RYT-200

My journey at Yoga Shelter began in 2014 as a student at the downtown Royal Oak location. In that time, I began to work in admin for the studio and completed teacher training. I began teaching in 2016 and through that time it’s been a pleasure to meet and connect with our amazing students. As a yoga teacher, my style and understanding of the practice continue to evolve and grow, however; my desire to emphasize lightness, joy, and love in my classes has remained the same.

I am currently pursuing a degree to be a Physical Therapist Assistant and am inspired to blend my knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology into my yoga classes. Likewise, my yoga experience is a huge part of how I plan to approach my future in physical therapy.

If you find yourself in my class, expect to embrace a little silliness, a little childhood innocence, and a lot of cues to keep you in tune with your body and your breath. We have so much power and ability to bring joy to others and we can practice this on our yoga mats.

See you soon,
Emily
