The Yoga Journey: Finding Strength, Community, and Inner Peace
Step into the serene sanctuary of Yoga 6 Trinity with studio manager and instructor Ericka Joy as she reveals the transformative power of yoga practice. Approaching their four-year anniversary in the bustling Trinity community, this vibrant studio has created more than just a place to exercise—it's cultivated a supportive environment where strangers become friends and everyone finds their unique path to strength and inner peace.
From her origins in cheerleading and dance to finding her calling through yoga during the uncertainty of COVID, Erica's journey mirrors what many practitioners discover: that yoga reveals capabilities we never knew we possessed. With refreshing candor, she dismantles the misconception that yoga requires pre-existing flexibility or fitness, emphasizing that "yoga is accessible to every body"—whether you're touching your toes or simply finding respite in child's pose.
The conversation delves into the studio's impressive range of offerings, from their signature heated classes that help muscles open more quickly to restorative sessions where even falling asleep is perfectly welcome. Beyond physical postures, Yoga 6 Trinity offers a full sensory experience—aromatic wild orange essential oils, mood lighting, carefully selected music, and those heavenly cold lavender towels during Shavasana create an immersive environment for mind-body connection.
What truly distinguishes this studio from others is the profound sense of community. Ericka shares touching stories of connecting with students navigating life challenges, from cancer battles to personal reinventions. In an increasingly digital world where face-to-face connections grow scarce, Yoga 6 Trinity provides a rare space for authentic human connection.

Welcome to the Branding Highway podcast, where local businesses meet the community and share their unique stories. Let's hit the road with your host and voice of the podcast, Mike Sedita.
Speaker 2:Hello out there and welcome to the Branding Highway podcast. You are now entering the highway and we are here today with Erica Joy. She is the studio manager and instructor for Yoga. 6 out in Trinity. Erica, how are you doing today?
Speaker 3:Hi, I am so great. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2:We are so great, we are so glad to have you on because, for us, yoga 6, I've worked with Yoga 6 in the past. I've been a member of Yoga 6 at periods in my life Really love the whole platform that you guys have out there and we really are looking forward to learning a little bit more about the studio out there in Trinity and, if I'm understanding correctly, you're located right across. Aren't they building like a giant Ashley furniture, like right across the street from you?
Speaker 3:My goodness they actually have Ashley Furniture, like right across the street from you. My goodness they actually have. And we got all these brand new lovely towers put up in front of us to support all the electricity and energy that this whole city block of an Ashley is consuming. So, yeah, they're about to open.
Speaker 2:You know it's pretty crazy, as I've been going out there since I started my publication out there in the summer of 2022. I started my publication out there in the summer of 2022. And over the past three years I have just watched it. Like every trip out to Odessa, there is a new building pops up, a new restaurant pops up, and now it's like filling in all the blanks in between as you go out 54. And I mean, thankfully, the traffic's not good at all. I can't even try to lie and make it sound like it's decent.
Speaker 3:Traffic's crazy. I actually looked up how many cars pass by in a 24-hour period and, if you can believe it, it's almost a million. It's just insane.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 3:That's out there, so we're growing.
Speaker 2:Hey, I mean that's good for you guys. A lot of traffic and that intersection where you are right, where the Trinity Boulevard kind of breaks off, you get a lot of traffic coming in and out through there, so that's great. So I mean, yoga 6 is a franchise. There's a bunch of Yoga 6s around. I know the one I previously went to was over in New Tampa. I know there's several. There's one out in Safety Harbor.
Speaker 3:They're all I guess individually owned and operated, but tell us a little bit about the location out there in Trinity. Yeah, so we are independent. Our owner she just owns the one studio. She's an amazing woman, single mama. She's had the studio since June of 2021. So we're coming up on our four-year anniversary on June 6th. It's called Yoga Six Day, so we're going to be celebrating lots of fun stuff. But it's really cool to see the growth and I love that we're a part of the Starkey community. We're right in front of Starkey, so it's really nice. People ride their bikes here super family. It's just a really nice environment.
Speaker 2:So how long? I mean? Well, first off, how long you've been out there since you guys opened, or how long have you been out there with the team?
