Erica Chesnik
Erica Chesnik has been a certified teacher since 2013 and eventually became an advanced 500-hour certification as well. Erica found yoga to be the beginning of the path to understanding self-regulation and embodiment. Erica's yoga classes are thoughtfully designed to provide a fun, safe, anatomy based physical practice with a strong emphasis on the effective use of mindful breathing. Erica's yoga classes provide a movement and breathing experience that encourages the mind to connect more intentionally to the body. This begins merely as a physical practice, but ultimately leads to radical self-love and acceptance.
Erica holds additional certifications to include Certified Prenatal Yoga Teacher and FLOYO Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga Certified.
Wellness with Nature
Resting on 150 acres, River Mountain is bordered by Sweet Root Creek, Warrior Ridge and Tussey Mountain.

Creekside yoga platforms, a restored barn turned wellness space, and the calm of nature make this the ideal destination for peace and wellness.
Located just a few hours from D.C., Baltimore, and Pittsburgh, in the mountains of Pennsylvania, River Mountain is remote yet easy to access.

History
Warrior Path
Running parallel to River Mountain's eastern ridge is Warriors Path, the great Iroquois Indian highway from Six Nations country, New York, to the Catawba country in the Carolinas. The historic path along Sweet Root Creek was one of the longest and most heavily traveled land routes in eastern North America, connecting Indigenous peoples over hundreds of miles.
The Underground Railroad
Black Valley was an active route along the Underground Railroad. Local histories principally credit four, free black residents with leading the aid network in this area: Rev. John Fidler, Elias Rouse, Joseph Crawley, and James Graham. Just to the south of the River Mountain property are 13 unmarked graves of enslaved people who died traveling the route to freedom.
