Hi! How sweet of you to drop by. I’m Emily Lowry. A yoga teacher, and yoga photographer.  

Yoga is my greatest passion, I am a seeker of knowledge and truth, constantly reinventing how and why I teach. Although I have been teaching for almost 10 years, I consider myself a forever student. Some may say my classes are not traditional vinyasa style, and that is intentional. I’ll be honest, I started my yoga practice with too many injuries from repetition and a lack of foundations in WHY things were taught the way they were. I do not consider myself a yoga instructor, I am a yoga and movement educator. I want my students to not only know HOW to do something, but also explain WHY we are doing it. You can expect my classes to be grounded in anatomical detail with precise verbal cueing and mindfulness. Each class is structured to be an educational and comprehensive experience with specific learning objectives and goals. I am constantly furthering my education in order to offer science based movement modalities that are functional for the everyday body within the yoga space. Now that sounds kind of serious once written in black and white huh? Although I take my dedication to the practice quite serious, I am lighthearted, warm, silly and pretty awkward in real life. You are guaranteed to smile and laugh while also having a thorough experience!

I am currently teaching live classes via Zoom while we all stay safe at home, by staying out of public practicing spaces such as a yoga studio, we are able to put the health of our community first. Although we may be distant in our own homes, we still have the gift of staying socially connected through the yoga platform virtually. There is nothing I miss more than teaching to physical bodies, reading your energy, while hearing the synchronicity of each practitioners breath, gosh I miss it so much! Yet, I recognize this is what is best for the time being.

I am filled to the brim with gratitude having found not only yoga, but to also use my talent as a photographer to capture the art of Yoga. I use the two as a career path. In a lot of ways I find there are parallels in both arts as they require me to truly pay attention and live fully in the present moment exactly as it is unfolding.

I live in Santa Monica, CA with my sweet little family of 3. I am the very proud mama to my baby boy, Ryder, and loving wife to my husband Rex. Mindfulness and intention are at the heart of my teachings, lifestyle, and parenting in our home. I share my personal experiences of motherhood, teaching yoga, photography, and much more on my blog and on my instagram, give me a follow @emilymaemarie. Stay tuned in to my latest offerings, classes, workshops, trainings, and blog posts by signing up for my newsletter. Get in on the list below!

I hope to connect soon.

 

Heart & Hugs, 

Emily Lowry