Speaker 3:I actually came from the New Tampa studio, so I was over in New Tampa, popped over to Trinity and then I managed New Tampa. Then I came back over to Trinity. This has been my home studio for a while now and I've been back here for almost a year and a half and then I got a managerial role back in August.
Speaker 2:And if I remember correctly I don't know, maybe it's different the owner of the New Tampa studio, I think, lived down in Sarasota or was down there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he did. He owned that studio and St Pete he's since sold and now actually a member of the New Tampa studio purchased it and they're just doing incredible over there.
Speaker 2:I'll tell you I had a great instructor. I wish I could remember her name I have such a bad back and she was fantastic. I just I don't really remember. I think I had yogurt for breakfast this morning. I can't really remember beyond that. So you've been there for a while. Tell us a little bit about your journey. I mean, have you always been a yogi? How do you get into this line of fitness?
Speaker 3:Good question. So I've always been a part-time yogi. I kind of dabbled in it for many years. I have a cheerleading and dancing background and I took that love into teaching bar. So I started as a bar instructor and then, unfortunately, the bar studio that I worked at, bar three in Wesley chapel, closed its doors and then COVID happened. So I'm like, oh boy, what do I do? So I got my yoga training during COVID and then started teaching a sculpt class, which is with weights, maybe some bands, lots of fun, maybe add some sliders in, and I started teaching that and then grew my love of yoga and just transitioned into teaching yoga as well.
Speaker 2:All right, so let's back up. So you got your start cheerleading. Tell us a little bit about your cheerleading back. You threw it out there, so now we got to go down that road a little bit.
Speaker 3:So, wow, yeah. So I danced in my younger years, realized that bodies are limited. That doesn't mean we can't do everything, but limitations sometimes prevent you from everything that you love. So I have some interesting hips. The way that I'm built, my hips just don't open as they should for a dancer. So I took my dancing skills, moved it onto cheerleading, competed doing that for a while, stopped that in high school, went to college, all the things, and then love fitness and so that's when I got and I love dance. So that's when I got back into teaching barre after becoming a mama and, yeah, transitioned from the barre into yoga.
Speaker 2:And the barre is kind of it seems like it's a natural transition. You're talking about the, just so I understand because I'm not super educated on it, but we're talking about the barre that I see, like in Black Swan, that you like dance off of that barre, like there's certain movements and stretches and holds and positions to kind of get a workout off of that Exactly.
Speaker 3:It's the bar that goes around the room. You hold onto it Lots of tiny little micro movements, so you're getting a really good workout from that, yeah.
Speaker 2:Now I will tell you so. When I lived in Atlanta, the gym that I went to at the time had a studio upstairs and I had really bad back issues and a friend of mine had said look, why don't you try taking hot yoga? We don't call it Bikram yoga anymore because it it, you know, because of the stuff that went on with Bikram, but hot yoga was great. So I would train with weights, heavy, you know, three days a week, and then I would do yoga three days a week, and then I would do yoga two days a week, and at the time I had a spinal cord stimulator in my back from a from a motorcycle accident that was sending a signal to my back. The hot yoga got me so pliable and loose again that I just I stopped using the spinal cord stimulator.
Speaker 3:That's amazing. That's a great testimony to hot yoga. So our studio is a heated and warm studio, so we offer the best of both worlds. And what that heat does is it helps your body to open up more quickly so you're able to stretch a little bit deeper.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Flushing all those toxins out when you sweat. So it's just, it's great. We've actually just opened up. So yoga six, the six behind yoga six means that we have six different class styles. We should be called yoga seven now, because we're actually introducing a new modality and that one is called mobility. So that's speaking of what you have coming from an injury. So we want to be mobile, we want to be pliable, we want to be flexible. So that's really cool. So that's getting in there. It's also in a warmer room. We're taking our signature hot sequence and we're also adding a warm sequence. So same sequence. We do have a hot sequence, kind of like the Bikram that you were talking about. That's our only sequence that is set. So now we're offering the hot and a warmer temperature. Great for newbies to come to, or just. You know we live in Florida. Sometimes you don't want that heat, you just want a warmer temperature.
