Erin Lila Wilson

As a gift, my parents paid for this poor graduate student to have lessons with Erin so that I would get off my butt and out of the library for a change. And it was great! The thing I love about Erin as a yoga teacher is that she is really laid-​back. I am a klutz, to put it mildly, and not a fitness guru AT ALL. But Erin tailored the classes to my ability level and never made me feel inadequate. She was so positive! She also helped me with some neck and shoulder pain I was having, and gave me some great tips on exercises I could do at home to further alleviate the problem. She really tailors the class to each individual or group. Plus, as a prior reviewer mentioned, she is constantly doing classes and workshops to learn new techniques and practices to share with her students. As a lifelong learner myself, I really appreciate that and think it makes her stand out as a yoga teacher.
Later on, my mom came to NYC for a trip and we took a private class together with Erin. My mom had taken some yoga classes back in our hometown, but she commented that Erin was the best instructor, and led the best yoga class, that she has ever had.
For those of you who value the yoga lifestyle as a spiritual practice as well as a physical one, you should know that Erin lets her yoga practice infuse all areas of her life. Which means that she is just a delightful person, in addition to being a really excellent teacher.
And finally, I think her prices are very reasonable. She will come to you and lead a class in your home which you can share with friends in order to cut the cost.
Erin has experience leading partner yoga (where the exercises use two people’s bodies to partake of stretchy goodness) and expertise in children’s and adolescent’s yoga, too.
Thanks for all the yoga, Erin!

To say that Erin is awesome is an understatement. I met her when I was taking yoga at Barnard. For the summer, we arranged to have lessons in my living room with three of my friends and I splitting the bill. Erin varies the class depending on what we want to do: sometimes we’re feeling more relaxed and want to work on being stretchy and sometimes we want to feel worked out.
She always seems to be attending a new workshop and learning new ways for us to further our yoga practice, which means that after 5 years of classes with her, we’re still not bored.
Also, she’s just a great person!
