• Gentle Warm-Up (5–7 min): Stretches to awaken spine and joints (neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, gentle twists)

🌿 Optional Post-Yoga Meditation

After class, you’re invited to stay for up to 20 minutes of optional meditation.

This is a quiet space where movement settles into stillness. Whether guided through breath awareness, sitting silently, or simply resting in savasana, this time deepens the benefits of your yoga practice.

✨ Benefits of Meditation:

• Calms the mind + relieves stress
• Improves focus and clarity
• Supports emotional balance
• Enhances your yoga practice
• Builds connection to self
  

Bring a cushion, folded blanket, or simply lie down. Stay a few minutes or the full time—whatever feels right.

Erin (she/her) is a certified yoga teacher (RYT-200) and mental health counselor (MHC-LP) based in WNY. She began practicing yoga in 2004 as a gentle way to connect with her body and breath.

After a life-changing accident in her 20s left her a left above-knee amputee, yoga became an essential part of her healing—helping her rebuild strength, presence, and self-compassion.

She founded Accessible Flow Yoga to create inclusive, trauma-informed spaces where people of all abilities, sizes, and experiences can practice yoga in a way that honors their unique bodies. Her teaching emphasizes accessibility, mindfulness, and the belief that yoga should meet each person exactly where they are.
