(Owner, Co-founder Laughing River Yoga) Emily has been teaching yoga since 1999.  She taught her first class to a group of homeless women and immediately recognized the power of sharing yoga.  Since then, she has continued to study and teach.  Certified as both a Kripalu and Vajra Yoga teacher,  Emily’s teaching emphasizes that through yoga and meditation practice we can learn to be present in our lives.

Emily is the owner of Laughing River Yoga where she co-directs the Laughing River Yoga Teacher Training and leads annual yogasurf retreats to Costa Rica and Maine.  Grounded and warm, she brings to her classes a thorough understanding of alignment, patience, and an invitation to compassionately explore one’s self. It is the deep inner stillness she hopes to share with her students, the sense that they are perfect as they are. Learn more about Emily at www.emilygarrettyoga.com.
