Emily Schmidt

I first began regularly practicing yoga in 2015 because I was enticed by the physical aspects and creating all kinds of shapes with my body. After some time, I discovered the mind, body, soul connection through yoga and realized that the physical piece was only one tiny part. I was beginning to realize that yoga was helping me become the best version of myself. Yoga has helped me through the ups and downs of life and I was able to also come off all prescription medications. After going back and forth for a while, I decided to become certified as a teacher because I wanted to spread the joy of yoga ad make it available to as many people as I could. I received my 20 hour Hatha yoga teaching certification through Marianne Wells Yoga School in July 2018, a training based on teachings and concepts from BKS Iyengar. Additional trainings include restorative yoga and yoga nidra with Maureen Miller from Yoga NH. Personal fitness interests include barre, running, dance, tennis, and HIIT training.
