E-RYT 200, RPYT, RCYT LMT
Emily began her yoga practice in 2009 during her college days in Durango, CO. She traveled to the Caribbean jungle in Costa Rica where she began practicing more avidly, learning from Avani Gilbert of Om, AMA SER, La Colema Colectiva; Julie Hickey of One Love Wellness; and Adriana Kamala of Casa Kamala among many other wonderful teachers.
By the time she was pregnant years later, Emily was practicing yoga daily. It became a framework for health and a ritual of bonding with her growing daughter. Practicing devoutly, the tools of meditation, breath work and movement that she had learned in previous years, plus the addition of learning modifications helped ease tension during pregnancy and prepared Emily for birth.
It was not till moving back to Albuquerque when her daughter was 5, that Emily began her 200hr RYT training. She graduated in 2020, and has been teaching yoga since. She pursued early childhood education and became certified as a 95hr RCYT from Youth Alliance Yoga. She continued to look towards serving the family population by receiving accreditation with Awakened Spirit Yoga for 85hrs Prenatal + Doula training and for 20hrs Postnatal becoming a RPYT.
She continued birth work education, pursuing more postnatal training with Sarah Silverman Gorman. In addition to her yoga training, Emily is a licensed Massage Therapist through NMSM, a Thai Massage Therapist and received her 65hr Aerial Yoga certification with Whitney Whetten of Yoga Art Space in 2022.
Emily currently teaches all areas of yoga certifications at various studios, a hospital, women’s centers, private events and retreats.
