Hello, my name is Emily, and I've been teaching yoga since 2011, when I lived, worked, and practiced at the Himalayan Institute for four years. Since then, I've been teaching and working to share yoga teaching and training online (Yogaversity.com). As a teacher, I have a passion for the simple, immediate, and transformative powers of yoga, breathwork, and meditation. My classes are accessible to all levels, focusing on building strength and mobility and cultivating a sense of joy and calm.

Rita’s lifelong love for fitness led her to the yoga practice in 2010. After practicing more regularly and being intrigued by the ancient practices of yoga and mediation, she earned her 200 RYT from Boundless Yoga School in 2023. Even though it was the physical practice that drew her in, it’s the feeling of inner peace that draws her back to the mat daily and encourages her to share the joy of yoga with others.
