What Parents Are Saying
Erin’s class is one of the rare spaces where my (very spirited) 3-year-old slows down. Seeing her connect with her body is so beautiful and she leaves each class with a sense of calm. We’ve begun using the songs and movement at home as a way to calm down or cope with big feelings.

This yoga class was so sweet and put my son immediately at ease. My 18 month toddler is usually running wild but the class was so engaging he sat in my lap the entire time, participating in the poses. It’s a wonderful experience for both parent and child.
- Caitlin M.
I was afraid I’d be in over my head solo with two toddlers, but the songs movement and storytelling kept them engaged and with me on the mat the whole class. It felt like I’d reached the light at the end of the tunnel as a twin mom! It was surprisingly relaxing and I can’t wait to go back.
