AcroYoga with Erica Montes

Erica Montes (SYT) first explored movement through performance art, acrobatics, and theatre. She encountered yoga and meditation as a teenager and, after some years working as an actor, found a natural connection between the intense body discipline in the theatre and eastern practices that promote mindfulness through physical movement - as a vehicle to spirituality. This sparked a lifelong interest in exploring conscious movement and meditation.  

Erica subsequently completed a 200-hour Hatha yoga teacher training in London with Elena Voyce in 2008, followed by a 500-hour certification with the renowned Edward Clark’s much celebrated Tripsichore Yoga in 2009. She gained her level 1 & 2 certifications to teach AcroYoga with co-founders Jason Nemer & Jenny Sauer-Klein in 2008 (Greece) & 2012 (USA).

Erica was one of the first AcroYoga teachers in Europe. Through further training, she became qualified to teach AcroYoga International Immersions in 2013. Having led dozens of 30-hour intensives worldwide, reaching students in the thousands, she became a mentor for other teachers.

She is also a qualified Thai massage therapist, having taken part in countless trainings for 15+ years and traveling to Thailand regularly to further her studies.  

Erica has been based in London for over 20 years and continues to teach internationally, inspiring students through her unique blend of artistry, discipline, and mindful play.
