Emily’s classes focus on connecting movement with breath, body and mind, and she hopes to give students the space to find their own inspiration during their practice, leaving them rejuvenated and wanting to return to yoga. Her classes encourage personal examination, and her love for the practice shines through in her ability to teach with a concrete yet creative voice. As an educator, she is inspired by all of her students and loves to watch people grow, both on and off their mats. She has taught yoga for 12+ years, and over 2,000 hours of studio, corporate, private, and athlete-centered classes.
Emily has been a dedicated yoga student since 2006, and is continuously surprised at the ways yoga transforms her mind and body. Yoga has allowed Emily to find balance in a fast-paced world, and to enjoy the moment rather than always trying to plan for the future. Emily has completed two, 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher Trainings, and also leads Yoga Alliance Certified teacher trainings, as well as yoga immersions, workshops, retreats and guest lecture series.
Emily's passion for a Yoga Sculpt class led her to begin teaching a spin/strength/yoga format class in 2023, where she completed a Spin certification, and continues to spread her wings to teach other fitness and wellness modalities.
"Relax and Restore" is a NEW Restorative, gentle, and meditative yoga practice, designed to promote deep relaxation and stress reduction.
We will focus on calming the nervous system through passive, supportive poses held for longer durations (around 5 minutes) with the aid of props like blankets, bolsters, and blocks to fully support the body, allowing for complete surrender and release of tension. Practice will end with a body scan, breathing technique, yoga nidra, or other mindfulness tools, to create maximum restoration and relaxation throughout the mind and body.
