OUR TEAM
EMMA KITTLE
Yoga Teacher, Photographer, Creative Director
Emma discovered yoga after she finished playing D1 volleyball. The practice became a tool to unwind the years spent in a gym training hard and lifting heavy. She was first attracted to the practice of yoga for the physical transformation. She was so locked into her physical form that she was struggling to change her mental state. The more she started opening up her body the more she realized how tight and rigid her mind had become. Day by day, she started to see how she could use her body as a road map to understand what was going on under the surface.
Emma believes yoga is accessible for everyone and helping those who train and compete at any level is what lights her fire. She is very passionate about working with athletes, especially those who identify as "non-flexible," as that is exactly where she started. Emma's clients range from high school to professional athletes. She has since joined forces with some of the leading speed, agility, and strength coaches in the field and combines that knowledge with her studies of Vinyasa, Kundalini, Sculpt, Yin and Pranayama to create safe, effective and efficient yoga sessions based on the client's individual needs.
Whatever level you are training at, our bodies are pathways to tune into our power and Emma feels passionate about guiding and assisting you on this journey.
