Erika Halaby is the founder of Rooted Rose Recreation & Wellness LLC, a venture dedicated to connecting individuals to the land and promoting a meaningful lifestyle through diverse outdoor experiences. As a 500-hour Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (ERYT), Erika enjoys sharing the many limbs of yoga with her students, integrating these principles into her classes alongside the practice of asanas. She aims to enrich the yoga experience by exploring its philosophical and ethical dimensions, fostering mindfulness and self-awareness throughout the journey.
Erika’s passion for nature is woven into her teaching, as she believes that the outdoors provides a unique backdrop for personal growth and reflection and that we can take it with us when we practice anywhere in the world, indoors or out. In addition to her yoga practice, she is a full mesa carrier of Mountain Shamanism, drawing on ancient healing traditions to nurture a deeper connection to the earth. With a background in mental health and leadership, Erika is committed to guiding individuals on their paths toward emotional and mental wellness, encouraging them to find balance and harmony both within themselves and in the natural world around them.
