  Review of Erin Goldman MSW RYT, October 02, 2009

  Erin is an awesome yoga teacher. She possesses the qualities that make a great yoga instructor.

  One of the qualities that I admire is Erin’s attention to detail. At the beginning of class, Erin individually greets and introduces herself to any new students. She asks them about any previous yoga experience and if they have injuries or conditions that she should be aware of. Throughout the class she will offer students having previous injuries/body conditions alternate poses. She actually takes written notes and does a good job at remembering each person’s conditions and experiences week to week.

  I like Erin’s teaching style. She doesn’t do the same routine every week. She makes it point to demonstrate the different poses, especially the more difficult ones. Besides demonstrating the poses, she effectively describes and breaks down the components of the pose and points out some of the common mistakes. Also she is always scanning the room and checking everyone’s alignment. If she notices something, she goes and helps those students who aren’t quite doing the pose correctly.

  Erin does a fine job assessing each classes experience and energy level. She provides a challenging experience for everyone in the class. For example, in tree pose, she will offer the basic pose, and then a more intermediate one with arm or twisting variations, then an even more advanced one with eyes closed, with all students returning back to the basic position before ending. Depending on the classes’ energy level some of the sessions will be vigorous, relaxed or have more meditative breathing exercises and so on.

  Erin is very kind. She is open to answering questions and routinely helps people following class. On a few occasions she has brought in personal props for students with injuries to try out.

  Erin also has a very calming voice which somehow makes yourself go further than you think you could.

  I’ve been taking classes from Erin for two years now and consider myself very fortunate to have Erin as my yoga instructor.

  Namaste

  Review of Erin Goldman MSW RYT, April 26, 2009

  I was introduced to yoga by Erin and have been doing personal sessions with her for about 9 months. I've enjoyed it so much that I have added a group class that she teaches as well. Her personality, demeanor and knowledge are well suited as an instructor. She is attentive to proper form and is great at challenging you to reach that much further to get more out of her sessions. Yoga is part of my lifestyle now thanks to Erin...
