Yoga

Breathe, balance, be. As we share in the practices of Yoga, we experience the skillfulness of conscious connection. Yoga practice offers us the opportunity to pay attention to our breath, to navigate movement in the body in a good way, and to develop stress-relieving methods that purify our mind and bring us back to clarity. Within a Yoga practice we find self - discovery, ancient wisdom, and deep connections. Each individual practice and class will offer variations of breathing, movement, and meditation.

Erin Schifferli - Yoga Bio

Yoga arrived in Erin’s life in the year 2000. The practice brought healing for her shoulder pain and a newfound sense of wellbeing. She was both inspired and curious! Breathing, balancing, and most powerful of all - being - fostered greater awareness and attentiveness in her life. Discovering this was part of her impetus to deepen her practice and attend teacher trainings to gather further insight. From the first pause on a mat, she sensed the power that Yoga has to offer individuals, communities, and the world. Erin understood that Yoga impacts the practitioner, as well as the planet. The ripples of the connections continue to grow ever outward. Part of her ripple expansion is to share the practice.

Meditation, movement, and time outdoors in the wonders of Nature support her as a whole person, partner, mother of four, and business owner. Erin is grateful to have learned from many teachers and mentors over the years. She maintains a 500 HR E- RYT with continual life study and an ever evolving daily Yoga practice. Currently residing in Amherst, MA, she offers both in-person and virtual classes, private sessions, Yoga Therapy, Nutrition Education / Counseling, and Doula Birth Services, including birth education /preparation.
