Meet Erica

Wellness rooted in a life actually lived

I grew up in a small town in Alabama, found Pilates, and ended up building a career that has taken me all over the world. I’ve traveled to more than 50 countries, spent years living out of two bags, and learned that wellness only counts if it works when your routine falls apart, whether that’s a long flight, a new time zone, or a kitchen that isn’t yours.

For over 15 years I’ve helped people move with more ease, regulate stress, and build trust in their bodies.

What My Clients Say

“I have extensive experience with a plethora of therapies and practitioners/therapists, Erica is something special. I was born with cerebral palsy and doctors doubted that I would ever walk. Thankfully, they missed the mark. I was a captain of my high school football team and have completed multiple 5k races. In 2018, I had an unexpected exploratory laparotomy during which my pancreas was cut and I went from a healthy 180 lbs down to 135 lbs while being bedridden in ICU for over a month. I am currently reteaching myself how to walk without crutches as I had grown accustomed to before the surgery. This round of rehab has been daunting and at times has caused me to feel sorry for myself in a way that I had never felt before, but it also has taught me a lot about my body that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. Erica’s life long experience with Scoliosis in addition to her additional back injuries seems to have given her the ability to empathize on a level that no one else has in my experience. Working with someone who seems to know what you are up against has always led to better results in all aspects of my life, and rehabilitation is usually lacking on this front. Erica employs knowledge, drive, and creativity almost effortlessly and she is truly an asset to my recovery and a joy to work with.”

Erica Breen is a highly knowledgeable and professional instructor, with a friendly and focused teaching style that will help you achieve better results. For the last seven years, I’ve experienced chronic pain that has limited my participation in Pilates and other activities, resulting in decreased fitness and ability. I’ve tried to attend classes in many places around the world and have never before found an instructor who not only understands the mechanics of how my muscles work, but has an endless supply of exercises and ideas to get me working and moving, pain free. I travel a lot for my work, so am lucky Erica’s also a fantastic online instructor, with her online-based sessions allowing me to maintain my routine wherever I am. Since starting to work with Erica, my range of movement has increased dramatically and she’s shared with me knowledge about how and why the exercises work, so I can understand my own movements. Her genuine empathy and accepting approach is refreshing and motivating; I have no hesitation in highly recommending Erica’s work.

- SIOBHAN

I’ve been taking private lessons from Erica for many years. As someone who’s had chronic back pain for 15+ years, Pilates (and especially my workouts with Erica) has truly helped me gain core strength and decrease my pain. Erica provided safe, individualized workouts for me when I was pregnant and after I gave birth. The time I spend working out with Erica is one of the best things that I do for my physical and mental health. It’s the best kind of self-care. Erica is a kind, organized, reliable person who truly cares about her clients. She’s both a teacher and a friend. I would highly recommend Erica for anyone interested in experiencing the benefits of Pilates.

- JEN

Erica took care of my clients, home, and studio so that I could go on a two-week vacation! I really was able to get into vacation mode as I knew everyone and everything was in great hands. Communication between us was smooth, friendly, and professional. I appreciated that she took the time to communicate so fully with me before, during, and after my trip. My clients loved her! I have many elderly clients and clients working with an injury or needing a more rehabilitative approach to movement. She knew exactly what she was doing with this demographic of people. She even inspired me to try different exercises that I usually do not teach with these clients, which I loved. I am always seeing what I can learn from other instructors. I look forward to having her back the next time I go on Vacation.

- Bre Corbin (Pilates Loft)

Of all the Pilates instructors, yoga teachers, and physical therapists I have worked with, I can honestly say that Erica is hands down the best. Since coming to her two years ago with a knee injury and the body ailments of a new(ish) mother of two, I am stronger, more flexible, and possess much greater postural awareness. Erica has an amazing breadth of knowledge when it comes to the human body and it’s inner workings – she can tell as soon as I walk into the studio which muscles need to be engaged or released just by looking at me. Her eye for proper body alignment is unparalleled, and she is very body-positive and truly focused on the health of your body. Sessions with Erica are fun yet challenging, and she never takes herself too seriously. She offers the perfect balance of chatting and exercising, without wasting the entire session talking instead of working out. Even if I’m feeling under the weather I make a commitment to be at our session because I know that both my body and my mind will feel better when I leave. Between her dedication to her clients and her depth of knowledge, Erica is the real deal.

- Alicia

I began struggling with severe SI and back pain four years ago, to the point where I could only sit for a few minutes at a time, and needed pain-killers for long car and plane rides. I tried physical therapy and sports chiropractors, to no avail. I began pilates group classes and started to feel better, but kept re-injuring myself, creating a very inconsistent work-out regime. It was a terrible rollercoaster, physically and mentally! I then began private pilates classes which helped immensely, and I found an amazing masseuse, which was also key. Still, my pain lingered. It wasn’t until I found Erica that I began to consistently feel strong and pain-free. Erica knows exactly how to train my body, through strengthening, re-aligning, and protecting my SI joint. (The root of my evils!) With Erica having immense knowledge of the spine, through her own personal injury, she can take one look at me and can spot what issues need to be worked on right then. Erica is top-notch in her field and has many layers within her expertise. We are now evaluating my diet and hormones and Erica has provided me with the supplements and foods catered to me, specifically. I truly enjoy working with Erica, she is a gift. We have fun, and I leave with a smile on my face!

- Michelle B

I was referred to Erica by a friend to see if she could help me with an old torn labrum shoulder injury that was still bothersome at times. We met several times and discussed my goals and she put together a comprehensive plan that addressed the injury plus other goals of mine, including weight loss and help with nutrition. She is a patient teacher and I felt like she truly listened to me and wanted me to succeed. The exercises she showed me have helped my shoulder strength and pain and the nutrition plan has resulted in some weight loss but more importantly overall better health.

- Wade

I started breath work with Erica not too long ago, and I already notice such a tremendous difference in my day to day life. I’ve always wanted to do breath work, but always had difficulty on my own whenever I tried. Having someone there to personally guide and curate your experience according to your own needs has made it unlike anything else. I’ve already noticed how much these sessions have helped with my anxiety in general by setting a relaxed tone for the rest of my week, but also in practice when I am placed into a stressful environment. The sessions and Erica are beyond great within themselves, but I also am beyond happy with how much the lessons have become engrained within my daily life.

- Arianna

Erica came and covered all my classes at my studio whilst I took a break. She was wonderful, extremely easy to work with, super professional and she jumped straight in. Made me feel really comfortable to leave everything and go away for a week. She ended up staying for 3 weeks so that I could extend my time off from teaching. I would highly recommend Erica and will be asking her to come back again soon!

- Karen (Inspire Health & Wellbeing Atelier)

I started seeing Erica as part of my postpartum recovery. She always knew how to give me a great workout, while being mindful of my specific condition and needs. Once we got further along, she definitely kicked my butt into shape. I love how Pilates can seem gentle and restorative at the time, but is sneakily effective! Now I’m expecting my second baby, and Erica has been wonderful at supporting me through an embryo transfer and the 1st two trimesters so far. Erica is so fun – great at distracting/entertaining you during tough reps! I love my sessions with her and am so pleased with the results I get from each session. I also love the fact that I am able to work with her in person and online. When she is teaching me online it’s almost as good as her being there in person. I consistently feel supported and challenged by the sessions we do online, and this has allowed me to continue seeing her on a weekly basis.
