About Me

​

​Hi :) 

​

I am Emilie. I'm a yoga teacher, Kirtan facilitator, and mindfulness educator. I am the Co-Founder of Free to Be Yoga Retreats, and a YTT facilitator and retreat leader for Breath Body Earth Yoga School. For the past two years, I have been living and basing my work out of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, and I currently manage an intentional Bhakti community called Karuna in he small village of Tzununa. 

 

My approach is centered on offering my students a space where they feel safe to be in their bodies and safe to be themselves. In my workshops and classes, I weave in elements of embodiment, self-inquiry and mindfulness. As a space holder, I aspire to show up with vulnerability and authenticity, believing and knowing that when we express ourselves authentically, we invite others to do the same.

​​

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Religious Studies, a Master’s Degree in Public Service, a 200hr YTT from Arkansas Yoga Collective, 200hr YTT from Breath Body Earth Yoga School and a 300 YTT from Breath Body Earth Yoga School.
