Erin Prichard has had the privilege to teach and facilitate yoga both in the UK and globally in a wide range of settings, including SEN schools, refugee centres, charities, businesses, international retreats and studios. She always has had an appetite for Eastern thought as well as human relationships and studied Eastern Religion along with Family and Child Sciences and Development at University. She continued on to be a primary school teacher in London for more than 10 years. During her time as a teacher, she worked with many children who were refugees from war torn countries, those who experienced complex trauma, and seemed to benefit immensely from the yoga she brought to the classroom.
Alongside Live Karma Yoga, she currently facilitates trauma-informed yoga practices in HMP Wandsworth, for both people in the system as well as staff. She has recently become a TCTSY-F (Trauma Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator) and offers trauma-informed yoga both privately and in small groups.
Erin’s Yogasana class and teaching style is a combination of all traditions and schools she has learnt from including Hatha, Kripalu, Vinyasa Krama, Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Trauma informed Yoga. There is a strong focus on philosophy and inclusivity. Her classes may touch upon current events, the nature around us, Buddhist principles, and karma yoga.
She remains forever grateful to those who have influenced her teaching, including Richard Freeman & Mary Taylor, Stewart Gilchrist, Sri. V. Sheshadri, Mark Morford, Matthew Sanford, Seth Powell, Emma Henry, Sam & Annaka Harris, and Thom Yorke. When not on the mat, she can be found surfing, exploring nature, or lying in a hammock. Erin currently splits her time between London and Mexico.

Meet Your Teacher : Ayesha Sowani
Ayesha Sowani is Indian and grew up in various countries across Asia. She first encountered yoga at a young age through her family and has been practicing ever since. She trained as an upholsterer and found that yoga was a fantastic way to balance her mind and body for a physical job. Her interests and belief in yoga as healing and grounding for both body and mind led her to want to further her understanding and knowledge of the subject in both theory and practice.
Ayesha undertook her 200hr foundational yoga teacher training with Yogarise and has since completed a range of advanced CPDs / yoga courses including Yin Yoga (50hr) and Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training (60hr). Ayesha now teaches Dynamic Flow, Yogasana and Pregnancy Yoga at Yogarise in Peckham as well as 1-2-1 sessions.
