Emily is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher who completed her training with Jesse Cassady (The Grateful Yoga) at Wild & Free Power Yoga and Vida Asana School of Yoga. Emily is also a pre/postnatal yoga certified teacher through Island Prenatal Yoga.

Like many, Em stumbled upon the physical practice of yoga first with the intention of exploring a new means of working out. As she continued to explore this practice she began to unravel layers of herself that had been just waiting to be uncovered. Yoga is this great practice of being intentional so that we can truly soak in this precious human experience we’ve been gifted, and that starts with slowing down enough to notice what’s there.

In Em’s classes, expect challenges to be balanced with silly jokes, a playlist that spans decades and genres, and a safe space for connection. Em’s a lover of organization, a home project that takes way longer than expected, playing the clarinet, Philly sports, and watching the same TV show on repeat.

She’s a wife and a fur mama to her dog and two kitties. Em believes that yoga is a continual practice of choosing to begin again.
