Emily was first introduced to yoga through ballet in 2004. The experience gave her a previously undiscovered sense of presence and ease and planted a seed for continued yoga practice. Over time, her passion for yoga grew, and she obtained her 200 hour RYT certification in October 2015.

 

Emily enjoys crafting each yoga class; to her, it  is like an art. She elegantly weaves clarity of instruction into poses with poetic language and meaningful themes. Much of her inspiration comes from music, past teaching and life experiences, and present themes in her own life that seem to keep resurfacing. Emily's teaching encourages self-reflection, mindfulness, and compassion. Her classes also make use of hands-on assists (providing clients with a deepening/lengthening benefit) and/or light massage while in yoga poses.

 

During the day, Emily is an instructor at Cobblestone Arts Center in Farmington, where she teaches both music and yoga. When she’s not teaching you might find her reading, running, or performing jazz around town with her group, Em K Jazz.
