About Erin

From an early age, Erin knew she wanted to be involved in "health," but originally figured this meant going the route of Western medicine. It wasn't until an accident, and feeling quite depressed in life, brought her to the yoga mat during her junior year in college at Virginia Tech. Yoga saved her quite literally, from depression, excess weight gain and from chronic pain that had resulted from a severe bike crash her freshman year in college. 

​

Since that first yoga class in 2001, Erin has amassed over two thousand hours of training in Yoga, Thai Bodywork, Holistic Health Coaching and two degrees in science - Biology and The Science of Food, Nutrition and Exercise from Virginia Tech (with a minor in chemistry.) All that science and knowledge about the body gave her a strong launchpad for refining her focus on holistic health and wellness. 

 

Being immersed in nature, surrounded by your community, eating good food, and taking care of the body shape what Erin brings to each of her students and clients. She has found these to be the keystones of happiness and joy in life.

​

Erin currently resides in Fayetteville, West Virginia with her husband and beloved dog, Osa.  She has a beautiful home studio above her garage where she has small classes and sees clients. When she isn’t in her studio, she loves cooking, gardening, paddle boarding, hiking, climbing, mountain biking, or just about anything outside.

Help us make Erin's dreams come alive.

With the help of so many of Erin's friends, students and community, we are going to carry on Erin's legacy by building a Yoga Shala in her honor.

 

The location of this Shala (Retreat Center) will be in Fayetteville, West Virginia.

​

Our hope is to break ground in the spring of 2025, but we need a little help from our friends. The first set of gentle steps in this process is to raise money, spread awareness, and collaborate on her honor.
