“I registered for Erika’s yoga retreat not really knowing what I was getting into, but hoping for the best with relatively high expectations. Not only did she meet these expectations, but she FAR exceeded them, fulfilling areas of my life that I didn’t even know needed fulfilled. The hotel, the food, the people and beyond were incredible. I am already plotting when I can go again.”

“There are never the right words to describe what an Erika Gibson Yoga Retreat encompasses until you experience one for yourself.
Erika leads her retreats with such grace, passion and light. After our first morning yoga session I had an emotion of freedom and ease rush through me. Erika has a way of pulling you out of your mind and into your heart and body through her beautiful practice. She provides space for you to quiet your mind and just be. Being in Nosara off the beaten path allows you to slow down, enjoy the little things and to connect with the ones around you. When we were not under the open air pavilion practicing yoga, we enjoyed sunrises and sunsets, ocean swims, the local cuisine and culture of Nosara. I can’t wait for my next retreat with Erika!! ”

“During my time in Costa Rica my body, heart, and soul celebrated the embodied feeling of rediscovering how to love myself again. Erika was a wonderful guide sharing her gifts in movement, healing, connection, local attractions, and how to surf the ocean waves. This retreat for me was a perfect blend of learning, developing new friendships, and deepening friendships that previously existed. In between structured time with Erika I was able to explore the beauty of Nosara culture and community. This was a once in a lifetime experience where strangers came together to nourish their bodies and souls! I know I will travel to Nosara again.”

“I had such an amazing time on this retreat. I am having a hard time adjusting back and missing the community and the beauty of it all! Tears of joy and gratitude and love and sadness all at once. Listening to your playlist and trying to be in the moments of wonder from such a beautiful experience!! Not one moment I didn’t love. Thank you! Namaste.”

“Erika created a safe, supportive and loving environment free of judgement or expectations. She curated an amazing week of yoga, local food, tradition, ceremony and fun. I felt a deep sense of relaxation, reflection and happiness that I plan to incorporate into my everyday life. I am very grateful for all the heart and soul she put into this retreat. Namaste!””

“Erika embodies the athleticism, grace and the spiritual parts of yoga. A yoga practice with her is the perfect antidote to the day to day stresses of sitting and staring at a computer monitor. The physical challenges and her enthusiasm lead one to attain a better physical and mental state.”

“I have had the pleasure of practicing, studying and taking private yoga classes with Erika for over a year now. She has had a significant impact on my personal yoga practice, as well as my teaching. Erika’s approach succeeds in orienting her students to not only be grounded and present but to also be aware of healthy anatomical alignment. She is the sweetest, most thoughtful human and there is never a frown on my face when I am in her presence.”

“Erika was my first instructor and introduced me to yoga. I have never done it prior to taking one of her classes. At first I was skeptical, but after taking her class, there was just a sense of calmness and serenity that came with it, and I came out of there feeling great not just physically, but spiritually! The classes were challenging but not uninviting to newcomers. She gives great tips and shows proper form without being too intimidating or embarrassing.


I continued to go to her yoga classes for about a year. The classes she taught at the time were later in the work afternoon, so it was a wonderful break from the cubicle. I always went back to work feeling rejuvenated and even more productive! Highly recommended.
