MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS

MY YOGA JOURNEY STARTED OVER 20 YEARS AGO ON A BORROWED YOGA MAT. I WAS JUST 22- NEWLY DIVORCED AND BROKEN. I STEPPED ONTO THAT YOGA AND BEGAN A LIFE LONG JOURNEY OF HEALING, GROWING AND SEEKING PEACE. YOGA HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT PEAK POSES OR THE OUTFITS. INSTEAD IT'S SERVED AS A TOOL TO HELP ME QUIET MY MIND, OPEN MY HEART AND FIND JOY. IT'S AN HONOR GUIDE MY STUDENTS BACK TO THEMSELVES.

TRAINED AND CERTIFIED IN VINYASA, RESTORATIVE, YOGA, ACRO, REIKI, KUNDALINI, GONG AND AYURVEDA.

OUTSIDE OF YOGA I LOVE- CHASING THE SUN, STAR GAZING, WALKS IN THE WOODS, DESIGN, MY HUSBAND'S LAUGH, MY DOGGIES, LIFE

AND LOVE.

EMILY IS AN ASHTANGA GROWN YOGI FROM TOLEDO, OHIO. SHE RECENTLY MOVED TO LUDINGTON.

A PASSION FOR TRADITIONAL ASANA AND THE DEEP SPIRITUAL PRACTICE THAT IS YOGA GUDIE HER PERSONAL PRACTICE AND EACH CLASS SHE TEACHES.

I’m returning back to Ludington after a 27 year hiatus, 20 of which was spent in Detroit. While in Detroit, I was lucky enough to come upon yoga at a time when I needed something that not only fed the body but also calmed my mind. I’ve spent the past 10 years practicing, studying, and teaching with the wonderful yogis at Detroit Yoga Lab, having earned my RYT200 there in 2017. I’ve studied and practiced Vinyasa, Yin, and meditation and mainly teach Vinyasa style classes.

My main philosophy for my classes is meeting ourselves where we are and not where we think we “should” be. Don’t force – Flow.

I am also a lover, reader, and teacher of Tarot and a certified Reiki Master Practitioner. I’m a book nerd, I enjoy hiking, and I especially love being back on beautiful Lake Michigan.
