Erin Cowan
In 1996, Erin was living in New York City, pursuing a career in theatre and film, racing all over, hoping to be "in the right place, at the right time." After a couple sleepless years, her health suffered, the joy within her drained, and she was simply no longer herself ... Eventually, a random twist of fate led her to Dharma Mittra's studio. There, at last, she took a deep breath and learned to sit. Soon, she was attending class regularly, developing her own practice, and once again feeling alive in her own skin. As her practice continued and deepened, she was eventually brought back home - to herself and the Midwest.
Since her first class years ago, Erin knew that she would be a lifetime student and dreamed one day of teaching. In April 2004, she found herself in the right place at the right time: a flyer for the Moksha Yoga Teacher Training Program caught her eye two weeks before it started - just enough time to enroll. Since then she has studied in-depth with Tias Little, Rod Stryker, and Aadil Palkhivala.
As a teacher, Erin aspires to give her students the gift that she has received from her teachers: the guidance to turn inward and connect to the inner light and healing power that resides within, not only to improve one’s own life, but the world we all share. |
