Emily is in the process of completing her Children’s Yoga teacher training. Her yoga journey began in high school as a tool for mindfulness and stress relief. She continues her practice now, enjoying the support of the yoga community and having a space to move freely and strengthen both physically and mentally. 

 

In joining the team at Uphoria, Emily plans to develop programs that incorporate her knowledge of gymnastics and developmentally appropriate skill building.
