Emily Boothe is a Yoga Therapist for KNC Therapy LLC and an E-RYT 500 Yoga Instructor. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and spent over a decade as an assistant to the president in the RV capital of the world. One of her future goals is to collaborate with counselors and psychologists to integrate yoga into schools. Emily is strong-willed, passionate, and goal-oriented, with an enthusiastic drive to evolve, grow, and share knowledge. As a former athlete and coach, she brings discipline to her personal yoga practice and education. Emily's journey into yoga began humorously with the P90X program at work, which quickly became a personal challenge. Her first studio experience in Indiana, guided by a veteran teacher from New Mexico, deepened her love for the philosophy of "Know Thyself." In her classes, Emily combines her sports background with a comprehensive approach to yoga, emphasizing concepts beyond physical asanas, such as yoga nidra, meditation, and breath work. Her goal is to present yoga in a way that brings students back to their mats, encouraging self-discovery with each session. Emily's classes are welcoming, often filled with smiles and hugs, and she believes in the healing power of yoga's holistic aspects. Emily loves sharing how yoga, mindfulness, and meditation can transform daily life. She reminds her students, "In the beginning, it is always dark. The mind thinks it is forever, but the body feels the light and will always grow toward it. Breathe, let go; let be. Yatabuta (come as you are)."