Speaker 2:And I'll tell you a funny story about taking hot yoga. When I first, the very first time I really took it, I had an apartment in New York City. I was living in Hell's Kitchen and I was looking up places to take hot yoga and I went to this little studio and when I tell you, erica, it was maybe 600 square foot studio. It was packed. I had never been to hot yoga before and I was a little bit bashful right, so I'm wearing like a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt and I got in there the first time. I mean I wanted to tap out and die. It was so bad and it was January and it was freezing outside so I had to wear warm clothes to walk to the studio. And then I got there by the second, by the second session, like I had little tiny shorts on, no shirt on, like I'm never coming back and wearing clothes again because this was miserable. But that's how I was indoctrinated into hot yoga. It was. It was trial by fire, literally it's so surprised.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, so we definitely love when people come in and they're like they're not quite sure what to expect, but you get in there and you just have like the best sweat session of your life. It's like you're in a sauna, so you're getting that benefit too, which is really amazing.
Speaker 2:So go ahead. No, I was gonna say so. I'm along those lines, like that was kind of like I didn't know, I was uneducated on the process. You've been doing this for a long time. What is one of the biggest myths or misconceptions that you run into when someone comes in? Do they think it's going to be like like Jane Fonda or like Olivia Newton-John let's get physical or do they think it's going to be sleeping Like what's the main thing you're educating a newbie on?
Speaker 3:So good question. So one of the things that we get is people think that they can't do it, it's not for them. Which yoga is accessible to every body, which is really cool. It doesn't matter what level of fitness you're at, it doesn't matter anything about you, just come in and try. We have so many different classes that it fits the mold to meet you where you are. So one of our primary classes is a restoration, a restorative practice.
Speaker 2:That's the one I would go to. That was my after. I would work out that's what I needed and it really was. It wasn't a lot of movement, it was a lot of holding and stuff, so it was good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so that helps to open up the major muscle groups of your body, such as your hips, your back, your shoulders. So you know a lot of people on the computer all day long, not doing a lot of movement. So it's like come in, move your body so you're able to open up and get some relief. And then I love, at the end of every class we have a quiet section called Shavasana that gives your body time to rest and truly restore, so we shut off the lights, your body time to rest and truly restore.
Speaker 3:So we shut off the lights, you have some light music playing, we hold lavender towel. It's so beautiful. You just sit there and you kind of let gravity just pull you down and you truly get to. Some people have a hard time shutting off their mind, so they might be fidgeting and that's okay. But it helps you to learn how to become into that meditative state because throughout meditation you can truly heal yourself mentally and physically.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all right. So I'm going to tell an embarrassing Shavasana story at Yoga 6. So normally I would try to get to Yoga 6 and get there a little early so I could get a spot in the back, because I'm about six foot 230 pound guy. I'm big, you know. I'm in like just like tights or whatever. I'm wearing shorts and there's a bunch of these petite women in the room that are like flexible and they can bend their arm and head behind you know they're. They got all these moves and I'm I'm not that flexible, I can make, I can manage, and I always loved my instructor would always say this is your practice, you know how you do it, it do it, it's at your pace.
Speaker 3:So it kind of took the pressure off, which was great that is sorry to interrupt but yeah, go ahead as a teacher when I see so many variations and so many people doing so many different things. Because it is that's what it's about. It's about you and your practice, it's not about anybody else. I'm just there, the instructors are there to just guide you and and then you do you in there. So that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:So this one particular evening and I would do it in the evening after I'd work all day and try to go to clear my mind before I could fall asleep, and I get there a little bit late. Now I'm in the very front of the room. It's packed. You know that studio in New Tampa. You walk in, I'm all the way to the mirror in the front of the room we're doing Shavasana and I fall asleep and I farted and woke myself up and I kind of looked around like surprised. I woke myself up after I had fallen asleep and I looked up at the instructor and like with sheepish I'm like was that me? And she was trying not to laugh at me. But I look in the mirror and I see everybody kind of chuckling.
Speaker 3:So the middle of a yoga six session from shavasana, I was so relaxed it happens, and that's one of the cool things is like, when you're doing those twists, you're actually getting all that stuff to move around, which is what you want. You want that stuff to be around, which is what you want. You want that stuff to be released. And hey, sometimes it happens. But that is great to get the bowels moving, for sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was definitely one of those fun, interesting evenings, leaving with all these women like chuckling and laughing. I'm like, all right, you got me, ha ha ha. So, with that being said, I mean we talk about your work and what you do and what you enjoy when you're working, when you're not in studio. What kind of hobbies and activities do you do outside the studio? Do you like going to the beach? Do you like to skydive? Do you, you know, do you like to juggle flaming knives? What is your, what is your hobby?
