Hi, I'm Emily.

I'm a yoga teacher and student in Santa Cruz, California.

When I first stepped on a yoga mat over a decade ago, I thought I was walking into another workout class. But as yoga transformed my strength, mobility, and nervous system for the better, it became clear to me that yoga is more than a physical practice: It's a powerful tool to help you come home to yourself. Yoga is more than a physical practice: Yoga facilitates self-discovery, grounding, and joy.

I specialize in vinyasa yoga, and I teach classes that help you build strength and mobility so you can feel your best while moving through life. Expect an energetic class that weaves in ethical principles of yoga in approachable ways: encouraging a deep connection with the breath, balancing effort and ease, and finding contentment with how we move through the world and on the mat.
