About Erik Jackson
Hello, I’m Erik Jackson, an accredited Ayurvedic Health Counselor from the Kripalu School of Ayurveda. My journey with Ayurveda began unexpectedly in 2018, it seemed to have found me rather than the other way around. I was captivated by its straightforward yet simple approach to help individuals regain and maintain balance through a deep connection with their inner wisdom and the natural world.
In addition to my work in Ayurveda, I’m a certified yoga teacher with experience teaching across North America and in Thailand. Currently, I’m based in Ellsworth, Maine, where I collaborate with the team at the Sanctuary on Church Street and Steamy Buddha Yoga. My local engagements include participating via podcast on children’s mindfulness with Healthy Acadia, leading a mindfulness course for children at the Steamy Buddha, and teaching yoga, meditation and breathwork at local recovery centers as well as the Waldo County jail’s Reentry program.
My Ayurvedic practice focuses on enhancing gut health, mental health, cultivating positive daily habits, and improving sleep. I employ a holistic approach, incorporating diet, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies. Ayurveda resonates with me personally because it teaches the art of daily living in harmony with nature. It addresses not only dis-ease but how-to live-in balance, considering the individual’s location, time of day, season, and stage of life. Ayurveda embraces the fluidity of life and its challenges, promoting small, manageable lifestyle shifts.
I invite you to discover more about yourself and redefine your sense of wellness. I look forward to partnering with you on this journey.
