Emalee 

Yoga Instructor 

As a teacher of youth and a yoga instructor I work hard to make sure that I am providing what the community is asking for. Every class I teach is designed with the clientele in mind, allowing space for all levels. Whether they are beginning their yoga journey or continuing their practice I have the ability to meet anyone where they are! I am 200 hour certified and currently in the process of continuing my education so I can offer Hatha classes. I have also been Kids Yoga certified by Kidding Around Yoga. I offer private lessons, small group classes; in home or studio, and teach group classes   

Testimonials

“Monique is amazing! Her classes are fun, educational and you will feel it afterwards. Truly a great mat workout! I had lower back pain for 3 years and with the help of my chiropractor and a couple of her classes I rarely have lower back pain anymore as a result of strengthening my back and core muscles.”
