Emily has been a lifelong student of yoga. She was first introduced to the practice as a child while tagging along with her mom to classes, and has continued to deepen her practice for the last 15 years. Growing up as a gymnast and cheerleader, she’s always been drawn to physical practices that require a deeper sense of body awareness, and the physical and mental challenge that comes with it. She's always in awe of how the body moves and what it’s capable of with practice and a good amount of play.
In 2022, Emily decided to deepen her practice and understanding of yoga by diving into her first 200 hour Vinyasa Teacher Training at Yoga Journey, and has been teaching ever since! It was here that she understood how yoga is so much more than a physical practice, touching all aspects of the mental, emotional, and spiritual realms as well. Beyond her teaching experience, Emily has her B.S. in Exercise Physiology from Florida State, and is able to masterfully bring her understanding of anatomy and physiology into her classes, whether it’s through a precise cue or an explanation into what systems of the body are working.
She brings a fun and fiery energy to every class, encouraging students to find moments to play and find their edge through her creative sequencing. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or a seasoned yogi, her classes are full of modifications and variations to meet you exactly where you are.
