Erica Kleinman

Instructor

Rising Lotus Yoga

Erica is a San Fernando Valley native who began her yoga journey in 2004 to prepare her mind and body for pregnancy.  Health and fitness have always played a huge roll in her life to preserve physical, mental and emotional sanity.  She is never happier than when she can share this passion with those around her.   Erica started her career in health and wellness when she became a NASM certified personal trainer in 2000.  In 2011, she earned her 200 hour yoga teacher training certification at Black Dog Yoga in Sherman Oaks. Forever a student, she continued to grow her personal practice and teach public classes around the Valley.  In 2019, she completed a 50 hour Teacher Training at Rising Lotus Yoga with Claire Hartley to further expand and elevate her teaching style.   Erica’s classes are best described as alignment focused Vinyasa flow.  She strives to create challenging, yet accessible classes for all ages and abilities.  Erica is thrilled to be part of the community at Rising Lotus and encourages all of her students to enjoy the present moment, breathe, play and have fun!
