Hello! I am Rosemary Erb, a local Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher and all-the-time practitioner, in the tradition of KPJAYI/Sharath Yoga Centre in Mysuru, Karnataka, India.

My Yoga journey began in 2011 with Yoga Study #30 at the Yoga Center of Minneapolis.. 500 hours later, in August 2013, I participated in a week long Ashtanga Yoga Immersion held by David Swenson. We took a deep dive into Primary Series as a led class- a Vinyasa Yoga sequence taught to a group, with the intention of “Yoga Chikitsa”, or Yoga therapy, to support body and mind on the Yoga path. This led to beginning a Mysore Style (AKA self directed) practice with Ashtanga Yoga Minneapolis, One Yoga and Minnehaha Yoga with three trips to Mysuru, India, to the Sharath Yoga Centre , one in 2017, another in 2019, and 2024.

Since then, I have taught Primary Series as a led class most often in many places in the Twin Cities area. For many people, this is the doorway to a meditative, self-directed practice and community with other practitioners of movement, breath and sustained concentration .

As for off the mat living, I am a coffee and pizza loving crazy cat lady that knits triangles. A lot. : )
