Meet Erin Roca

Erin Roca is a writer, yoga teacher, and tarot reader in Florida. Her primary focus is writing about sex-positivity and emotions-positivity. She loves to help people get in touch with their own unique sexuality through writing, open discussion, and play. Her work has been published in several online publications including Elephant Journal.

Erin draws inspiration from reading about varied topics such as the lives of Catholic Saints, traditional yoga philosophy, and Buddhism. She believes all these paths can to lead one to a higher awareness and an enhanced life. She is fascinated with how the mental, spiritual, and emotional facets of each human person can be developed and trained just like the physical body. Erin is currently writing a book on profanity due to be published in 2017.
