Erika Smith Iluszko Studio Owner | Meridian Yoga Practitioner
My love for movement and spirituality was evident from an early age. Trained in dance, Kung Fu, and multiple yoga traditions, I sees movement as a universal language that connects body, mind, and spirit. After devoting and following the eight limbs of yoga for about two decades, I decided to do the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Madras, India. Since then, I have attended numerous trainings and workshops which had a huge impact on the way I teach.
My unique approach weaves together classical yoga philosophy with Traditional Chinese Medicine, modern fascia research, and integrative healing arts. My teaching transcends conventional instruction, creating spaces where students discover their innate wisdom through embodied exploration.
I see nothing external to my yoga practice as I find everything in life is deeply connected and that ultimately no teacher is greater than the one within.
