Description:

This style of yoga was developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, one of the foremost yoga masters from India who brought yoga to the western world. This style approaches each posture with clear alignment principles and implements the use of a variety of props such as blocks, bolsters, straps, the wall, chairs, blankets and more. The props support the practitioner to experience the form of each posture according to what their bodies need to properly align, balance and breathe. This class has a weekly focus such as backbends, standing balance, inversions, or restorative postures.

$15 per class

Ayurvedic Yoga with Emily is a holistic approach to creating a supportive and personalized daily practice or dinacharya specifically tailored to the individual and their constitution or dosha, intention or sankalpa, lifestyle, time of life, the seasonal energies and more. 

An asana practice is one aspect of the session. Includes open discussion + questions, pulse assessment, hands-on adjustments if/when necessary, modifications to fit individual needs, and appropriate lifestyle recommendations to work on in between sessions.

Online appointments are also available for remote clients.

Community Sound Healings are offered throughout the year, aligning with astrological events such as Solstices, Equinoxes, New/Full Moons or retrograde times. Each Sound gathering is unique to the time, and includes gentle movement, meditation and/or Yoga Nidra, and sound frequency with crystal + Himalayan singing bowls, and an array of other instruments. Plenty of bolsters, blankets and props are available to create a comfortable position to fully immerse in the experience. Attendees are also encouraged to bring their own props (ie: extra pillows, cushions, blankets) or items to ensure their comfort.

Private, one-on-one, or small group sessions are available by appointment in studio and/or on location. Emily is a life-long and classically trained musician, with a passion for holding space for recalibration and connection. She utilizes an array of instruments that hold high and lower frequencies such as crystal and bronze singing bowls, Koshi bells, tuning forks, harmonium and more. Sound Healing can be profound, sometimes subtle, and is always unique to the present moment and individual(s) receiving the sounding. Sessions can vary in approach, from grounding work to chakra balancing + energy work.
