Erin Goldstein

Erin began teaching in 2019/2020 (“We all know how that went . . .”) After a stint of Zoom & Facebook Live classes and starting back out with several Chair Yoga classes around Effingham, she is eager to get back into a studio and practice on the mat together!

On philosophy, Erin says “Yoga, to me, is not about the cute clothes, or doing a pose that will impress everybody. To me, practicing yoga is a tool to help accept and care for our bodies, to clear the mind and build focus, and to help manage emotions and anxiety. I also really geek out on the science of the mind-body connection.”
