Emily Owen is a 500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, based in England. She trained in Thailand with Johnny Nasello completing her 200 hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in March 2018.
Emily continued her training in India, completing her 300 hour Advanced Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in February 2020, as well as training in Pre & Post-Natal Yoga Teacher (July 2018) & Yin Yoga (July 2020).
Yoga was introduced into Emily’s life by her mum when she was 14, when they enrolled into a 6 week beginners course. She remembers how much her and her mum laughed at each other during that first class & not having realized what they’d signed up for.
On this course she began to feel the power of the practice within her body, from then on she knew there was more to Yoga than just stretches.
Emily’s Yoga journey hasn’t been a straight one, most notably it found its way back into her life in 2015 when she found a hot yoga studio and rediscovered her love for Yoga. It became a focus, a way of being present during a time of mental distraction – an escape. This led to embarking on a life changing Yoga Retreat in Thailand, where Yoga became more than the practice on the mat, it changed her entire mindset and perspective on life.
She has since taught full-time in studios in the UK since completing her 200hr training in 2018, facilitated retreats & assisted Johnny with a 200hr teacher training in Thailand.
