As a long time athlete and personal trainer, Erin dabbled in yoga off and on (mostly off) for many years before becoming a consistent practitioner in 2008.  After finding relief both physically and emotionally, Erin wanted to share yoga with others.  In 2013, Erin completed her RYT 200 and immediately began teaching. Her curiosity fell more to the anatomical side of yoga, which led her to Yoga Tune Up®.  The discovery of Yoga Tune Up® Therapy Balls changed her life and left her practically free from painful past injuries.  With enthusiasm, Erin became a Certified Yoga Tune Up® Teacher in 2015.  She mixes her love of rolling out and yoga asana in every class helping her students find relief from their physical discomfort, spaciousness in their bodies and openness in their minds.Read my articles on the Tune Up Fitness blog here.
