Emily earned her 200 hour certificate at Intentional Yoga in Kalamazoo, MI. She then attained her CPR/First Aid/AED certification through The American Red Cross and gained her SUP Yoga certification through Yen Yoga and Fitness in beautiful Traverse City, MI. Shortly afterward, Emily started her own SUP and beach yoga company on the Great Lakes. For Emily, the calling of more yogic knowledge was so great that she ultimately decided to travel to India to study under the masters. Emily earned her 500 hour certificate with a specialization in Ayurveda at Ayuryoga Eco Ashram near Mysore, India. Then followed the sun to the fabulous Florida Keys, where she studied sound therapy & reiki, founded a non-profit organization through the practice of seva, taught within several local studios and at yoga festivals.  Always a student, Emily spent a season giving and studying Karma Yoga at The Sivananda Ashram in The Bahamas. Since then, Emily has facilitated many workshops on Anatomy, Pranayama, Safety in Asana, Sanskrit Basics and more.

Following her Dharma, Emily has now facilitated and co-facilitated more than a dozen 200 and 300 hour Yoga Teacher Trainings nationally and internationally; living with a deep commitment and discipline to the teachings and yogic texts while guiding powerfully transformational classes with a pure and kind heart from Kalamazoo to Koh Samui and beyond.
