About Your Signature Yoga
Meet Emily
Hi, I am Emily and I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with the Yoga Alliance.
I trained as a Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher with The Yoga Therapy Institute - TYTI (the world's leading Yoga Therapy school), and my main focus is on creating safe spaces for students to practice, explore and re-connect to themselves on the mat. I also have completed the Yoga Therapy Care for Breast Cancer module with TYTI, and also a Yin Yoga training.
Background
I mainly came to the yoga mat in a way to reconnect to my body after grief, having cancer and experiencing fertility issues after I turned 30. Through breathwork, meditation and movement, it became a space to stop and listen to how I was truly feeling after blocking feelings for years. Yoga has been a key part of healing for me, to re-connect to my body, and slow down my nervous system that was in survival mode.
Yoga also has greatly complimented my Freestyle Karate training, enhancing breathwork, and providing active stretching, rest and recovery.
Yoga is another way for me in life to share something with others that has truly made a difference in my life. Hopefully you will also take away or let go of something on the mat that supports you off the mat too.
I also have 12+years of experience of working in the charity sector in the UK and abroad, supporting amazing people that were vulnerable due to varying circumstances. I worked with a trauma-informed approach in this sector, especially when working in a refugee charity in the UK and supporting children living and/or working on the streets across the world.
