Emily fell in love with yoga 15 years ago when she took her first class. Since then she has practiced and studied various forms of yoga and has found unique benefits in each style. Emily became certified at the 200 hour level with Asheville Yoga Center and is currently in the 500 hour Teacher Training with Lighten Up Yoga also in Asheville, North Carolina. She has been teaching yoga for over six years and is also certified in pre and post natal yoga as well as a trained Doula and meditation instructor. Emily teaches an alignment based flow style class. She believes that through correct alignment one can gain freedom in both mind and body. Her guiding principle is that yoga is not just for creating a flexible body but more importantly a flexible and open mind. Emily has taught classes with students ranging in age from 5 to 85 and feels comfortable teaching all ability levels. A native of Endicott, Emily recently moved back from the mountains of North Carolina with her husband and three young boys. |
