Big Sky Co-op | Embracing Healing, Ritual, and Connection: Erin’s Journey in Yoga and Social Justice

In a world where we're constantly rushing, it’s essential to find grounding, purpose, and a sense of connection to both ourselves and the world around us. Erin, a deeply insightful and grounded yoga teacher, brings this healing to life through her yoga practice, with a special focus on the body’s wisdom, ritual, and the social justice principles that guide her work.

The Power of Yoga Beyond the Mat

Yoga isn’t just about poses or flexibility. Erin teaches that yoga is a holistic practice that extends far beyond the physical, connecting us with deeper truths about ourselves and the world. Through intentional rituals, yoga helps clear the mind, restore balance, and bring awareness to how we carry trauma and societal pressures in our bodies. Erin’s work reflects a compassionate approach to helping others find peace, using yoga as a tool to release deeply ingrained biases, societal conditioning, and physical blockages.

Erin has seen firsthand how the physical practice of yoga can release old trauma, such as when she helped herself overcome knee pain that had been plaguing her for years. By setting intentions for personal growth and releasing limiting beliefs, she found that her body and mind could heal. She now teaches her students to do the same — bringing not just physical healing, but emotional and spiritual transformation.

A Path of Social Justice and Inclusivity

Erin’s yoga practice is rooted in inclusivity and social justice. From her early work in Boston organizing full moon yoga classes to her current practice in Missoula and Billings, Erin has always focused on making yoga accessible and disrupting the norms that typically exclude marginalized communities.

She emphasizes that true transformation happens not just on the mat but in the way we engage with the world around us. Erin believes that real change begins when we get right with ourselves, honor our body, and open our hearts to others. She encourages everyone, regardless of background or physical ability, to find their own path of healing.

Creating a New Community: The Big Sky Co-op

Erin’s vision aligns closely with the mission of Big Sky Co-op — to build a cooperative, inclusive community where everyone’s voices are heard, where collaboration and mutual support are the foundation of progress. The co-op provides the platform for entrepreneurs and change-makers like Erin to share their work, build their businesses, and contribute to the greater good.

Through Big Sky Co-op, Erin has connected with like-minded individuals, each committed to making positive change in their communities. Erin brings a unique perspective, combining her yoga practice with her knowledge of social media strategy and community-building. She is now exploring ways to help others create more inclusive, ethical, and mindful businesses.

A Call for Ritual, Reflection, and Healing

As we move into the holiday season, Erin’s message is especially poignant. She teaches that rituals—whether it’s a morning cup of tea, a daily stretch, or yoga practice—hold power to anchor us. The way we engage with everyday activities can be a profound expression of gratitude and intention. By recognizing the importance of these small rituals, Erin reminds us that we have the power to create peace and balance in our lives.

One of Erin’s ongoing projects is supporting the Holiday Night Lights initiative, where she is bringing people together to connect with nature and each other. Whether you're participating in community events or simply sharing your own rituals, this is the time to nurture connection, reflect, and contribute to the collective well-being.
