Erin Jacques was awakened to yoga nine years ago.  Originally interested solely in its fitness benefits, she now believes yoga is more about inward reflection and learning self acceptance.  She completed her teacher training with Jonny Kest at the Center for Yoga in Birmingham, Michigan in 2003.  Her teaching style draws on Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Core Fusion.  In addition to teaching yoga, Jacques has coordinated corporate fitness programs for companies, such as HBO, Reebok Sports Club NY and Compuware, and runs a private training business.  She has competed in 12 marathons and has a degree in exercise physiology.
