Welcome to the space where your return begins.

Come Home to Yourself

Hi, Im Erika Blakely.

Life Coach - Yoga Instructor - Holistic Nutritionist - Leader of Global Yoga Retreats

REKA was born from a personal journey, one of remembering, reclaiming, and rising into a more embodied life.

REKA Began as a Return to Self

I didn’t set out to build a business.
I set out to find my way back to myself.

On the surface, everything looked fine — the full calendar, the responsibilities, the endless roles I had collected over time. But inside, I felt disconnected: from my body, from my truth, from the part of me that felt fully alive.

I wasn’t broken. But I had lost the deeper connection to myself.

Through movement, breath, stillness, and inquiry, I slowly peeled back the layers that weren’t truly mine. I listened. I asked hard questions. I gave myself permission to feel. And little by little, I began to come back — not to who I was before, but to a more honest, more alive version of myself.

Not Just a Brand,
A Way of Living

REKA isn’t here to fix anyone.
It’s here to hold space. For honesty. For rest. For awakening.

This work isn’t about surface-level “healing” or spiritual performance. It’s about remembering who you are and how you want to lead your life — not from pressure, but from presence.

REKA was built to offer the kind of space I wish I had when I needed it most — real, raw, and rooted in truth.

Rooted in Culture, Connection, and Presence

Travel has shaped me. Not just for its beauty, but for what it reveals.

Experiencing different ways of living — especially in cultures where slowness, connection, and embodiment are honoured — helped me see how disconnected we’ve become in the Western world.

REKA retreats are intentionally rooted in place and presence. Because real transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when we step into new rhythms, release old patterns, and remember what it feels like to truly live.

If You’re Here, You Already Know

If something in you is stirring — listen.

You don’t need to start over.
You don’t need to become someone new.

You just need space to come home to yourself.

That’s what I created REKA for. And if you’re ready, I’d be honoured to walk with you.
