Emily Galvin (RYT 500) has been developing her yoga practice since 2002. From the moment she stepped onto her mat her passion for the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of yoga lead her to study with some of the leading teachers in Southern and Northern California. She received her 200 hour certification in Interdisciplinary Hatha Yoga with Don and Amba Stapleton at Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. She then packed her bags and her yoga mat and took her exploring and teaching through South America were she taught at an Eco Farm in Argentina, the Jangala retreat in Peru, and in the mountains of Chile. The insight of numerous teachers allowed her to practice in styles from Ashtanga, Iyengar, Bikram, Yin, Therapeutic, Structural, Kula, and mixed styles of Hatha (Power and Gentle Flow). Her love of the therapeutic gifts yoga offers then led her to receive her 500 hour certification at Ananda Seva as a Yoga Therapist. Her relationship with yoga continues to grow, change, inspire, center, balance, and bring love and light. Her intention as a teacher is to help others to learn/heal from the inside out. Movement and laughter are essential to life and thus the basic structure of her style of teaching. She is known for her easy creative flow and transition between poses and ability to help students listen to their bodies and explore in their practice. This style allows Emily to guide in her Beginners classes and her more advanced flow classes since it is the student that learns to become the real teacher. Her yoga classes encourage students to tap into their own creativity and to stay present and rejoice in the NOW.
