We believe wellness best serves as a daily practice, to bring you calm, peace and true holistic health long-term. We invite you to listen to your own body's needs in how you use our live classes and digital library of practices. Here is a map to use as a framework as you explore what is right for your bio-individuality: +Begin by establishing a daily practice starting with the Fundamentals, Fascia Rolling, How to Breathe, and Foundations of Restorative Movement, and our Live Interactive Classes. +Focus on shifting your sleep by discovering sleep rituals, trying each new habit nightly for at least two weeks to find what is right for you. +Each week implement one to two pillars of nutrition consistently until they become naturally integrated. +Meditate daily, sometimes with a full video, but even if it’s just a few moments. +Schedule your movement practices into each day so they remain a priority as life carries on. The movement videos are designed to be returned to many times to ensure consistent patterning, strengthening, and awakening of all of your muscles and your nervous system. Moving forward, continue to practice daily movement, meditation, and healthy sleep and nourishment.

The Digital Membership provides guidance and support for holistic nutrition by guiding you to greater mindfulness and listening to what your body needs, then learning to eat to fulfill those needs rather than being driven by emotional eating or otherwise. Our holistic nutrition philosophy is science based as well as rooted in the belief of food as medicine, nourishment and joy. Erika has formed her holistic approach around two pillars. One, to be in tune with the body and listen to what it needs on any given day. And two, to eat whole, real foods that are grown thoughtfully and minimally processed.

Both yoga and pilates are breath centered, mindful movement practices to connect deeply with the body with a focus on alignment. Yoga focuses on the end range of movement and has more static holds, whereas pilates is working on the smaller movements, spinal alignment, proper joint function, and integration of the core. The Erika Bloom Method encompasses both pilates and yoga, as well as Alexander, Feldenkrais, Bartenieff, Franklin, Klein, Pilates, Zero Balancing, therapeutic yoga, Structural Integration, evolutionary movement, functional movement, postural connection, somatic experiencing, breath work, holistic nutrition, rolfing, myofascial balancing, gyrokinesis and more. The method supports holistic mindful living through these practices and helps you find strength and ease by connecting to the deep inner body. The method’s approach to beautiful and functional alignment always feels healing, calming and centering.

Each case of lower back pain has its own cause, based on the individual. Improving balance in the muscular and fascial systems, aligning the skeleton, and reducing stress are great places to start. The whole body needs to be considered when addressing pain patterns because the pain is often the ‘victim’ and the ‘criminal’ is elsewhere. Having a daily practice of balancing movement and self care is key. Inside our live interactive classes, Erika and our teachers work with you on form, balancing the structure and imbalances of your body, and will give you the tools to find your own deep connection. Our work is individualized, anatomically based, and interactive with live instructors giving you guidance and personalized corrections in real-time. We invite you to join us for a live Cue & Correct class to learn what is true for you and work on solutions with Erika and our expert teachers to find relief and true healing.

Structural Integration is a hands-on process that focuses on the fascia, or connective tissue, that surrounds and gives structure to the muscles, bones and organs in the body. Also known as rolfing, structural integration is based on the ideas of Dr. Ida Rolf that our fascia largely affects the state of our wellbeing and should be addressed as part of healthful movement and life. Fascia gives muscles their shape and informs the body’s structure, surrounding every cell in the body. An endlessly connected web, bathed in lymph, the fascial system is its own communication system, which affects our body’s innate ability to heal itself. As a licensed structural integration therapist, Erika and our teachers apply their expertise of the fascial system across our offerings in the membership. This is important because when we’re trying to make changes in the body, fascia is integral to the work of establishing balance and order. Fascial integrity leads to easeful, flowing movement and beautiful, connected strength.

A proprioceptive disorder, scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine that relates to an imbalanced fascial tensegrity pattern. Our method helps in releasing what’s holding the curves of the spine and teaches one to support new found expanded alignment. Inside our classes, we work on lengthening, expanding and realigning. We are creating space while layering on top strength and stability to support beautiful alignment.

Erika created a custom movement kit that includes all of her go-to props which we use in our classes, including a yoga block, resistance bands, ankle weights, a release ball, and a soft over ball. This collection of props was crafted to enhance your membership practice, however we do also have a variety of prop-free workouts, meditations, and wellness conversations you can practice with as well.
