Episode 31: The Essence that is The Class with Erin Ward

Listen Later

Welcome to The Bliss Project Podcast!  In today’s episode, we chat with our wonderful guest, Erin Ward from The Class.

IN A WORLD THAT FORCES US TO SUPPRESS HOW WE FEEL, THE CLASS ENCOURAGES EMOTIONAL RELEASE

The Class is a fun and challenging workout that combines strength training, cardio, and mindfulness to help you feel better. Through continued practice, students develop tools to empower their life, along with an incredibly strong, resilient, body. The result: a mental clearing and emotional release. Founded and created by Taryn Toomey, she learned early on that her internal compass was grounded in her ability to self-regulate with movement and music. Driven by a sense of connection to spirit, she immersed herself in different rituals, ceremonies, prayer, spiritual traditions, and psychotherapy work, unknowingly seeding the foundation for what would later become The Class. 

As a Teacher of The Class, Erin's classes are born out of a deep reverence for the miraculous and mysterious nature of the body and what it contains. There was a time when she saw her body as something she needed to fix, change, and shape. Through spiritual practice and dedication to love, she now moves and teaches from the wonder and awe of what it means to be here—alive and embodied. She hopes students leave her classes feeling wrapped in an ignited cocoon of self-love, trust, and empowerment after having moved their vessel in a way that contacts their own mystery and miracle.
