Erin Larsen: The Light Remains

In 2001, after a cycling accident Erin found yoga, which ultimately shaped her amazing career, lifestyle, and being. Since that first yoga class in 2001, Erin amassed over two thousand hours of training in Yoga, Thai Bodywork, Holistic Health Coaching and two degrees in science - Biology and The Science of Food, Nutrition and Exercise from Virginia Tech (with a minor in chemistry.) All that science and knowledge about the body gave her a strong launchpad for refining her focus on holistic health and wellness. 

In recent years Erin has been focusing on leading wellness retreats across the globe, training others in Thai Bodywork, hosting women’s retreats, and holding space for those in need. She amassed a unique body of knowledge and taught others in a way that only she could. Erin was, at her core, a teacher.

When she wasn't in her studio or hosting a retreat, she loved cooking, gardening, paddle boarding, hiking with friends, climbing, mountain biking, and dreaming up their next big adventure.

On August 27th, 2024, on the drive to another adventure, Erin was involved in a fatal car accident, leaving us much too soon.

EEL’s (Erin Elizabeth Larsen) Shala Project was Erin’s dream and her husband, Landon, saw the vision and with the help of the community will bring forth a space to continue to honor her dream and serve the community for years to come.
