about emmett

Emmett began practicing yoga in 2015, as a way to loosen up the body from a lifetime of playing soccer. Over time, he began to recognize the power of yoga beyond just its physical benefits. As the tension in his physical body softened, he noticed a simultaneous release of mental and emotional tension. Inspired to deepen his practice, he traveled to Southeast Asia in 2017 where he completed a 200-hr YTT at THE PRACTICE in Canggu, Bali

There he learned the practical and philosophical foundations of traditional Tantric Hatha Yoga, the oldest of yoga’s many styles. He also developed a dedicated meditation practice, studying Tantric Kriya and Vipassana styles in addition to other mindfulness-based techniques.

In 2019, Emmett completed a 50-hour YTT module in the foundations of Yin yoga with the SUMMERS SCHOOL OF YIN YOGA in Boston, MA. This training provided an excellent supplement to the development of Emmett’s teaching - a slower and more conscious approach that encourages students to build awareness of both physical and mental sensation.

Continually inspired to deepen his knowledge and his own practice, in 2024 Emmett enrolled in another 300-hr YTT through the CENTER FOR YOGA in Los Angeles, CA. This advanced training program builds on the knowledge gained in previous courses and has helped Emmett to sharpen his craft.

Emmett is grateful to all of his mentors and guides who have helped him along his path thus far, and who continue to play a role in his growth as teacher & student.
