Erin Ehlers: E-RYT 500, C-IAYT, YACEP, LMT

I’ve taught yoga and movement for over 18 years, first as a hustling freelancer, until I opened Yoga on the Hill in 2008. I have over 2,500 hours of professional training for all things yoga, movement, anatomy and physiology. I’m certified as a Yoga Therapist, and I’m also a licensed massage therapist.

I consider myself an educator, and my yoga classes are meant to challenge, inform and illuminate. There are many aspects of modern yoga, and I choose the aspects that heal and interrupt the worst habits of our sedentary culture.

I teach the detail of movement in a way that everyone can understand. With a love for philosophy in my heart, you’ll hear about the deep roots of yoga when I teach. Though I have great interest in the traditions of yoga, I delve passionately into the sciences of biomechanics and kinesiology to teach from a perspective that questions assumptions about traditional yoga practice. Yoga should be uplifted by a modern understanding about movement, and I take part in that as a teacher.

I live on Orange Circle Farm with my husband, Jeff. I’m also a flower farmer, a role that indulges my wonder for the beauty of the natural world. This keeps me moving outside in nature, with dirt under my nails and lots of opportunities to squat!
