Erin Allan, MA, ERYT-500
I came to the discipline of yoga in my personal search for a healthy way to deal with stress in my life and have since become profoundly passionate about it. After working 8 years as a therapist in the counseling field, I discovered that helping others using only techniques employed by traditional talking therapy was shortsighted, and this method alone no longer resonated with me. I began a deeper exploration of the art and science of yoga (including asana, pranayama, meditation and philosophy), I have found through teaching these principals, a shift in consciousness will begin to take place in my students, and that awareness allows for greater healing to take place. My classes provide a joyful and safe space to explore, guided with both knowledge and intuition, always encouraging students to listen to their inherent wisdom. Over the last 10 years, I have taught almost 3,000 hours of various types of classes, including but not limited to: vinyasa, power, basics, restorative, ananda, yin, nidra, meditation, and workshops. I've had the pleasure of sharing this gift by teaching at various studios, large corporations, health-clubs, wellness centers, government facilities, apartment buildings, and through private lessons.