Speaker 3:ever have tried skydiving although I would flaming knives. I don't think that's for me, but I love to hop on a paddleboard and go out to just a crystal clear river, go paddleboarding. Of course love the beach, love live music and dancing, and then just anything with my kiddos. They're growing up so fast, so any moment that I can get to kind of capture that time with them I will take it.
Speaker 2:Okay, so how old are the kids, boys or girls?
Speaker 3:So my son is 17, about to be 18. He's going into his senior year of high school. So this is the summer where we get to go tour colleges and all that fun stuff, and my daughter's 13 going into eighth grade.
Speaker 2:And they get along good. Big brother is protective, or has big brother beat the crap out of her?
Speaker 3:He doesn't beat her up. He just he's like nah, she's bothersome Like nah.
Speaker 2:In five more years, when all her girlfriends are coming over to the house. He'll probably have a lot more interest at that point, absolutely. And then when you talk about music music, if you're. If we jumped in your car and you turned the radio on, what's the what's coming on the radio? Are we listening to uh shady, uh shade 45. Is it 80s? What are we? What are we listening to?
Speaker 3:probably listening to a little Rufus Dussault or some like hip hop tribe called.
Speaker 2:Quest. Okay, a little world tour, a little word tour and a little scenario.
Speaker 2:That's Tribe Called Quest back in the day, alright, yeah, I'm kind of in Right now I've been in a little bit of a mix between I mean not even I've been in a lot of yacht rock mix between I mean not even I've been in a lot of yacht rock lately. I've been kind of in the yacht rock mode right now. So I'm I'm going on vacation soon so I'm maybe I'm mentally preparing for that Just a quick little getaway to Cozumel, I mean in Tampa, with a cruise ship. You have limited options of where to go, but just to get away for a few days, heading out to. I'm actually leaving tomorrow to go and this isn't going to air until probably a little behind. I'll break down the fourth wall here like Deadpool, probably not going to air until sometime next week.
Speaker 2:By the time I get back from this trip. I will be engaged. So my girlfriend doesn't know. She's going to get a ring. You're hearing it first on this podcast. She's going to find out, probably tomorrow Well, not probably. She's going to find out, you know, on the first night of the cruise when we get there.
Speaker 3:So oh my God, Awesome news yeah.
Speaker 2:So it's funny, we, we were going to just go. It was her birthday or 50th birthday. Her son just graduated high school, so it was going to be like me and her and her boys and her folks. And then she's like, well, it's my 50th, I'll just tell my girls and see if any of them want to come, not expecting any of them to come. And now six of her girlfriends are coming on this trip too. So in front of her friends and her family and everybody, she's gonna, and she embarrasses easy, I don't embarrass easy. So we'll see if the whole dining hall goes crazy. And then this is gonna air. What's that?
Speaker 2:that's so cool, I'm so excited, yeah so it should be interesting, so it'll be good, so all right. So so paddle boarding. Oh, the other thing I wanted to ask you are you not worried about, like alligators?
Speaker 3:no, no, I'm, I can. You, can you're in clear water? I like to go clear into clear water and you can see them. If they're coming along, you just stay away. They have no interest in us. I'm a native floridian so I'm so used to being around that no my girlfriend says the same thing.
Speaker 2:She's a native floridian. And then there was a whole thing about a woman. They bumped the alligator, an, an 11 foot alligator. The alligator flipped, the boat, took her under and now she's. She's had no shot at getting me into that water.
Speaker 3:I hear that, but I think they were in like a foot of water.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, got to be smart about where you go.
Speaker 3:That's all right. I'm sorry that that happened to her.
Speaker 2:But yeah, it was terrible, but it's kept me out of the water. We sharks and alligators, let's go. She's like let's go scuba diving. I'm like I'm not going scuba diving and then I'm like you're tiny, a shark's not even gonna want to eat you. I'm like a whole meal for a shark. They would go after me.
