Testimonials

I could not have dreamed up a better trip experience! From the first moment I met up with Erin and Manni (who are the absolute dream team of travel guides), every detail was perfectly planned out...from transportation, accommodations, food and wine...each and every one unique and top notch. The Camino trek with the addition of yoga from Ourense to Santiago de Campostella was an experience of a lifetime...a bucket list item, that now because of Erin and Manni, I am completely hooked! I thought it would be an item checked off a list, but what I realize is the Camino is now truly a part of me, and my need to return for more is undeniable. If you are considering a trip to Spain look no further, you will not be disappointed. The landscape and rich history will transport you back in time. The camaraderie and guidance of traveling on a shared path will help restore your soul. Thank you Manni and Erin for sharing your gifts with all of us. Buen Camino!

Erin is a master instructor! Having the good fortune to live locally and attend her classes at home, it is even more special to travel on one of her retreats, as she leads each unique class with a deep spirit that integrates the destination which is being experienced. In Mallorca inside the lovely yoga room at Son Fogueró, Erin’s morning classes set a beautiful tone of gratitude to start each day, and her afternoon classes were the perfect mix of the day’s activities and reflection before moving into dinner. I definitely will join more of Erin’s retreats in the future!

I love the combination of traveling, getting to know a different part of the world and yoga. To know that there is a tranquil place in the morning or/and in the evening that will center you and get you ready for the adventures to come. Thanks to International Yoga and Erin for the fabulous experiences you put together. Erin is the best and I cannot wait to go on another trip with her.

You and International Yoga go to so much trouble to create an over the top cultural immersion experience. We all felt safe and certain that each day would surprise and delight.

Our issues are in our tissues and we hold those stories in our bodies. The story gets told within sensation. Our practice is a field of exploration and ultimately transformation. If your hamstrings release and your back aches less, then these moments of grace are opportunities to create better stories.

I’m so grateful to have discovered Erin and MELT! I did a 90-minute introductory workshop today and loved it...and her!!! It helped that there were many newbies in the room and I didn’t feel any pressure. Erin was delightful and so skilled at leading us through the steps...with humor, and yet making sure we really did get it right. There must have been 40 people in the room and she comfortably handled all like a tiny orchestra!

My husband, Kevin, and I have a weekly MELT session at our house. Erin is very skilled in working with us both – she gives individual attention to our different body needs, yet is aware of the dynamics of two of us working at the same time. It has become something Kevin and I look forward to doing together. It is not only fun, we feel so much better at the end of the session! All thanks to Erin’s skill!

In my view, Erin is the GOAT of Yin yoga instructors! I’ve practiced Yin with Erin for 15+ and I can confidently say it’s because of Erin that I’ve achieved pain-free mobility and chronic elasticity, I recently rode the Marin Century…103 miles and over 7 hours on the bike and was fully recovered in less than 24 hours! Practicing Yin with Erin 3 times a week has changed everything for me. Erin teaches with compassion, warmth and humor. She is deeply knowledgeable of the Yin practice and how it releases and heals the body. Erin is welcoming to newcomers, taking time to ask about current or past injuries. During class Erin concisely describes each movement required to get into and out of every pose, she keeps a watchful eye on the students, discreetly offering pose modification options and individual attention. Newcomers to Yin yoga may come to their first class with feelings of trepidation and unease, but they leave feeling calm, reassured and grateful to have found Erin!

I just finished taking Erin’s 3 day glorious Yin Teacher Training. As a teacher I wanted to broaden my knowledge of offerings for my students and as a practitioner I wanted to experience Erin’s soulful delivery of Yin. She is a Yin Diva and combines a beautiful balance of practice with poignant music plus time for one to explore one’s edges, physically, mentally, emotionally. The training was not only informative as well as fun with the various exercises we did to round out our understanding. I recommend this powerful training to EVERYONE.

Eleven years ago I had the honor of taking a workshop from Yin Yoga Paul Grilley in DC and Sarah Powers in NYC who have greatly influenced my yoga path and continue to be deep inspirations for my work and lifestyle. Each of them provided tremendous wisdom. This weekend I had the honor of learning Yin Yoga from Erin Fleming who not only rocked my Yin World with deeper, personal and professional development but embodied such grace, elegance, humor, playfulness and wisdom ♥ Love and Infinite Gratitude Erin!
