Emily York · YOUR TEACHERWHO GUIDES YOU
Emily York.
Emily York is a Colorado-based yoga teacher with over 500 hours of training in Vinyasa yoga rooted in the lineage of Krishnamacharya, along with additional experience in Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra.
Originally from New Hampshire, Emily found yoga at age 12 as a way to move intuitively, ease anxiety, and feel more connected to herself.
Her classes emphasize breath, intentional movement, stillness, and accessibility, creating space for every body to explore what feels right for them.
Emily hopes students leave feeling grounded, connected, a little more at home in themselves, and like they learned something they can take off of the mat.
The practice weaves through Italian life: a shared table, nature all around, the pleasure of a discovery.