Speaker 3:I'm bigger maybe in Cozumel, because the water is clear down there. So give it a try. At least go snorke.
Speaker 2:You know, I was in South Africa once years ago and the guy's like, hey, do you want to go swim with sharks? And I'm like, do I want to go swim with sharks? I want to drink cafe Americano on this cliff and look over Table Island. I don't want Table Mountain. I don't want to go into the water with sharks. I'm crazy.
Speaker 3:That's funny.
Speaker 2:So what I like to always ask people that are involved in business because it really helps other business owners and people in management to kind of overcome has there been a time in your life whether it was going through COVID or, you know, the real estate crash, or a time with your kids growing up and relational stuff where you've experienced a hardship, where you're saying to yourself, you know what, I just don't know if I'm going to make it through this and then you kind of persevered to get to the other side and give like an example of that and how you overcame.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, so there's been quite a few of those moments in my 48 years, but the thing that comes to the forefront of my mind would be when I went through a divorce, very amical divorce, but I was a stay at home mom. And then you're like, oh, oh, all of a sudden it's just me. What am?
Speaker 3:I doing just navigating, finding that passion within.
Speaker 3:And that's when I kind of stepped up into the leadership role and got into management and then just found a little piece of myself that I was missing, didn't think that I could, and then perseverance kind of kicked in and then I developed skills that I didn't think I had.
Speaker 3:And, yeah, it's really nice that growth path, because sometimes we get stagnant and we forget how freaking amazing we are and that we are truly capable. And yoga is actually a really good place to kind of remember that, because we're in the business of uplifting people and empowering people. We have a motto called strong, calm mind, strong vibe. So we want to be able to allow you to just kind of chill out for a minute. So we want to be able to allow you to just kind of chill out for a minute, give yourself that time to fully focus on you and really find that strength within. So it just kind of came full circle to where I got into this industry and empowered myself and, through the amazing community that we built here, feel empowered from all these other really cool people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what it is it's like I don't want to say it's, it's, I mean it is it's like complacency. You kind of get in a routine of what your life is or what you think it's going to be, and then someone throws a rock in the water and these ripples start to happen and now you kind of have to ride the wave to figure out how you're going to get to shore. And you know, the cool thing about it is from that experience. Whenever you go through the next trial or tribulation, you can draw from that experience.
Speaker 2:Like I know, for me there was a period from in 2019 leading up to COVID actually like before COVID, leading up to COVID where just the world was on fire, like there was just chaos. It was like a 45 window of like just stuff being thrown at me left and right. And when I get in a mode now where stuff is kind of going that way, I just think to myself like I made it through that, which this seems really bad now, but I made it through that and this is nothing even close to as bad as that is. So I know I'm going to get through this. It gives you that benchmark of success to know that you can persevere.
Speaker 3:That's true, I love that. The benchmark of success, yeah, and I mean it's life is a roller coaster. We're up at the top, we're down at the bottom. It's that constant flow and it's you just got to keep moving, you got to keep in your mental psyche and you got to keep moving physically. And that's why I love to like welcome people here, because once we stop moving, whether it's in our mind or our body, we're on that ride down.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:We want to keep moving, keep trying new things, and that's another thing. People come in and maybe sometimes people call, but then they don't make that first step in because it's scary. It's scary Like even going to a big box gym. You're like I don't know, I'm scared, I don't, I don't out of my comfort zone. But I would just encourage everybody to just just try. Whatever you're interested in, whether it be yoga, paddleboarding, anything. Just try, take that first step and you'll be surprised at the community of people that are there to uplift and help, support and share their knowledge and want to see you succeed.
Speaker 2:You know it's funny. You say that it's one of the things that is a little bit scary for the future and I mean, maybe not for you and I.
Speaker 2:We're in a generation of kind of that Gen X generation where you almost were like you learn to swim by being thrown in the deep end of the pool and you just kind of figured it out. Um, but one of the things that scares me and and seeing like kids like my, my girlfriend's kids are 18 and 15 and they're great kids um, but kids are so reliant and there's community, robust and, like you said it, like all it takes is for you to walk in, like walking in yoga six. I, you know, I just walked in the door and say tell me a little bit about what you have going on. Once you break down that initial, just that breaking of the ice, it the rest of it's easy, especially with you guys. And this is kind of a plug for ease of use.
