Welcome to EmPower      with Erin!
I'm here to train you in Pilates, Yoga, & Meditation through remote (Zoom or FaceTime) sessions wherever you are. In person, I offer Thai Yoga Stretch Sessions where I stretch your whole body while you relax to improve flexibility and relieve muscle and joint tension.

For those who want to become pilates instructors, I offer Balanced Body Pilates Instructor Training Courses and Continuing Education for Fitness Professionals.

If you have a high level of care about your body, want to be toned, improve posture, release muscle tension, and sometimes find yourself being stressed out or overwhelmed from all there is to do, I'm here for you! If you want high quality, mindful, smart, and safe workouts to reclaim your strong, sleek, beautiful peaceful self, I'm here for you!

I'm an Award-winning instructor who has been voted Best Pilates (Gold) & Best Yoga Instructor (Silver) in the Roanoke Valley, a top 10 Finalist in the international Pilates Anytime Next Instructor Contest, and received Best Teacher Assistant Award in the Graduate Department at VPI. I've also been a regularly featured fitness personality on WDBJ7 News for the tai-state area of VA, WV, & NC.

I've been featured in many professional magazines including Pilates Style, Women's Sports & Fitness, Women's Outdoor News, and Valley Business Front.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

I do appreciate the opportunity to learn from you and I have enjoyed your virtual classes these past months! I am grateful you continue teaching and I will continue signing up! I have noticed such a big change in my core strength, balance, and just my overall strength. I am hooked. Paired with hiking, walking my dog, and my indoor dyne bike, I have been feeling much better overall.

As an aside, I tried another fitness routine and I got a few injuries from it. There didn't seem to be as much focus on form in that gym.

What you teach is sustainable, safe, and fun! Thank you! Thank You!! I really can't wait to hear about your upcoming adventures. With much love and gratitude!

- Michelle Kelleher Roanoke, VA

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
"Erin gives clear instructions, great explanations, and I seemed to give me details about an exercise just when I needed to hear them. The video had a good pace, helpful cues, and pose modifications. The hour seemed like 15 minutes---yay! Erin is really good at giving cues that are positively reinforcing, not critical."
-Russ Wallace, Postal Worker. Roanoke, VA

I offer remote private instruction on all pieces of pilates equipment including the reformer, Wunda chair, trapeze table, ladder barrel, arc, and mat. We can also get you toned with dynabands, elastic tubing, and hand weights.
