With twenty-four getaways under her belt and the same passion since day one for leading these transformational trips, an Erica Stanzione Retreat is so much more than just a luxurious vacation. It is a true holistic offering of how incredible we have the ability to feel when we give ourselves the gift of space from work and our responsibilities at home. Moving our bodies vigorously each day, calming and resetting our nervous systems with breathwork and meditation, processing and elevating all things internally through journaling, nourishing our souls with deep connections and high-quality meals, all while marveling at unforgettable landscapes in paradise, is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.
These rare and unparalleled wellness escapes not only restore and reset us, but reshape how we live and work when we return home.
In addition to extended yoga, meditation, breathwork, and journaling sessions each day, both of these retreats involve culturally significant excursions that include, but are not limited to, boating and snorkeling, salsa dancing, hiking, drumming on the beach, a cooking class, coffee and chocolate tasting, private walking tours, oyster harvesting, national park tours, and exceptional meals.

About Erica
Growing up as an athlete, Erica always felt a strong connection to physical movement. It wasn’t until her early twenties that she desired a stronger connection to her emotional self and a deeper sense of fulfillment within that movement. Since 2003, she has been a devoted yoga student, practicing and studying all over the world, which led her to completing extensive certifications and truly learning the depth of work she was meant to share in this lifetime.
Erica guides public classes and a private clientele in Manhattan and New Jersey, and hosts wellness retreats both domestically and internationally, with offerings that have included Mexico, France, Spain, Iceland, Ecuador, Morocco, and Italy. She has also taken her passion for fostering community and created a transformative Yoga Alliance certified 200-hour teacher training program that she leads each year, and has graduated ninety-five trainees as of 2025.
Erica’s unique style of classes, workshops, getaways, and trainings is strongly driven by the emotional and spiritual aspects of the practice, but also invites empowering levels of strength both mentally and physically. The intention behind everything she creates is to serve as a sacred container where her students feel safe to step further into their power, confidence, emotional intelligence, spiritual connection, and evolution.
Erica’s breathwork, meditation, yoga, and journaling practices have radically shifted, healed, and elevated every single aspect of her life, and she is eternally grateful to be able to share these life-changing tools with every yogi she is blessed to cross paths with.
