Erin Mackey (she/her)

Erin (she/her) is an Advanced Teacher of Therapeutic Yoga, Yoga Therapist (in training!), and reiki practitioner. Erin began attending yoga classes regularly in 2020 to refill her cup during a time of emotional and physical burnout. She was profoundly impacted by the therapeutic benefits of her own practice, and completed her 200hr training at laughing river yoga in 2023. After this training she discovered the growing field of Yoga Therapy, and fell in love with the modality. She is currently in the process of completing her 800 hr Yoga Therapist Certification through Kripalu School of Integrative Yoga Therapy. (If you’re curious about Yoga Therapy - ask her anything!!!)

Erin’s classes offer a blend of mindful movement, slow flows, somatic exercises, yogic philosophy, pranayama (breath work), mudras, meditation, and settling into deep rest. Erin believes that yoga is for everyBODY, and that each of our bodies hold profound wisdom, unique to us. She provides a safe, inclusive, accessible space for students to explore what’s present in their experience, and empower them to listen to their bodily cues throughout class.

She teaches from a therapeutic lens and often themes her classes around specific mind-body-spirit benefits. Her favorite classes to teach are restorative, slow flow, gentle, yin, and yoga nidra. In these spaces, she empowers and offers students tools to slow down, arrive in the present moment, practice embodiment, and drop into a place of deep rest amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. 

She can’t wait to meet you on the mat 🤍
