Tap into the Hidden Wisdom of People Around You

Erin Cooney is Director of Curriculum and Instruction at Pure Edge, Inc. Erin travels around the country teaching simple self-care skills like breathing, mindful movement, and guided rest to students and teachers because she believes that taking care of ourselves is a powerful way to be the
change we want to see in the world. She earned a M.Ed. in Human Development and Psychology
at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education, and a B.A. in English from Gordon College.
She has studied yoga at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India, and studied mindfulness for over a decade. Erin lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, Garth, & daughters, Lucy & Mae.

“I believe teaching self-care strategies like breathing exercises, mindful movement, and rest
during the school day helps students to access their inner resiliency, to overcome challenges and
to focus on achieving their goals and dreams.”
