How We Can Heal

Yoga & Youth Development with Erica Chang


Listen Later

Today on the How We Can Heal Podcast, Lisa Danylchuk and Erica Chang come together to discuss their love of yoga. The pair talk about their experience working with traumatized youth, practicing yoga to feel grounded, and what teaching looks like today.


About Erica Chang:

Erica has practiced yoga since 2010 and completed her 200 hour yoga teacher certification with Pamela Higley at Samdhana Karana Yoga. She has also completed the Yoga Behind Bars training and volunteered at Remann Hall, teaching yoga and meditation to youth.

With yoga, she has found a melding of the best things in her life: spirit, athleticism, sweat, breath, laughter, community, and rhythm. Her goal as an instructor is to offer a space to explore, allowing others to become curious about what they are capable of as they leave a little stronger, a little softer and a lot more balanced.
