Emily
I Practiced yoga sporadically for years until 2015 when a beautiful studio opened in my neighborhood. There I discovered I could feel deep peace, selflove and acceptance.
I struggled for years after a breast cancer diagnosis at 29 and a life-long battle with my weight. I decided I wanted to teach to help breast cancer patient/ survivors and represent bigger-bodied yogis. I completed my 500- hour teacher training in 2012 and a sound practitioner training in 2022. I love to combine sound with my yoga classes, which include gentle flow, restorative, chair, Yin, and Yoga Nidra.
Life is not perfect, and I’m not perfect. But I believe yoga can change your life for the better and bring joy and opiumism to every body.
Much love,
Emily

Alonso
Arizona native ,at a crucial turning point in my life, I made the decision to embark on a dedicated journey of yoga practice. This transformative choice has had a deep impact on every aspect of my life. With my focus primarily on vinyasa-based flow, I completed my training during the winter of 2022, and I conducted my inaugural class on Valentine's Day in 2023.
My teaching philosophy revolves around the essential elements of alignment, breath, and fostering a profound connection with one's own body. I firmly believe that human potential knows no bounds, as long as individuals possess unwavering self-trust. Consequently, I passionately encourage my students to safely explore their personal boundaries, embracing challenges as opportunities for growth, while simultaneously cultivating a positive inner dialogue that serves as a catalyst for overcoming self-imposed limitations.
In my classes, you can anticipate a nurturing environment that promotes encouragement and authenticity, allowing you to truly be yourself. By the conclusion of each session, you will experience a deep sense of contentment and inner peace that can only be described as blissful.
