she provided the YTT’s branding / website through her graphic design business, Erika Was Here Design.
Early in adulthood, a fervent desire to make-the-world-a-better-place motivated Erika to earn a BA in Women’s Studies (2004) and a MA in Advocacy & Political Leadership (2006) from the University of Minnesota Duluth, after which she set her ambitions toward a career of community organizing and political lobbying.
After a time Erika shifted her vision from politics to spirituality, reframing the need for societal change, “It must begin within!” She completed 200hr YTT and +300hr YTT at Yoga North in Duluth (2011). Since then Erika has taught in many places including: retreat centers, corporate settings, studios, community centers, resorts, private homes, and even a theater!
Erika continues to soften as she grows.
In recent years, Erika has been weaving together lifelong threads through the work of feminine embodiment spirituality. Long being passionate about the magic that happens when a group of women gather (gender non-conforming individuals included), Erika found a way to bring this passion into union with yogic teachings. A training with Awakening Women Wisdom School (2019) served as the catalyst to incorporate these practices into gatherings.
As a mama of three, massively invested DIYer of their homestead with her husband, and owner of a small business, Erika Was Here Design, Erika lives creatively, spaciously, and enjoys cultivating experiences of authenticity, curiosity, and wonder.