Speaker 2:Calendar is online, right, like I can go to the yoga six app. I can go to the yoga six website, find my can go to the Yoga 6 website, find my studio, find my class schedule, book it and reserve a spot in that studio. Like it is really easy to use. I don't have to pick up the phone, I don't have to go. Hey, erica, this is Mike. What availability do you have? What classes are coming up? It's super easy, but nowadays it's tough for people, right, but nowadays it's tough for people younger kid, younger adults, you know, even 30s and under to be like they're kind of afraid of that, like they're afraid of that personal interaction, and it's a little scary it is.
Speaker 3:And then you think about oh boy, like ai is coming on board. It's like, oh man, we're gonna be replaced by some sort of artificial intelligence Like you guys. Like, look up the sky, there's birds, there's clouds, there's a sun. It's gorgeous. Look down, there's there's all kinds of things that we need to be grateful for. So it's just pausing and taking a moment, putting the phone away, taking the earbuds out and just being grateful that you're here in the.
Speaker 3:Moment to kind of live. You're here to have experiences. So, yeah, I am a little bit fearful for this um generation, but we need to just keep the hope alive and just just allow them to understand that there's so much more than devices. Right, Just get out, try something new, be active. Come do a yoga class, and that's another thing. We welcome children 13 years old and older to come and try it. You can come. You can come with your parent, you can come with your friend, but come into the community. See all these different age groups that will support you and help you feel empowered, and we do lots of modifications here.
Speaker 3:So that just goes back to anybody can do yoga. Just because you might go into a hot yoga class and you're seeing somebody else do something like get out of your head and just get into. Okay, what can I do? Like you need to quit worrying about what we cannot do. What can we do? Okay, Maybe we can sit in a child's pose today, and that's enough. I've had people come into class, literally lay there and sleep. It's not.
Speaker 2:I've done it, I've totally done it. Yeah.
Speaker 3:How are you do it? If this is your place for refuge and you need to take a moment, take a beat, come here, relax, feel empowered, enjoy the community we have just got it just gives me the chills. The most amazing people that come together and support and share their stories and we are just all here to uplift each other and help each other grow.
Speaker 2:It's funny. So Yoga 6, where I was in new Tampa it was right around the corner from my house. At the time when I was taking those yoga classes, when I was just doing restore, I had both my parents were alive at the time and I was taking care of them. I was married to my ex-wife. We had two dogs. My house was chaos, like always chaos. I literally was paying for a subscription to go and some days just sleep in the studio where it was quiet and there was music and I could zone out and like it's funny. I mean it's crazy, it's funny, but that's kind of what it was.
Speaker 3:You did that and we're a full sensory experience and what that means is, as soon as you come in the door, you're going to see a warm, friendly smile. You're going to smell some delicious wild orange. It's like you're in an orchard. We've got some cool beats going. Once you get into the classroom you're going to find your spot. You're going to hear some more awesome music. The lights change so we have like a warm purple glow, a blue glow, and you're just going to feel the love. You get that cold lavender towel at the end. You're just going to feel fully supported in your little cocoon and just do what you can and have the best time.
Speaker 2:So if there's one thing I mean there's a bunch of things. You just touched on a bunch of them right there but if there's one thing you want people to know, they're listening to this. If they're out in West Pasco, or you know, or they're looking for a new studio, they're looking to change things up, or they live in Starkey and they just want to get find some like minded people in the community. What's the one thing they need to know about Yoga, Six Trinity that you want to convey to them here?
Speaker 3:Wow, there's so many things, but I think the most important thing which I've touched on is we are just a supportive community. We I just I love what we're building here. We truly are building a safe space, a safe refuge for you to come in. Just take that first step. You know, I like hug strangers. I've cried with strangers that I don't even know, because they get in here and like I'm just going to make me cry. They're going. You know, we're all going through something. We are all going through something. This one particular person was going through cancer and she needed a space to just to just detox and relax and build herself back up from what she went through. I didn't know her, but I felt her. We just sat there and hugged and we just had a moment to just feel supported, feel accepted and just to feel loved and encouraged and to know that you can do this.
