March Yogi of the Month (Hanover)

Meet Erika!

What's your favorite yoga pose?

Tree pose! (and most single leg balances) - the combination of strength building, balance, and how it quiets my mind makes it my favorite.

What is something(s) that brings you balance?

Yoga, time outside in nature with loved ones, being around art, seeing live theater, cooking a delicious dinner with beautiful local ingredients, all help me feel a restored sense of balance when the pressures of a stressful work-life and the challenges our country is facing become heavy. 

What is something about you that your Mighty community may not know about you?

I recently took on the role of CEO of a Vermont-based company called Turtle Fur, an outdoor/ski accessories company that was founded in 1982 in Stowe by a badass single mom named Mille Merrill (who, in her 80s, still skis to this day!) 

What makes you Mighty? 

I feel my most Mighty when I am part of a group of people who come together to overcome obstacles to accomplish a goal, whether at work, with family, or in my community. I believe strongly in the power of the collective, that we are all strongest together.
