There is still some space left for our Essential Oils + Yoga: October Workshop tomorrow, October 5th at The Gift in Grayling. Click here to pre-regiester and save $5!

In this workshop, which meets on the first or second Wednesday of each month, we will delve into our profoundly powerful sense of scent, and use it to tap into a deep level of balance and well-being during our yoga practice. Each month’s yoga practice and essential oils are different, and are based on what we need to bring balance into our lives for the time of year.

The workshop begines with an introduction of the oils we will use throughout the class, as well as their unique properies and benefits. Then, Mariah will lead a rejuvenating and relaxing yoga class, which is specifically created to coincide with the oils. These top-grade essential oils are applied aromatically, and topically throughout class by essential oil specialist, Nicole Mygrants. This class is inspired by the season, so it involves different oils and asanas each month. Each class is designed to leave students feeling regenerated, empowered, and balanced. This 90 minute workshop is open to all levels!

About Erin:

Yoga has floated in-and-out of my life since 1999, but my love for yoga stuck when it helped relieve my chronic migraines and depression/anxiety related to infertility.  It also served as a lifeline while working on behalf of individuals reentering the community from the criminal justice system.  Yoga helped me meet clients where they were at (emotionally, spiritually, energetically) and to just be present with them in that space.  While living Grand Rapids, I fell in love with Bapitste’s power hot yoga philosophy and a seed was planted…”maybe one day I could be a teacher.”  I noticed I felt awesome after doing the asanas.  Though, it became more that that, my husband calls me the “Pusherman of Yoga,” referencing the Curtis Mayfield song.  It’s true, yoga is like a drug for me; it started as a love of the postures, then came the breath, now the mind, body, spirit…yoga has infiltrated my life.  After moving to Gaylord, the owners of Yoga-45 Lynne and Amy were super supportive and helped me make the decision, to take the plunge, to do the 200-hour training course.  I was trained at Yen Yoga in Traverse City, in hatha yoga, under two amazing women, Jenny Lintvedt and Heidi Dietrich.  Completing the 200-hour training has made me realize there is still so much more to learn.  I will always be a student, humbly learning from those around me; always knowing my two greatest teachers in life will be my children.  I’m looking forward to going on this journey with yogis in the Gaylord community, and grateful for the opportunity to teach with such a beautiful group of people.  the essence of yoga is the union of mind, body, spirit; I hope when individuals leave a class I guide, their body feels strong, their mind feels peaceful and their soul shines bright.  Om Shanti, Om Peace, Namaste.
