45: Building Yoga Trade with Erica Hartnick – Nature, Community & Global Yoga Adventures

In this special episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Erica Hartnick, the inspiring founder of Yoga Trade. Erica’s grounded, humble nature shines through as she shares her journey of creating a global platform that connects traveling yoga teachers with transformative opportunities. Growing up in California’s Sierra Nevada foothills, Erica’s love for nature, adventure, and mindfulness led her to establish a life between Lake Tahoe and Costa Rica, where she facilitates nature-inspired yoga experiences and wellness retreats. In our conversation, she offers a raw and honest look at what it takes to run a meaningful yoga business, balance the demands of entrepreneurship, and live a life of exploration and connection. Erica’s story is a powerful reminder of the beauty in following your passion, living your truth, and building a community that uplifts others.
