Erich Schiffmann (born 1953 in Los Angeles, California) is an accomplished American Yoga Master widely known for his award-winning video, Yoga Mind & Body, featuring actress Ali MacGraw. He is the author of a best-selling book, Moving into Stillness.[1] He has been teaching yoga for more than twenty years.

At age 18 Schiffmann sent a handwritten letter to Krishnamurti and was accepted to study with him in Brockwood Park, England.[not specific enough to verify] He deepened his practice of yoga with Desikachar and Iyengar in India, and with Dona Holleman and Vanda Scaravelli in Europe.[2]

Yoga Society president Leighanne Buchanan called Schiffmann one of the "innovators" in Yoga Journal's fall 2000 issue.[3] He has produced numerous yoga instructional videos and conducts yoga workshops and teacher training throughout the United States and internationally. He currently resides in Santa Monica, California.
