ERIKA  discovered her ‘home’ in Tai Chi and Zen Buddhism at the late 90s. On both occasions – her first Tai Chi class with Leo Ming Sifu (after studying martial arts for almost a decade) and her first Zen retreat with Heila Downey JDPSN – she felt something click: “It just felt right, I felt like I was home, that I knew this.” Erika moved to Hartebeespoort and started training with Eddie Jardim Sifu in 2009 and has never looked back.  “Tai Chi is my passion I hope I will be able to teach and train until the day I die.”
