Emily’s classes offer a clear thematic and alignment focus that students can carry with them off the mat. She draws inspiration from her personal yoga practice, the everyday revelations of raising a toddler in Brooklyn, and her 10 years as a public middle school teacher (of reading, writing, history, journalism, and yoga). Through storytelling, clear instruction, and mindful sequencing, she seeks to provide students with ways to access their potential and remember their truest, highest Self.

Emily completed teacher training (RYT200) with Tara Glazier at Abhaya in 2012, shortly before her son Eliot was born. The profound impact her yoga practice had on her pregnancy, delivery, and early motherhood inspired her to share this transformative practice with women on their own journeys, and she completed Prenatal Training (PRYT85) with Lara Kohn-Thompson and Beth Donnelly Caban through the Integral Yoga Institute in 2014. She is deeply honored to support women as they empower themselves through this practice.

Emily offers deep gratitude to her all her teachers, yoga and otherwise, for sharing their gifts and inspiring her growth and dedication. She would especially like to thank Tara Glazier, Sara Neufeld, and of course, her mom and her son--her most influential teachers.
