About Emily
Emily’s passion for movement has existed for as long as she can remember. She has been dancing since she was six years old first with Ballet, then Flamenco and then formally training in Contemporary Dance gaining a first class BA (hons) degree. She also holds a Post-grad diploma in Performance from her time spent with Transitions Dance Company. Emily started practicing Yoga when she was eighteen to complement her dance training and has since danced in some of the world’s best venues such as the Royal Opera House in London. However her nomadic soul was yearning to travel and continue her study of Yoga. Emily left London behind to deepen her study of Yoga in India and since that moment has integrated travel, dance and yoga to form part of her everyday life. She is inspired by the practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa and trained in the Hatha tradition and also fuses dance and yoga into a practice called yogic dance. Her athletic classes focus on harnessing the power that comes from within us to be soft yet strong in our practise, moving with the grace of a dancer to transition between Asana’s, correct alignment and finally experiencing the freedom and joy that comes from moving the body!
