About Studio Surrender

We are proud to be Erie, PA’s first yoga studio offering the Original 26 & 2 Series, with classes offered daily.

While the Original Series 26 & 2 is at the heart of Studio Surrender, it’s only one of the many ways to practice with us. Our diverse class schedule includes Vinyasa, Yin, Hatha, Kundalini, Hot Pilates, Mat Pilates, PiYO, Elemental Rhythm Breathwork, meditation, and more—with options ranging from strong and energizing to slow, restorative, and deeply grounding.

And you don’t need to be flexible, fit, or experienced to begin. Our classes are for real bodies and real people—from complete beginners to seasoned practitioners. Even if you’ve never stepped onto a yoga mat or followed an exercise program before, there is a place for you here.

Come as you are. Find the practice that meets you where you are.

 

About Vicke

I am devoted to creating spaces where transformation can unfold— in body, mind, and spirit. My path has taught me that true strength is found in vulnerability, peace arises when we speak our truth, and courage is born from walking our own way with integrity.

I teach the Original 26 & 2 series, offering this method as it was designed: precise, disciplined, and consistent—so students can experience its full physical and mental benefits. Separately, I guide Elemental Rhythm Breathwork, a distinct practice that uses conscious breath, sound, and intention to support emotional release, nervous system regulation, and inner awareness.

Though different in form, both practices are rooted in ancient wisdom and supported by modern science. Together, they invite resilience, presence, and reconnection to the intelligence already within each person.

Whether through heat or breath, I hold space with care and respect—allowing others to soften where needed, rise when ready, and return more fully to who they truly are.

Let’s rise, together.
