Erika Newell didn't grow up feeling that her body was particularly strong, graceful or coordinated. She mostly just wished that this part of her was thinner or that that part was curvier, and prayed that no one would notice how far her ribs stuck out. After undergoing a bilateral mastectomy for breast cancer at age 31, she decided to get real with herself and face her body. It was yoga that facilitated that process. During a Yoga for Women Cancer Survivors class, Erika was surprised to find that she actually started to feel good about herself in those moments of stretching and releasing, opening and folding. She began to dream that someday she would be able to share that delightful feeling of discovering one's vitality through yoga with other women who have been affected by cancer.
Erika has been teaching yoga since 2012. She trained for Yoga for Cancer with Tari Prinster here at Circle Yoga. With a newfound confidence and love of her body, Erika soon started working out with weights and became a Certified Personal Trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine in 2016. She currently specializes in functional mobility.

As the student taking classes or workshops at the studio, via livestream or by video (the “Classes”) with Circle Yoga Cooperative (CYC), I understand that the Classes include physical movements and exertion. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in the Classes. I represent that I am in good health and physical condition and I have no medical condition which would prevent my full participation in the Classes. In addition, when in the Classes, I will make the instructor aware of any medical conditions or physical limitations before class begins. If I am pregnant, become pregnant, or I am post-natal or post-surgical, my signature below verifies that I have my physician’s approval to participate. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Classes I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, which I might incur as a result of participating in the program. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Classes, I expressly irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or may have hereafter for any reason against Circle Yoga LLC, its owners, employees, and independent contractors, for injury or damages that I may sustain as a result of participating in a Class.
