For my detail readers:
I am Erin Garvin, a remote pilates, yoga, fitness, and meditation instructor obsessed with providing an experience of healthy movement with correct form, supporting you with positive vibes, promoting self-care, telling you how I see it (tough love!), affirming what you are doing right with words of affirmation, setting healthy intentions towards your progress, advocating for your feeling better, nurturing you when you feel crappy and just want to unload to make room for healing through movement or meditation, and creating a loving non-judgemental space, creating a relationship where we make the workout or meditation you need per that day, helping you re-connect with parts of you that may have gotten lost in your other roles in life. 

For my bullet pointers: 
I am Erin Garvin: 
positive vibes only
self care
safe, effective exercise
spiritual 
​loving, non-judgemental
whole person health
​courageous & encouraging
words are powerful
​lovingly call it how I see it 
help your self image match your performance & habits
