About the Author

Erin Byron, MA, is a Psychotherapist, Yoga Therapist, Author, and Speaker. She began her spiritual journey as a child, paying attention to things she had no way of knowing she would one day build a life upon. Erin was curious about how the brain works and what makes a good person. Without knowing about yoga, she practiced active relaxation, star-gazing, and adapting her breath. Early life wasn’t without its pains, and Erin used the escape of reading and soothing motion of swimming to cope. Now, Erin wishes to share ideas of possibility and inspiration, believing that when each of us is at peace within ourselves (ie happy!), we are able to give more action to making the world better for others!

Erin studied Expressive Arts Therapy at the graduate level, with great attention to the power of creativity in integrative healing. Her Master of Arts degree (Counselling Psychology) is in the field of Yoga Therapy. As part of her thesis she designed and ran a study at a Toronto-area rape crisis centre, indicating yoga is an effective tool for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Erin continues to write and lead trainings on this topic.
