Yoga with Emily O.

I earned my 200 hour yoga teacher certification in Koh Phan-gan, Thailand, receiving a unique and non-Western approach to yoga. My learning involved asanas (poses), meditation, multiple yoga styles (Hatha, vinyasa, Nidra, etc), chanting, history, and philosophy. Along with this training, I have had a self-practice for many years. My background in education, anthropology, coaching (gymnastics and rock climbing), and fitness has helped me to view the body and mind holistically. I think that when the physical body is in balance, the mind can be at ease, and vice-versa. I believe that any person is capable and can benefit from yoga. With an intensive fitness background, I have a unique understanding of the body and how it performs. My focus is all encompassing--involving strength, mobility, flexibility, and body awareness. With my in depth training of the body, combined with my knowledge and training in yoga, I feel that I can give my students a powerful yoga practice.
