Erin Casperson
Director of the Kripalu School of Ayurveda and Lead Kripalu Faculty
Erin Casperson is Lead Kripalu Faculty and the director of the Kripalu School of Ayurveda. As an Ayurvedic Health Counselor and Ayurveda yoga teacher, Erin loves to share how ancient wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda is practiced in modern day life. An enthusiastic and heartfelt teacher and student, she has continued her studies in Ayurveda both at Kripalu and in India. What Erin has come to most appreciate about the practices of Ayurveda, yoga, and mindfulness is the inquiry into how simplicity of daily practices done over long periods of time generate enormous internal transformation. A student of planet earth and the universe, she spends as much time outdoors as possible walking the path in her backyard, gardening, or navigating the New England woods—even summiting all 48 4,000 foot mountains in New Hampshire. Erin invites others to develop awe and wonder of our natural habitat. When not geeking out on Ayurveda or hiking with her dog and partner, you will find her in the kitchen, reading a book, or finding a spot in the sun to keep warm.
