Erin Prichard has been teaching Vinyasa Yoga for over nine years in and around London.
Erin grew up in steamy Jacksonville, Florida surfing the waves of the South Atlantic. During university, she found something to create balance in her life and to replace the waves that were 200 miles to the east. After taking her first Vinyasa Yoga class in 2000 she was instantly drawn to the way Yoga influenced her emotionally, physically, and spiritually. She found meditation to be as powerful as sitting in the sea waiting for waves, requiring the same balance and stillness of mind. At this point she couldn’t have realized that this initial practice was going to be the catalyst for profound change.
In 2004, she wanted to share her passion with others and completed her 200 hour teacher training with Discovery Yoga in St. Augustine, Fl. Later that year she relocated to her current home in London, England. She is now a SYT, Senior Yoga Teacher. She began teaching in studios, businesses, privately, in schools, and at national and international retreats. She is also the head teacher of a teacher training program at Power Yoga Co. She believes as a teacher one is always a student and continues to seek out ways to hone her practice.
Over the years she has practiced all styles of Yoga, however Ashtanga based Vinyasa along with Jivamukti are her main passion. In 2007, she became qualified to teach children yoga with Yoga Bugs, and also completed an inspiring 40 hour teacher intensive with Yoga master Richard Freeman. She has attended many workshops and trained with some the world’s most inspiring teachers such as Shiva Rea, Stewart Gilchrist, Beryl Birch, David Swenson, Matthew Sweeney, Sharron Gannon,David Life, John Scott, Manju Jois and her first teachers Shri and Stan Hubbard. She is forever grateful to her teachers and to the practise of Yoga.
She is trainer of several 200 hour Teacher Training programs. One is in Umbria, Italy and an eco farm.
