Erin Schifferli
Yoga Practice officially arrived in Erin’s life in late adolescence as a young mother, college student, and wellness advocate. She began experimenting at home with DVD’s from the local library, in studio classes eventually, and with self-study of the theory, history and philosophy of Yoga at home. She became more and more intrigued by the combination of the movements, the flow of breath, and the state of presence it all offered. Yoga and meditation felt like a long walk in the woods, someplace to return to and explore, again and again.
She is ever grateful for the experiences that these practices have presented her and those around her. Each day, on or off the mat, Yoga, Meditation and moment-by-moment consciousness continue to offer learning opportunities. Erin has discovered so many natural ways to bring these lessons of sweetness and centering into life. The simple appreciation of an open field or the majesty of the first winter snow has taught her the gift that can be received when present awareness is practiced. Through Yoga & Meditation, Erin continues to work on remaining present, remaining connected to herself, the environment around her, and all living beings. These practices have helped her to live more fluidly, welcoming the winds of change life brings daily.
Erin is thankful to all the teachers and guides. Some of her experiences include learning with Yatra Yoga, The Kula Collective, YogaFit Systems Worldwide, Kripalu Yoga Center, Elena Brower, Swami Sadasivananda, Beautiful Birth Choices, Timothy McCall, MD, RYT, and the Ontario Vipassana Center. As she continues to learn and grow every day, she remains humbled by the efforts of all who choose awakening and openness. She believes there are many ways to practice Yoga or connectedness in everyday existence. She encourages all people on a path to continue pursuing the Spiritual action of being aware.

Jane Schmitt
Jane earned her 200 hour certification in 2011 but felt the need to continue on the educational path and in 2015 completed her 500 hours.
She has been teaching yoga in East Aurora through community education for eight years and has met many wonderful people in the community. Recently she began teaching for community education in her own town of Lancaster. Her training is in the Vinyasa style which focuses on connecting movement with breath.
One of Jane’s favorite part of being a yoga instructor is having the privilege to introduce the practice to somebody brand new. While the practice has many physical health benefits ,it is the spiritual connection that reaps the greatest reward. Yoga will not take away our problems but will help us find the strength and peace within to cope and carry on.
She is looking forward to joining the JoyWheel community to continue her calling to share her love of yoga with all who cross her path
