THE FYX 040: Unpacking the Power of Kundalini Yoga with Erin Downing

Erin Downing is a certified Kundalini Yoga and Pilates Instructor, holding certificates in Wellness Coaching and Plant-Based Nutrition. The author of Kundalini Yoga Demystified, Erin, is a sought after coach and speaker, bringing her philosophy of paying yourself first, mind + body + spirit, to her clients and events. Erin’s approach to healing combines healing modalities from around the world. Her knowledge of these modalities has been acquired through her personal journey of healing.

It was the science of plant-based nutrition that healed all three of her auto-immune diseases. Acupuncture and shamanism aided her journey through the grief of her mother’s passing and lost pregnancies. Pilates and yoga supported her during the decoupling of her first marriage. And it was Kundalini and meditation that paved the way to heal past traumas, learning how to come home to herself. Committed to this path of self-discovery, Erin continues to healing herself, mind + body + spirit through the modalities she teaches her clients.

In this episode, we discuss:
- How Erin found the Kundalini practice speciifically
- Some of the misconceptions around Kundalini--what it is and what it isn't
- How kundalini has provided more effective coping mechanisms in dealing with transitions in her life
- Numbing: what it is and how frequently we use it in our daily lives as an unhealthy way to cope
- Why Erin wanted to write a book--and how a writers' retreat completely changed the direction of what she felt called to write about
