She started teaching yoga in 1992 and as a means to further her understanding of the body, became a licensed massage therapist in 1993. Her classes emphasize strength, grace, and precision and she creates a sense of curiosity in her students which leads to a natural understanding of the human body. Emily recently became a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and continually takes delight in weaving her knowledge of dance, yoga, massage and ayurveda into the classroom. In addition to teaching yoga classes at TheYoga Tree, she has a massage practice in the Seattle Roosevelt area and teaches anatomy specifically for students of yoga.
