Guest teacher: Emily

Bio:

I first came to yoga to recover from a running injury, but after attending a few classes, my practice became a more integral part of my physical and emotional wellbeing. I completed my 200-hour training in 2016 and taught vinyasa for several years before falling in love with restorative and yin yoga and myofascial release. I love these slower, more introspective (and interoceptive) practices for their impacts on the nervous system, body awareness, and mental health. I am an RYT-500, a Yoga Medicine Certified Therapeutic Specialist, a trauma-informed teacher, and a future therapist.

Class Description:

In this class, we're doing all things hips! We'll blend myofascial release (self-massage) techniques with mobility exercises as well as gentle stretches to explore our muscles and connective tissue in this large and important joint. I recommend having a block/block substitute and two tennis balls (or similar) of the same size as well as a blanket or towel.
