Her background as holistic health practitioner allows her to work deeply with students who are working to heal from physical/emotional trauma.

Emilia's teaching combines breath awareness, safe and intelligent sequencing, lighthearted guidance, and challenging postures to facilitate an authentic feeling in every pose. Throughout the entire class, the biggest emphasis is on breath capacity and using the breath to empower yourself in your practice, unlock emotional and physical wounds, and find the deep pleasure in connecting to Innersight.  Emilia’s classes are intended for both new and advanced students as strength and flexibility are not required— bring a willingness to learn how to feel and respond honestly to the stage where you are presently at.  Emily’s lighthearted guidance facilitates students to attain challenging postures, allowing them to discover an authentic feeling in every pose while finding the deep pleasure of connecting to authentic Self through yoga.
