Emily Aronowitz, Certified Vinyasa Yoga Teacher
Emily feels grateful to be a practitioner of such an
ancient, holy lineage as yoga, and her classes are not
merely physical asanas, but a path to mental clarity and
spiritual development. Emily is a FindBalance certified
Vinyasa yoga instructor, who includes the yoga of devotion
(Bhakti) and intellect (Raja) in her classes, allowing for a
deeper experience
Yoga first found Emily at the age of six, while
accompanying her parents to Breitenbush Hotsprings
Retreat Center. Her childhood included living in ashrams
in India and Oregon, experiences that influenced her
personal lifestyle and spirituality. Emily found an adult
connection to yoga ten years ago, and began practicing regularly. Emily was first
attracted to the physicality of yoga. She believes that Western people tend to have a
difficult time getting out of our heads, and getting into our bodies allows us to find mental
peace.
Emily has studied with teachers from various schools of yoga, including with the
Omega Institute, and continues her study with gifted Vinyasa teachers, such as Lisa Mae
Osborn and Uma Hulet of the Bhaktishop (Portland, OR) and Suniti Dernovsek of
People’s Yoga (Portland, OR). She has taught in South America, Southern Oregon, and
is currently teaching in Corbett. Last year she organized and led a successful yoga
retreat outside Portland.
She teaches a dynamic, flowing class, which focuses on the alignment of breath
and movement to increase mental clarity, strength, and flexibility. Her focus on alignment
and presentation of adjustments and variations for individual bodies ensures safety and
challenge for all levels of yogis. She has also been influenced by the nurturing practices
of Yin and Prenatal Yoga. Emily believes that through conscious and joyful physical movement,
one can find a greater connection to spirit.
Emily will be holding yoga classes in Corbett on Wednesdays 8:30am-9:45am and Sundays
at 5-6:15 pm. Emily can be reached at: emilyaronowitz@gmail.com
