Emily Yuen
MUSE: What is your vow as a teacher?
Emily: I vow to teach and honor the place in students seeking to evolve and awaken consciousness.
MUSE: Therefore, who is your student?
Emily: A student would come to my class when they are seeking to find or strengthen their prefect nature. Those students who are ready to explore their authentic self and use it to awaken and evolve find my class supportive to their inner journey.
MUSE: What do you think is the most profound aspect of the study of yoga?
Emily: The most profound benefit of yoga is its ability to develop, strengthen and increase flexibility not only to the musculoskeletal structure and to the mind but also to the heart and consciousness.
Emily Yuen's Bio
Emily was first introduced to yoga in 1996 by Vickie and Jerry Aldridge (Iyengar yoga). Emily was very grateful to have the foundation of Iyengar yoga as she went on to try many other great forms of yoga. She is currently doing teacher training workshops with Karen Sprute-Francovich, a certified Anusara Yoga® teacher.
Emily has been studying Anusara-Inspired Yoga® with Brandie Redinger (her mentor) since 2002. Emily was drawn to study Anusara Yoga® because of its inspiring heart-felt themes and strong alignment principals unique to this tantric lineage. Because of her studies with Anam Thubten—her Tibetan buddhist teacher (who also teaches from a tantric lineage)—Anusara was very appealing.
Emily has been studying Traditional Chinese Medicine since 1999. She is a practitioner of Asian Bodywork Therapy and started teaching yoga as a way to assist more people in their healing journey. She noticed that her body could maintain acupressure treatments longer when she was regularly doing yoga and wished for her clients to experience the same benefits.
