Welcome, I'm Emma.
I am first and forever a student of yoga. I have completed over 500 hours of YTT and certification in Trauma-Informed yoga. I am here as a yoga guide - to teach what I have learned along the way and to help others transcend beyond their self-imposed limitations. Students discover their authentic self (Atma) and inner state of bliss (Ananda) through correct alignment and flowing with their breath.
Yoga has the power to transform body and mind. There is a yoga practice suitable for everyone at whatever point in life. What I teach is alignment-based Vinyasa and Trauma-Informed Restorative yoga.
Yoga transcends beyond the mat into the embodiment of the practice itself. Strength replaces fear, understanding replaces judgment, and life is filled with more ease and profound peace. Building a strong and flexible body is congruent with mental resilience, and becoming light in yoga is congruent with being light in spirit.
“Knowing others is intelligence;
knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
mastering yourself is true power.”
― Lao Tzu
