Erin Jacob has been studying yoga for over 15 years, and founded Centered Within Yoga in 2010. She found her yogic path after sustaining complex and debilitating injuries. She had lost the use of her arm, with a leg that was following the same path. She was suffering from mulitple organ issues and failures. After years of chronic pain and being told that a life surgery, wheelchair confinement, and medication were her best options, Erin began her search to find a better future for her health, eventually finding therapeutic yoga, and with it, she discovered the capacity to heal despite the gloomy prognosis. This amazing recovery inspired her to seek out training near and far to help her learn how to share these healing gifts with others in need.
Erin is a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) under the International Association of Yoga Therapists and is additionally registered under the Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT500 and YACEP (Approved Provider of Continuing Education for yoga teachers). With over 2000 hours of therapeutic training and over 19000 documented hours of teaching experience, she has helped thousands of students with a wide range of injuries and health conditions. Erin has found her true joy in life teaching others about the healing powers which exist inherently within us all!
